and you know, after reading posts here and in other threads, does anyone REALLY give a damn about the casual fans? casual fans aren't going to save this or any sport. it'd be nice if the sport would cater to the real fans, their base and the ones who keep it going.
I don't. To hell with the casual fans. I'm tired of them always being the ones being catered to.

I would say a casual fan is someone who flips back and forth from College football. Maybe someone who watched gameday and sparked an interest. Someones girlfriend who never goes to the track and comes over on Saturdays. Little kids having a piece of pizza around a room full of adults watching the races. The cat? Those are casuals, and probably none of those people understand a big beautiful animal breaking her leg in the biggest race of her career.
