      The first thing you gotta do is define what a sport is, "things that are in the Olympics" isn't good enough.
      yeah, the entertainment part just never needed to be in the name. I mean, HBO shows stuff that's entertaining. so does the Weather Channel, Court TV, PBS, CNN, name a channel, it's going to have something that is entertainment to somebody. now if there were a ton of channels like Watching Paint Dry Network or Counting Blue CarsTV, then I could see putting entertainment in to distinguish you from those channels. bottom line is whatever channel I'm watching I expect to be entertained. but when I watch ESPN I expect sports, even if it's fishing or chess boxing

          what about something like Super Baseball 2020? or those old football/baseball/basketball games for Atari in the mid/early 80's.

                      Per 2020 rules Isaias is trying its best to intensify. Might put shutters up just to be safe.

                          I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                          I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(
