And that's not meant to be a knock. But you're certainly not the demographic they're trying to reach.

I didn't take it as a knock but "old" is relative (to a point). and i'm sure are not trying to reach the senior crowd but they aren't reaching much of the other demographic either. at least the Americans. here in Houston, I imagine the latino's have been reached and it is a significant market here. but the vast majority of folks in the demographic of "people that can afford season tickets and PSLs" not many are going to pay for sports other than the big three I mentioned. following a pro team is expensive and most folks only follow one with their money because of that.
