I was watching ESPN a few days ago and guess what was on? I was surprised to find the World Juggling Championships being shown.
WTF???
There has been a good deal of discussion here and elsewhere concerning showing pro races, or rather, the lack of it. In many responses, the feeling is there is not enough interest in marketing during bike races. But, Juggling??? I still can't believe it was on. At one point during an intense and most impressive display of athletisism and competitive fortitude, one of the competitors, (a household name no doubt), attempted a 5-up, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1, with a 360 immediately after a double-flat-spin with no transitional throw. . . anyway, the camera broke off from the most awe-inspiring display to show the fan-filled stadium, well, uhhh, the 20 or so people sitting on the wooden bleachers in the corner of the room.
How can this be?
I'm not bashing the jugglers, I just can't fathom juggling garners a larger audience than cycling.
