Rumours of the death of sports are greatly exaggerated, IMO.

I think it’s more like the death of the types of growth in the business of sports these businesses have grown accustomed to. Just like any business there are price points that become more and more difficult to justify and I think you’ll start to see that in coming years especially as the standard of living in Canada erodes and cost of living continues to increase without corresponding increases to average incomes. Hopefully incomes grow but it really does end up becoming simply a math problem on averages and people are probably choosing things like food and shelter over Tuesday night against the Arizona Coyotes.
