Notice that I didn't delete it....I'm working overtime on not giving a shit what you think.
Chick, this year we will have, as live webcasts, just 4 pro shows: IM, Arnold, Europa and the O (as well as a delayed NPC (wow!!!)
Last year we had :IM,Arnold, NY, colorado, keystone, europa and the O. How as the budget gone down so much that we are missing out on so many this year? Okay the keystone isn't on, but it's embarrassing if your namesake Tampa/pro bodybuilding weekly pro hasn't even got a webcast??
Is this a case of promotors deciding that less people will attend the shows if it's broadcasted on line? I bet that there is a NY pro DVD released to further cash in...?
America and indeed the world is a large place. People can't be expected to travel across the states, or indeed from the four corners of the world to watch the shows in person. I, and i am sure that many fans are very,very disappointed in the decision to bypass certain webcasts and it does nothing for promoting the sport. These days we see less webcasts, cancelled shows, no European circuits, the list goes on. It should be a given that EVERY stateside show has got a webcast, either live or delayed, but in its entirety. From what I can see, the sport is only going one way:backwards.
