RE: The Real Sports Network: A hypothetical scenario
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Every single player would be mic'd up for the entire game
They tried this once with XFL and it was terrible. As it turns out our sport heroes are kind of not so intelligible :) Gradually, as that disastrously bad first and only season came to a close most of the mics were switched off so that only the coaches and quarterbacks could be heard. The other problem was that the grunting and what not was mic overload at every snap. The audio team was probably very busy with the live broadcast especially since they swear a lot on the field and that is frowned upon with prime time TV.
It's a nice concept for some sports I suppose, but certainly not all.

Those are some really good points. If it were a premium service you wouldn't need to worry about editing out the swear words. I can see the grunting being annoying though.
