Ringling Bros. circus to close after 146 years
>  But it seemingly was no match for Pokemon Go and a generation of kids who desire familiar brands and YouTube celebrities.I hate how stuff is just thrown into articles like this as if it's fact.  The circus was passé when I was a kid 30 years ago.I could throw out unsubstantiated garbage like this as well and claim that kids today are actually much more understanding of animal welfare and would rather see animals in their natural habit on Youtube than see them perform tricks on a stage.
