I glance through some signatures and did recognize at least one scca person in the latest list. Other than that, though, not sure how legitimate it is.. |
Online petitions do nothing. The fact is, Speed makes money off of NASCAR crap... more money than they do off non-NASCAR programming. They don't care about the audience, they only care about what shows the advertizers pay for... and since the ad monkeys all think NASCAR is the hot shit, that's what they pay for, which determines Speed's lineup.
What's going to happen is that Speed will see their viewership decline (hopefully, otherwise I have no faith in american motorsports fans) and realize that more Kenny Wallace is not going to help the situation. Once the advertizers see the audience go away, they'll stop paying for the NASCAR junk, and either Speed will go under, or change programming quickly enough to get the audience back.
What sucks is that we're going to have to go through a period of garbage programming while that occurs.
