The YouTube-ization of Sports

sportsillustrated.cnn.com — The subject of the most-viewed YouTube sports clip of all-time, in a rather boring revelation, is the world's most-popular sport. The video is entitled Comedy Football. It's a montage of soccer bloopers set to Malcolm Arnold's The River Kwai March, and it has been watched 16.8 million times since it was posted on March 5, 2007.

  • inactive, on 08/09/2008, -0/+9Anyone that has ever watched their favorite sport in HD will laugh at the thought of Youtube's crap quality taking over anything.

    Actually it was quite funny
  • inactive, on 08/09/2008, -1/+5This is why, if MMA and other newer sports overtake baseball and football, the NFL and NBA will have no one but themselves to blame. Upload a classic or recent MLB clip to Youtube? The kind of stuff millions of people would see eventually, giving the league free advertising? MLB's legal department has it removed within a few hours. They are absolutely shooting themselves in the foot here... it's not like anyone is paying money to see 10-second baseball clips, they're killing free advertising for no good reason at all.
  • dermoth, on 08/09/2008, -0/+3Are there any sports that you wouldn't watch if they put landmines in the pitch?

    Personally, I think you'd be wasting munitions that would be far better employed on golf courses, but I'm not deluded enough to think anyone cares...

    Football. Most popular sport in the world. Why? Because it's the best. Deal with it.
