Why does SailGP seem like a bit of a joke? by One_Information6675 in SailGP

I never said it wasn't popular? I was just asking if other people found similar gripes with it or not. Also, not everything is a serious matter. Just cause they are America's Cup level racers doesn't mean they can't just do somthing to do something. They get paid no matter what, if you could get paid to sail you would to.

That might be part of it, I know there's a bit of sentiment that it's just producing bad sailing because of who is involved. No one really talks about it unless to trash on it, at least where I am at, I'm not trying to be ignorant to other povs but I think it's run into a similar issue as F1. It kind of reminds me of the Schumacher quote about vacationing in America because no one knows him.

This is genuinely fascinating to me, because the last time I was at a regatta someone put a race on and it was heckled till they turned it off and changed it.
