Drone Racing is a thing. I’ve posted about it before, I can’t remember though if I posted about the Drone Racing League (DRL), I think I did. It’s a cool thing to watch the highlights and edited videos of. I’m not sure if I would watch a live race. ESPN however is hoping differently. On Sunday October 23, 2016 they will air the first of 10 episodes for the 2016 DRL season. Honestly, I don’t see it succeeding, at least not at any level approaching those traditional sports reach. I’m not talking Monday Night Football numbers, or even Saturday afternoon hockey. I think it will be a stretch to get in the millions of viewers to this. But we’ll see.
