This is a graph of annual f1 viewership since 2008, Lewis Hamilton's first championship win. In 2017 viewership was down by 250 Million from 2008, almost half of all viewers.

Famous sportswriter Alexander Wolff once said, “I deplore dynasties for the same reasons critics rip a formulaic movie: stock characters, predictable plot.”

In this day and age, we can skip past stale or boring moments with the click of a button or a flick of the wrist. We no longer have the time to wait for that moment of excitement, and we refuse to watch boring sports.

Even in quarantine, people love to watch their favorite teams play their eternal rival in a fierce battle of skills and wits. When people are stuck in their homes, one of the only ways they can return to normality is by watching their favorite sports.

Now, in possibly the world's darkest hour, we can't afford to watch uninteresting sports. It is one of few outlets that people have left, and we cannot let one-sided matches and dynasties quell the legacies of our favorite teams and players.

In the 70’s, the Pittsburgh Steelers won an unrivaled four Superbowls in six years, and in the 1976 season, they shut out five different teams. Even to this day, they have the legacy of being one of the most dominant football teams of all time. (Hoffer)

As a lifelong Steelers fan, I understand the reverence that a team’s community has around their era of being a dynasty, but being as young as I am, I have been able to witness another dynasty in football, the Patriots.

I picked the topic of sports dynasties because all my life I have been engrossed in sports. I know that all over the world sports are a big part of many peoples lives and they cant afford these billion dollar leagues shutting down. Without exiting competition, viewers start to tune out and hurt the sports profit. When millions of people rely on the leagues for entertainment and jobs, we cannot afford to let boring matches hurt people. The part of my Op-Ed I'm most proud of would be when I create a connection between my article and the average sports fan. I was able to make this issue seem urgent and get the readers invested in my writing. Enjoy, and make sure you are supporting the sports and teams that you love!
