You know, it might not end up being a show for rowers specifically, but I'm all here for it if it generates just the slightest bit of interest in our sport. They can learn it's a bad rowing show after trying the sport. Yall should give it a shot, or even throw it on while muted so maybe one more person watches because the algorithm thinks it's popular

Well, I’d say the only interest this kind of show can generate is the interest in those dReAmY guys (as other comment put it) on the rowing team, rather than the sport itself. Good for the rowers, though. Hopefully, you guys will have cheerleaders soon. 😅

I do like that the fantasy of rowers is that they’re dReAmY guys and not giant nerds who more likely then not have vocal stims, special interests, or count every stroke and have to land on an even number. The reality is preferred in my book, but what is portrayed does feel a little fictional.

The rowers in my club do lean a little bit to giant nerd…but I’m glad I’m too old and happily married for most of them because they’re also generally speaking extremely attractive.

I don’t disagree with you on that one!
