I'm a Boomer myself, and about 40 years ago we were blamed for all the current ills. Blaming the younger generation is stupid. Yeah, each generation is a bit different, and grows up in different circumstances.

Horse racing is a dying sport in no small part because younger people for a long time now just haven't been very interested in it. Tracks have closed or greatly reduced the length of their season.
