What the hell are kids going to do now?
This article is depressing. The circus is closing as kids don't have the attention span to sit still to watch a show without elephants (animal rights people).

Actually, it's a more a case of the libturdz trying to make America fall apart at the seams. -
Are youth are more interested in playing violent video games and having easy access to guns so they can start shooting people when their brains quit processing the difference between fantasy and real life.

Trump must intervene and save those jobs!!!! MAGA!!! MAWA!!!!

The nostalgia can only keep a relatively boring experience in business for so long. The world has moved on. Sears and Macy's are going the same way because they can't adapt to the world of Amazon.

Nothing wrong with it.

The same is true for coal. The world has moved on. Trump still wants to Make Coal Burn Again! -
Maybe we can get them to start running

Omg, do you think buggy carriages will be the next thing to go? If they get rid of abacuses I'm out of here let me tell you.

I saw the show a couple years ago. It was ok. The problem is there are better ways to spend your entertainment dollar. Feld Entertainment, who also runs the much more entertaining Disney on Ice shows probably doesn't make much money from the circus shows.

I went a few years ago and it seemed remarkably slow moving.
Of course, me being a kid of nearly 60 probably played into that. -
Cirque de Soleil and the Big Apple Circus are both thriving. Not only is there a greater variety of acts but the action is much much closer to the audience (like literally right on top of you). Plus Las Vegas still has its animal acts. Ringling Brothers was an antiquated model of a circus.

I have never actually seen the B&B circus, but their circus train was cool as hell. We used to go down and party with some people we knew on it every time it came to Atlanta. They parked (or whatever is the correct rail term) underneath the Omni. Good times!

All of the suckers are busy watching Trump's clown show. They think it's free.

Is it any coincidence that they just had their fist female ringmaster?? Hmmmmmm

With the biggest circus in the world officially opening at the inauguration on Friday, they know their place in the circus business.
Come one, come all, to the greatest (sh!t) show on earth!

Its those named PETA people. What are all them animals going to do for work now?
Guess they'll have to be deported.
I was hoping to attend Ringling Bros. Clown college. I'll have to go with everyone's second choice, Cornell. -
I would say it is about time. I went to the circus once in the seventies - I'm 58 now - and it was archaic and outdated even then as entertainment. Put a few artifacts in a history museum where they belong.
