Oh, I'm sure it will survive, just like baseball after the strikes, but it won't be thriving with upward momentum for a while. Sponsor money has already been pulled and exactly how long do you think it will take the media to begin reflecting and recapping the problems with this past tour, heck, they'll still be wading thru the "evidence" of OP by then and everyday will require bringing it up the tragic results of 06. There's a great chance it won't be televised in the US and it will be back to reading about it via the web.
