I just threw that out there to see if it stuck.
However! I think I read that young people have less patience for sitting through, say, four hour football broadcasts to catch 10-15 minutes of actual play.
It bores the “interactive generations.”
I don’t know!
i read how everyone only watches sports live.
those people either love watching commercials, or haven't figured out you can record video now.
except rare exceptions, i haven't watched sports live since i got my first VCR in 1980 to record games when i wasn't home.
since my first DVRs in the early 90s, i always let the game get ahead of me before i start watching on the DVR.
even when watching with others, we let the game get ahead before we start watching.
not only can you skip all the commercials and time outs and halftime, but you can do all your own replays whenever you want.
makes the end of games watchable again, with play stopage after play stopage between every 20 seconds of action.
makes late night games watchable later if you have to crash.
and comes in handy for old guys like me who have to piss every 5 mins.
fact is, i watch virtually nothing live anymore, as the proliferation of commercials has made it literally unwatchable for me.
i would say commercial after commercial, but that would be very inaccurate.
other than sports, it's now commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial.
that's right, the average commercial break is now 5 mins, so each with 10 consecutive 30 second spots if all spots are 30 seconds.
really people, get a DVR, use it, and enjoy the games and any tv viewing again.
