Why is NASCAR in trouble when...?

Your statement makes no sense.

NASCAR is in trouble simply because of the acres of empty seats and declining TV ratings. Back in the days before the four hour pre-race shows and everybody taking everything so seriously, NASCAR was fun to watch. Now the fun is gone, and the fans are going somewhere else.

There is much to attack in your statement.

Tiger Woods - His personal life is nobody's business but he, his wife, and his family. Period. It is not golf or sports related in any way.

Where is this "brunt of criticism" of Nascar drivers you're talking about? I watch/listen as much sports talk tv/radio as anyone. I haven't heard a thing.

Nascar isn't "dying". No rational minded person is saying that. People are frustrated with the state of the sport yes. But even now in the worst of times, there are tens of thousands of fans at each race, tens of millions watching on TV, and it is still by fat the biggest racing league in the US.

LeBron James did nothing wrong in my opinion. The man left one place for a better opportunity and the decision was presented via a short interview on ESPN. So what.

Ben Rothelisberger, for all we know, is only guilty of going out with some buddies to a bar. Players being suspended after not even being charged with anything is utter crap IMO.

Michael Vick? Yes, he's a dirt bag and should never have been let back in the league.

The overall premise of your statement is vague but I agree. Nascar athletes are good guys, family people who stay out of trouble. But I'm just not hearing anywhere that they're being accused of otherwise.

Brian France is the reason NASCAR failing.

Because we don't want a sport with Tiger Woods, playoffs, LeBron James, Rothelisberger and Michael Vick. We want a sport where they are actually racing instead of this crap that "DICKTATOR BRIAN FRANCE" has made the sport evolve into.

added;

Oh it's dying alright. When half of the seats at Indy were empty that means that sponsors are thinking their products aren't selling. When sponsors are dissatisfied they go elsewhere. No fans, no sponsors. No sponsors, no NASCAR. It's like cancer to the sport and it's bad that NASCAR has to have someone like Brian France in the sport slowly destroying it. NASCAR was once so big.

there is a difference between integrity and $$$. the stands of nascar have looked like a balding man in the last year or so, and are losing tv viewers as well..

all other sports are doing well despite numerous player transgressions

well see harry potter was only trying to be taught how to use a wand stick so he just blasted it every where around the room where he was being teached.

NASCAR has a more conservative fan base.

Perhaps you're not familiar with the names of "former" drivers Jeremy Mayfield, Aaron Fike, Kevin Grubb, or Shane Hmiel........... or their problems relating to failed drug tests.

I agree with MR. Chuck .
