Are the X Games ONLY for Generation X and Y viewers?

January 27th, 2013 1 comment

Will you get weird looks if your younger and are just into Motocross of they are? Or is it all good?

Quote:

"The X Games is a commercial annual sports event, controlled and arranged by Disney-owned US sports broadcaster ESPN, which focuses on extreme Action Sports intended for Generation X and Generation Y viewers. The games started in 1995."

Does that mean that group of people strictly? Or can younger people enjoy the games as well?

Thanks.

No, but the sports in X-Games do cater to younger viewers. That’s a very important demographic for advertisers to reach, so they support the games. If X-Games was of little interest and no one watched it would fail, due to the lack of commercial support.
