| Augen said: I agree that sport viewing is a social event, but generally it is done three ways for me. 1. At the pub 2. At the stadium 3. At a get together Of course I never watch NFL. Or have cable. Or internet. So all this is likely aimed at different viewing habits of a sporting culture (I still have no clue how fantasy sports work) I know next to nothing about. |
It's a great big hobby for many people. I know, some of my family is super into it, and when one of my bro's sees the commercial he is going to start campaigning his wife to get one. He will watch a game on the big screen, and have another TV going with another game.
Fantasy Sports work because you get to pretend to be the greatest coach - from your armchair. You get to make your ultimate team for the year an see how your players do. With what Microsoft is showing, is quick updates too. Say a player gets injured - you might lose them from your team. Conversely, if a player has a few amazing games, they might get upgraded and help your team do better.
It is Huge in the states. Almost as big as coffee is for some people. Have you ever seen a gardener that is really into planning their garden? Or a Stock picker, that goes on an on about their stocks, or a traveler - planning and talking about the places they want to go. It's sort of like that for sports fans. It makes they feel like they are more connected with the game and have more of a passion about it.
If you have ever watch gamblers watch a horse race they have bet on, that's sort of the passion.
