The former. The indifference of the broad US public to anything not
involving the triumph of Americans is well known - hardly a controversial
view
I think track and field can play to the masses, but I think for any major sport
to break into the US market it needs stars and people who are doing amazing
things, and most importantly those stars need to marketed so that people
unfamiliar with the sport will tune in to watch that star, and hopefu

Justin Clouder would have more sympathy for US track fans if he had to put

Justin has it right, IMO. In the last few weeks, I have had nearly a dozen
people ask me whether Janet Trujillo (who won the adidas Oregon 1500) and I
are related. (We're not.) The ONLY way they would ever think to ask that

That may be true but is there that much of a viewer falloff when she's NOT
playing?
JT
That's not the point. The point is that it attracts new viewership, and
hopefully by watching her play and becoming educated, they will develop an
interest in the game and watch it regardless as to whether she is playing or now.
