To a great degree, sports has become a soap opera rather than what it should be. You can argue that the media dumbs down the public or that it's the other way around. I guess those debates will go on till the end of time. Still, sports have undoubtedly been Oprahized, that's for sure.

Look at the sillyness in country music; sports and other forms of entertainment seem to be following the WWF/Springer model to draw fan$. It's getting harder to tell when it's fake.
