| Not really. WRC isn’t niche. Period. It might not be as big as F1 but that doesn’t make it niche. And your arguments about how it’s “niche” only demonstrate that you don’t know what a niche sport is. I partake in plenty of niche sports. And compared to them, WRC is massive. Some might even say it’s mainstream in comparison to some of the sports I’ve competed in. Anyway, to the point at hand: Speedway racing is niche in comparison and that’s head to head. Thus by your logical fallacy, TT should be more popular than head to head. Clearly that’s not a correct deduction of the statistics though. Ping n Ford races are head to head and they have extremely small view figures. In fact I could list dozens of obscure sports that are head to head and get smaller viewing figures than other TT events. All your arguments prove is that some sports are more popular than some other sports for a variety of reasons which are far too broad to distil down to a single variable. And this is the point I’ve repeatedly made. To argue that one format exist because of one singular reason is overly simplistic to the point of being stupid. |
