So who watches it?

Maybe it's a demographic issue. No one on this board seems to watch it. My brother and I used to watch Sports Center religiously but stopped years ago. I don't think any of my friends watch non-live espn content any more. Our sons are big sports fans and they don't watch. Who the hell watches it?
