	Spectator sport
		Many online game enthusiasts are convinced that one day soon, pro gaming tournaments will be competing with other minority interest sports on television sports channels, and spectators will pay to watch the elite play.
		Another problem that the professional gamers must face are that “unlike genuine sports that endure through the ages, the games played by the stars of the PGL and other competitive bodies are inherently short-lived—as technology advances, games become outdated and are quickly replaced.
		This high rate of turnover could translate into a turn-off for potential audiences (Fong 1998).” One foreseeable solution is to determine a master not by a single game but rather mastery of an entire genre.

	Sailing's Spectator sport Boat/US Magazine - Find Articles
		The Volvo Ocean Race calls it Virtual Spectator, because you might as well be bolted to the deck of a 70-foot-long extreme sailing machine.
		Data from the boats, including speed, heel angle, weather conditions and even sail sets all combine into an accurate image of what the boat is experiencing at that moment.
		Although Virtual Spectator brings the race to the fans in a way never before possible, the excitement of racing at the bleeding edge, made possible by the design of the Volvo Open 70s, is drawing people who never cared about sailboat racing before.

		For that reason, it's not only our most modern sporting event, it could be the most futurist entertainment now on TV.

		There are always arguments as to which sport is the best way to see live in person but in my opinion, there is absolutely no experience like attending a hockey game.
		If you have never attended a game before, you will be amazed at how much action is actually occuring on the ice surface between the continuous line changes and skating, the hard hitting body checks, the vociferous crowds, and the generally high energy atmosphere.
		Don't get me wrong; other sports like baseball and basketball are fun to attend to, but for excitement maximized, hockey is the ultimate.
