Giving the Answers to a Direct Question
Do TV sports directors ever watch sports at home? They are so out of touch with viewers that I feel the need to point out some obvious mistakes of TV sports coverage:
--Sports viewers never want live action displaced by replays. Never.
--Sports viewers don’t want even a few minutes of non-sports background informantion--like having to watch how Grover Cleveland established Labor Day before the real coverage of U.S. Open Tennis began.
--Sports viewers who watch boxing have no morals. They are not offended by a boxer getting beaten bloody and they would also not be offended if the cameras caught a few seconds of the girls carrying the cards around the ring between rounds.
