Which “underground” sports will actually work on TV/streaming/etc.?
from 50% Facts · host Jim McDonald
This discussion started with a basic question: If Olympic weightlifting is really leaving the Olympics, will a mass audience ever be able to watch it again, and will it even survive? This brought up a larger question: Which of the current (or future) underground sports would actually work on TV or streaming? This one got a little off the rails, but it was worth brainstorming what makes a sport interesting to the masses. Dean Saddoris of Caffeine & Kilos joined us in this discussion.
