As an aside, sports programming has really been something that TV execs have focused on, because people prefer to watch live, and will sit through the commercials.
In an age of DVR recording, sports are one of the few types of programs that people will watch live, when it’s actually broadcast, as opposed to recording on the DVR.
If critical masses of people don’t want to watch sports, that will be a game changer for the TV business model.
I guess I am missing out because I don’t give a crap about sports. Football was good for betting on but not much else. I am always amused at the way sports fans say we and they when referring to their team of choice. As if they had any power or control over the outcome of any game. They don’t. You can go to a game and scream and yell and get drunk but it makes absolutely no difference to the outcome. Lucky hats. Sixth man. All they are doing is making other people rich. Stupid.
