NASCAR has gone back to being a regional sport just like hockey and soon-to-be baseball.

Why would Nascar or Golf make a sports ratings list?

And there weren't even playing any sports at the opening ceremonies!

saw a piece on Bryant Gumble's show that had grave analysis for the future of golf

Yea, Golf is in deep trouble. 400,000 Golfers gave up the game last year & more than 400 Golf courses closed last year. TV ratings are down 30+ %. Some courses are actually offering Frisbee Golf.

NASCAR is on the ropes too.

Baseball is heading for disaster as well.
