Wejo,
Your comparison of the OT Marathon to the Subway Series (for you people who live outside of the northeast that was when the Mets lost to the Yankees in the 2000 World Series) is a terrible one. If you want to compare apples and oranges....
Yankees/Mets both have their own cable station.
In Tampa FL you can listen to the yankees on the radio. (Tampa is not in NY)
Does Iowa have a baseball team? (AAA?) again no one cares.
Let's compare apples to apples.
"If I have a race in Des Moines and put it on NBC it will get more coverage than a race in Manhattan with no network coverage."
NYRRC races are on YES on their monthly show. YES can be seen accross the US with a Dish. When was the last time a race in Iowa (BIX?) ever seen across the county.
Again MEN in NY
Women in Boston like i said last week.
Northeast Bias wins out. like it should.
