I think this would be a disaster. S****ts like football, soccer
in Europe, etc. have a large following of people who have
never played the s****t, and have no great interest in the
s****t. Teams have a place within the culture and a following
that has little to do with the s****t itself.
Interest in Fischer was similar. It wasn't about chess. It was
about an American beating a Russian at their own game.
I think a far better model to study would be the treatment
of Go in Asia.
