World Cup

Due to the ugly weather, I spent a great deal of time watching the World Cup on ESPN. I love the world cup, but I'd much rather be out and about enjoying a warm, sunny weekend.

As we discussed video conferencing, experimented with Skype, etcetera....it dawned on me that EVERY sporting event uses some form of video conferencing. Whether it's the sideline reporter, pre/post game comments, mic'd coaches or players....we just don't realize the extent this technology has aided our simple pleasures unless we focus.

Add to that the fact we can watch most of our favorite sporting events on a computer, a phone, or simply view it on TV. We can also listen on radio, a computer, or via satellite radio.

Amazingly, people's passion for this sport hasn't really changed that much over the 100+ years of this amazing event.
