ABSTRACT

Why do you watch sports on TV? For most people the answer includes one or more of these factors:

To see your favorite team.

To follow and admire favorite players.

To see competition, collisions, and confrontation.

To see performances by individuals who are the best in the world at what they do.

To see human drama that is unscripted.

To see how a story will end, to see who wins and who loses. (If you have wagered on the game or event, or if you play fantasy sports, you want to see if you will be the winner or loser.)
