Sports Cancelled?

More and more sports are starting to advertise on television to boost their viewers and attendees who go to games. NASCAR, the NHL, and the NFLs playoffs are just a few of the sports who have recently been advertising all that they have to offer. NASCAR and the NHL has openly complained about a decrease in viewers in the last few years. So why not, like a scripted TV show, cancel the broadcasting of the sport? I believe that if we keep traveling down the path we are then sports will be replaced on TV by other scripted “sports entertainment”. Such shows as the WWE, American Gladiator and the TNA are some of the shows that imitate sports but are fixed. That’s what seperates sports entertainment with real sports. In real sports a close and exciting game is something to look forward to, and not something to happen every time. But a close match in sports entertainment is expected and must keep getting closer, faster and more exciting until contraversy and “feuds” with opponents. The canceling of sports won’t happen anytime soon but it is a possibility if Americans continue this craving for the latest Big Brother and not the World Series.
