For some, the true excitement of the game can only be properly experienced in person. Others contest that there are too many hassles that come along with attending live sporting events and would rather consume professional sports in the comfort of their own home. The benefits of both positions will be analyzed before a preference is shared.<br \/>\nFirstly, many prefer to attend athletic events in person to allow themselves to participate in the spectacle. For example, while visiting England, it became apparent to me that English sporting spectators take pride in participating as much as they can in professional football. Those unable to get tickets to games watch them in public places, such as at a pub. Thus to many, watching sports is a very social pastime and best experienced at the place where the match is unfolding .<\/p>\n<p>However, the above view is not universally true. Many people counter thatthe most rewarding way to consume professional sports is to do so from the comfort of one\u2019s own home. For instance, it is much more common for North American baseball fans to tune in to games via radio or television than to attend these events in person. For most of these people, the hassle and daunting price of tickets is enough to put them off attending entirely. From this point of view, the merits of watching professional sporting competitions from one\u2019s own home can be seen.<br \/>\nAlthough both sides of this discussion contain indisputable virtues, I feel that tuning in to sporting events from home is a much more convenient way to experience a professional game. That said, it must be assumed that personal preference will always rule when it comes to deciding in what manner one should digest sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The manner in which people consume professional sports varies greatly from one person to another.
