To each his own; personally, I don't watch sports and haven't since I was a much younger man. I consider it a waste of time and, even worse, "bread & circus" to keep the "great unwashed" (us) distracted from the things that really matter - just as the Caesars did in the Roman empire. It wouldn't bother me a bit if they played "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands" at these events - waste of time and money being used to underwrite this nonsense.
