I hear you. I guess lots of people who do love football will be home to watch it. I do think they need to be played on a sports channel.
Because some people actually like to watch football, and with many people having that day off from work, it gives those people something to watch besides Soaps.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
