My theory: traditional American sports are in decline due to changing demographics in America (foreign invaders due to 1965 immigration law changes).
So these organizations see two options:
1.) Continue as usual and see revenues decline forever. A death sentence.
2.) Attempt to grow the brand with new viewers. Proposed solutions? Pander to liberals, "minorities", and foreign viewers like the Chinese.
It seems like most of them are badly executing various plans from option #2. Or intentionally sabotaging American institutions in order to destroy our culture. Maybe both, I can't even tell anymore.
100% spot on. They as in the left have been fundamentally trying to destroy American culture for decades.
The Obama cash for clunkers wasn't about "saving the earth" it was about murdering the American Car culture, no place in the world has what we had. Car culture was American Culture. Sadly, I watched scrap yards load thousands of pre 80s "scrap", that went straight to china. Gone are the days of finding nearly complete cars in old yards. Even for parts.
It was intentional.
To be fair, that can be a successful tactic. Take the WWF. When Vince Jr. took over, he geared the product toward casual fans and kids which pissed off older, traditional fans who didn't want to watch live action cartoons (and still continues to piss off internet smarks at this very moment).
Then in the Attitude Era, Vince Russo was writing the show for the average TV viewer at the expense of "real" fans. It worked for WWF/E because Vince is a mad genius who could sell ice to Eskimos, and they've usually avoided getting political (presidential impersonators aside, but Vince allegedly finds them HILARIOUS).
I think the difference is the maxim "give the people what they want," and NASCAR seems to think that people want a black face, any will do, on their TV. That seems to be a lot of people's approach nowadays, and ratings are telling.
Always wise to tailor your product to non-customers, right?

Of course it was intentional. It was the ouright stated goal.
