ABC’s telecast of the Patriot Games draws minuscule audience | Just 1.21 million viewers tuned in last Thursday, less than half of what “Press Your Luck” earned one week prior.

I had literally no idea this was even a thing.

From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Games_(event)):

> All participants were between the ages of 14 and 17 and were United States citizens or legal residents. Several selected participants represented states that they do not live in, and the body of selected participants as a whole was described by CNN as “overwhelmingly white” with many participants coming from Christian schools. Transgender athletes were forbidden to compete.

Sounds about white.

I’ve also read that the Peter Thiel-backed Enhanced Games lost a lot of money as well.
