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.
