The industry is driven by gambling, and yeah we need new fans, the kind who bet. Other wise what good are they for the industry?

New fans WILL GAMBLE. You are mired in the muck also. No creativity, no new ideas to attract fans. You have to market to successfully sell a product. The industry makes incredibly futile attempts to do this. Mike you are satisfied with the status quo. I am not. I was drawn to this game before you because of the athleticism of the animals. I dont think you have any idea how many people my age where captured by racing because of Secretariat. We were shown a great athlete. And now we go to the track to see other athletes, and at the same time are drawn to the beautiful complexities of gambling. This is what you dont get. You have to step outside what all your people mired in the game tell you. They like the status quo.
Are you telling me we cannot draw more fans that will gamble to the game? If so you are giving up and should not be on any committees trying to show the beautiful part of the sport. And that is very simply running. The rest will come along. This is what I believe. Maybe you have been around naysayers too long.
