As I tell my wife about Ice Skating*: You need a Beer sponsor. No-one
pre-empts a sport sponsored by Budweiser or Miller! Same thing with
games - get Budweiser to become the "Official Beer of Glorantha" and you'll
get all the promotion you can wish for. Including Vingan mud wrestling...
- For a while Figure Skating had Korbel Champagne as a sponsor, but not
enough people drink champagne... Ice skating will be pre-empted by Golf, fer
cryin' out loud! Most Shows were taped 6 months previously - it takes the
Olympics to get same-day coverage of figure skating (or a good club to the
kneecap - Tanya Harding and Jeff Gillooly probably did more for the sport
than Michelle Kwan, Tara Lipinski and Brian Boitano put together!)
