i’m with ya I wish i didn’t like such niche sports and actually liked football because so many guys like football

Anonymous OP 21w

Which niche sports? I’m a cricket guy and that’s not very popular among most people I know

nascar,f1,indycar and figure skating(also hockey but that’s less niche)

Anonymous OP 21w

I feel like f1 really isn’t that niche anymore. The series and movie I feel really helped increase its popularity

Anonymous bluetiger_ 21w

yes and no because most new fans are casuals and don’t actually know much about rules and regulations and the engendering side which is what i’m interested in talking about

Yup I feel your pain. I always wanna watch and talk about test matches which take 5 days each and nobody I know has the interest for that

Anonymous OP 21w

Oh yeah it definitely does. It’s huge in other parts of the world just not in the USA. And I’ve been able to indoctrinate a few people, mostly for shorter matches though

Anonymous OP 21w

Anonymous bluetiger_ 21w

Anonymous OP 21w

That’s not bad at all. That’s pretty normal length for most sports

Anonymous bluetiger_ 21w

Anonymous bluetiger_ 21w

hockey being niche is entirely dependent on location, it’s not niche in cold places, it is niche in hot regions like the South (though that’s changing because of Southern teams doing well)
