Tim in Toronto, Ontario asks…
What’s your opinion on in-game live blogging/viewer questions?
Answer: It is annoying.
One word can synopsize my reaction to this phenomenon…Wow!
Our society’s attention deficit disorder has become so acute that we can no longer focus on television, a media that, apparently, played a key role in weakening our concentration spans. Now, viewers cannot pay attention to sports game, for they feel the idiotic need to ask questions to and read (usually) grammatically horrendous and dull analysis.
The poisonous media in sports is disturbing. The “sports experience” ought to be about subjective observation, not blog reading. Now, major outlets, like TSN, have resorted to junky live online in-game coverage.
If people want to increase their athletic knowledge, they would actually watch matches.
