Every year when the sports season comes fans look forward to watching their favorite team play the game they love, on what has come to be the most easy, convenient way to see them play: on the television! What if one didn’t have that shiny new television sitting in your living room? It makes people wonder, where did it all get started? Who invented all of the fun games we play now and how did they appear on the TV?

Many TV stations and channels cover the major sports events; some have even devoted their entire programming to one or two sports. ESPN has had its own network for twenty-five years and its still going! FOX presents all different varieties of shows as well as its own sports networks, including MSG or Madison Square Garden. Even the very popular baseball team the Yankees have their own channel call the YES Network. It is brand new and has been going for almost two years now.

So why waste time watching sports on TV? First of all, it's free! Second of all, one gets the best view, and from many different angles! Any snack wanted is just a few steps to the refrigerator, and all the background information wanted is straight from the commentators. Plus, it's impossible to get a sunburn sitting in the living room!
