On the old/young fans...@curlercups. He's gaining probably 2 younger fans for every older one he loses. The sport will be fine.

3. Clear divisions between new and old fans. There's such an obvious, strong inverse relationship between what each group loves and hates.
Swearing? New fans love. Old fans hate.
Ignoring minor infractions? Old fans say play on. New fans can't get over "the rules!"

After remaining somewhat on the sidelines this Olympic run, a few observations:
1. Way more positive social media comments and posts about curling vs the usual "wHY iS tHIs A spORt?"
English
The general vibe of the instagram reels and tiktok posts about curling just feels "more" this cycle. Like more than the usual bump. I think we earned some real fans that can be retained if we give them something else to continue with (cue the upcoming events and @rockleaguecurl)

4. Broadcasts. Old fans NEED it on cable TV. New fans want it online 24/7 somewhere easy to stream.

Remember when people said curling needed a villain, and it was Bottcher? 😂 😂 😂

So, are those who think the Olympic qualifiers should just be a straight round robin without playoffs going to speak up if Homan medals?

Not apologizing for a supersized article, but we've had 10 national qualifying events wrap up over the last 2 weekends.
And a club connecting with social media influencers to help their Olympic push.

Final Slam of the year starts tomorrow with lots of interesting storylines for the three US teams competing. As I mentioned last month, this is the first time the US has ever had two men's teams in this event.
Remember that all games are streamed *free* on Rock Channel!
