Television Has Helped Professional Sport Immensely It Has Allowed Millions Of Dollars In Advertising Be Spent On Sports That Otherwise May Never Have Got Them D class=

Sagot :

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I completely agree with the idea that Television has helped professional sport immensely. It has allowed millions of dollars in advertising to be spent on sports that otherwise may never have got them.

There are many corporations that have signed millionaire contracts to put their names on the uniform of the athletes or to sponsor the sports season, even to buy an advertisement in the stadiums or arenas, because they know that their contests or seasons are broadcasted through television.

The most notorious examples are professional football (NFL), professional basketball (NBA), pro baseball (MLB), pro hockey (NHL), and pro soccer (MLS).

Just to give an example, the sports network ESPN pays the NFL the incredible sum of $1.9 billion per season to broadcast its football games. It is said that pro sports is a ge¿reat business and this number confirms the statement.
