Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1091459, member: 628"] Right, but it wasn't as big of a deal as was portrayed, by the numbers. NASCAR used to claim that they had higher ratings than the NBA, and the media ate it up. Problem with that is NASCAR Sprint Cup race is on once a week, as opposed to the 8-10 national NBA games on each week, along with the dozens of regional NBA games on each week. So yes, that one Sunday race often had a higher rating that the Sunday nationally broadcast NBA game, but if you added up all the rest of the NBA audience it made NASCAR audiences look tiny. Just making the point that things like "fastest growing" can be...highly manipulated. [/QUOTE]
