  Professional Wrestling
As late as the 19th Century, wrestling was a respected and even prestigious sport, a favorite among every strata of society, from peasant to President (Abraham Lincoln was an accomplished wrestler; interestingly, so was Donald Rumsfeld).
As wrestling carved out its niche on television (with a few false starts along the way), wrestlers began to emerge as personalities, sometimes becoming stars for reasons almost entirely unrelated to their ability to wrestle per se.
Wrestling had been steadily evolving into a simple morality play — which meant that whenever possible, and especially in high-profile main event matches, the formula was to pit a good and pure wrestler (called a "babyface") against a bad and evil wrestler (known as a "heel").

Wrestling is of course not something to be liked by everyone, or apparently even most people; but a dislike of "sports entertainment" itself is no reason to deprive wrestlers of the recognition they deserve as accomplished and skilled athletes, in addition, no less, to being improve actors and master crowd workers.
