Just reminds me of the probably apocraphal story of the LA Kings, when they
had such poor attendence early on despite LA having "the most transplanted
Canadians of any city in the world."
 
The story is that when the Kings surveyed the population to see why
these transplants weren't missing hockey, they kept hearing "did it ever
occur to you guys WHY WE LEFT CANADA?!?"   :-)
 
Like I said, probably apocraphal, but when I teach people sampling theory
I use it as an example of statistically non-representative sampling.  :-)
