Americans love many things, and near the top of any such list of our delights and obsessions are sports and watching television.

The marriage of sports and TV in the mid-20th century was inevitable and brought the drama, thrills, tears, anger, comedy, boastfulness, tribal loyalties and nonsense of competition and talent into our living rooms. It also made a lot of people obscene amounts of money.

As a nation, weve been a hot mess when it comes to sports TV since the pandemic began. Were watching some events and leagues in far fewer numbers while sticking with others. The reasons abound and probably will be debated in the comment section.

The downward sports viewership trend appears to be leveling off, but who knows how itll play out as we exit this historic and tragic era.
