Not enough fans in the US.
You're right but I will say- I was seeing a woman and we would watch track. She had never watched and would not have if I didn't put it on. I explained things to her (the way the NBC announcers SHOULD have) and she was interested.
5 years later, she'll ask me if there's track on. She likes the athletes. She thinks they're better role models than NFL, NBA, etc.
If it was on and people like us got others interested we could grow a fan base.
Many of the athletes could be very popular if they were presented and marketed right.
