Those things are no basis for interest if the entertainment product itself isn't entertaining.

With GG coaching, I find myself much less interested in watching games. I even find my enthusiasm for individual players on the team has gone down. And when the Flames do win, I rarely feel like it was a thrilling or exciting game that I had fun watching. More like it's just another output of the mechanical process going on every day with that group.
Thanks button isn't enough. This mirrors my thoughts exactly.
