The value, and finer points of the game, are lost in the era of "reality TV", which doesn't take any knolwedge or skills. One wonders if the future will continue to hold a place for the knowledgeable sports announcers? Note: Steph Curry is an excellent NBA player - good choice!

Indeed this is following a new trend. It actually parallels the declining knowledge in the news as well, and the decline in the public's subscriptions to newspapers and knowledgeable reporting.

I suppose I wasn't initially considering income being as big a factor, but I suppose that makes sense. A friend of mine grew up in Africa (missionary family) and they learned French in school. But it was an embassy school, so I'm not sure how many native Africans have access to being able to learn French - or English, for that matter.

Though I guess it's a bit of a blow to my ego to admit to not being under 30. (But I'm only a few years older) Lol. Anyway, I'm a Yankees fan because my grandpa is a Yankees Fan and I grew up watching Yankees games with him. And, as is required of Yankees fan, I hate the Red Sox, with a passion. (You can't be one without the other.) I'll also watch a whole game, but only if the Yankees are playing. I was able to get free tickets to a few Nuggets games this last season, and my husband and I mostly just like going for the food. :-/ Reply Post Message Messages List Start a Board Login 50% 50% JohnBarnes 4/27/2017 10:58:07 PM User Rank Platinum Re: Any guesses about whether the orientation to sports is a smart or a risky move? ElizabethV, Given what the Nuggets have been like of late, going for the food is an excellent approach.
