I meant from the perspective that NOBODY came to watch the Washington Generals but the Harlem Globetrotters needed an opponent to sell their farce of a genuine basketball game. The Generals showed up every night for the pleasure of being humiliated - and getting paid for it. It beat parking cars or selling insurance.

The Astros will get as much national media attention during a Yankees or Red Sox game as the Washington Generals, and the score will probably be as lopsided.
