Agree, that does seem contradictory.  What I meant was that there
needs to be changes in order for the sport to become mainstream.  But
these changes won't be influenced directly from fans of other
mainstream sports.  Our lack of popularity will influence the changes
and the changes will come from people currently involved in our sport.
 As we make changes and the sport gains some more wide spread appeal
we will start to attract those other fans.  But they will not be
directly influencing our sport.  Make sense?
