But you need to do X-amount of fundraising or volunteering to get that price." So that's NOT the price. IF your pricing model is not sustainable without a fundraising component then you're kidding yourself. Exactly! When we get the fundraising junk, we call the teacher/coach (whatever) and ask, “how much do I need to wrote the check for so we don’t have to do this?” Usually it equals about $200. In my book, that is well worth my time and sanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll write fund raising letters for donations for teams. That actually works. Although, my daughter had a killer sales line for her soccer team cookie dough fund raiser, “Good afternoon Ma’am, would your like to make a donation to our soccer team? For a $20 you get a box of cookie dough.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring???? Oh you mean that American football is so exciting that it takes 3 hours for a game that is only actually played for 15 minutes? Maybe it’s the endless replays they show because NOTHING is happening that’s exciting, or maybe the red shirting of QB’s, or the endless atom splitting of “was it a catch”, or the US teams that travel to London for a 9am game, or the ties real sports don’t end in ties!

Destino Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Which major sports you think are boring comes down to personal preference. There is no right or wrong answer generally speaking. Though, you probably shouldn’t be calling any sport boring if you watch golf. I enjoy fishing, and so I (just like golf fans) also have no room to complain about the boring hobbies others. Floating around in a plastic kayak that smells vaguely like fish and plastic worms is my idea of an ideal morning. No one will ever convince me otherwise.

Elessar78 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Hmmm. Now that the NFL enforces the rule differently, QBs seem to be evolving a new strategy.

But, when someone disses soccer and means it that irritates me. We've got no small percentage of slopped foreheads around us who insist on calling them turf fairies.

It did, considerably, combine the VAR with the yellow card punishment for embellishment and it's had a significant effect.

One great thing about it is that there aren't any commercial breaks until the half. 45 mins and 45 mins of non stop play, which is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the double edged sword is that it's the exact reason advertisers don't like it. But, with the uniform ads, and on field ads they get lots of time. I can imagine doing split screen stuff as well at some point, that could certainly help with the revenue side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've never watched Rugby, it's a nice median between the American and soccer. The All of Nothing on Prime Video on the new Zealand All Blacks is a great entry point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
