One of the reasons we like watching sporting events in a live environment is that we can share in the banter with our friends, and give our expert opinion on the incredible try, amazing catch, or mind-blowing free kick.
If you are an avid sports fanatic as I am and missed a match for whatever reason, you might occasionally play catch up and watch the replay within a few days of the event; less commonly would you watch the match a month or two after it had taken place. The world keeps moving and the conversation moves on quickly, so talking about a match that happened two months ago is ‘ancient history� …unless your team just won the world cup for the fourth time, in which case it never gets old! Otherwise, something new has already happened and captured everyone’s attention.
