I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

I just don't understand...Unlike most of the posts here I'm not going to rant about the things I don't like I'm just going to spout about something I simply don't understand why it exists at all:
Sports News.
Why does it exist?
A section on the news dedicated to telling you the results of sporting events....
Who's the target audience?
Either:
A) You're interested in which case either you'll have watched the event, or won't want to know the result until you've watched it, so they prefix the announcement with "If you don't want to know the result look away now". What other program tells there EXACT TARGET AUDIENCE TO TURN OFF!
or
B) You don't give a monkies.
Either way why bother dedicating upto 25% of the news slot to it? Is there really nothing better to be reporting on in that time.
It strikes me that it's probably just spite on behalf of the news channel that they didn't get the rights to broadcast the full event. If that is the case it'd be far more entertaining to actually say that - "Now because those fuckers over at sky have go the rights here are the results, see you don't need to subscribe now do you"

Who says you can't be interested and unable (or even unwilling) to watch the event?I imagine there's quite a lot of cases where you either can't be bothered to see the actual event or you forgot about it/forgot to tape it etc. and still would like to know the results

HmmIt's called gambling. Results can have significance without any emotional attachment to watch the event.
