Specific Problem

The specific problem that is being addressed how technology can be used in the sports industry to satisfy the needs of the sports lovers fully, we can able to see that high-performing athletes are usually not broadcasted at an early age of their career they are not given the same chance as professional athletes. Another problem is presented where the sports lovers who have not gotten the chance to be in the stands where there are a large number of the audience found it very difficult to watch the football performances. This was because of many sports lovers who all wanted to catch a glimpse of the show, and also the ticket were sold at very high prices especially when they were resold. The huge number of funs brought a large number sports lovers made car parking to be quite impossible due to the congestion they brought with them, time-zone of watching the sports games was also a dilemma for many sports lovers because sometimes the games would be played at a time when other sports lovers who were in a different time zone would be greatly inconvenienced by it.

Sports players from other teams would also like in some cases especially when they are traveling to their games, would have preferred to see their fellow friends who had also made it in the world of sports play. Other sports network did not fully highlight what went on in the college sports completely as many would have expected especially when they went on off-screen, they also only showed and highlighted plays that were powerful segments like replays, and the things that went on between the team members were not shown. This meant that viewers were not provided with all the sports information they needed to make sports become much more interesting to them.

Why they are problems

The reason why all these things listed above was a problem was because it denied the sports lovers the ability to fully enjoy the games they went to see both the players and the fans were affected with all these problems in one way or another. Players who were very much talented were not broadcasted early enough so that their talents would be properly nurtured, this was a weakness to the existing sports networks who did those kind of jobs. The problem of overcrowding in the audience had presented itself and people didn’t know what to do when they didn’t get a chance of seeing the games they were eager to watch, a lot of confusion and overspending was present since ticket prices were highly hiked and car parking becomes a very difficult problem to deal with. The time-zone issue that brought a dilemma to the sports made many people discouraged from constantly following their favorite matches, it becomes something which was difficult to address.

Players also wished they could see other players play and by doing so that would have been a great satisfaction to them, the sports networks that already existed did not fully satisfy the needs of the sports lovers since they only showed them things that they thought were relevant to them. They left out many things that made sports fans to connect with their favorite players, they were not capable of fully satisfying the needs of sports lovers as expected from them. They deprived the views of the information they would make them know what fully goes on off and on the pitch. All these things are the reason why I thought that the things discussed were relevant to be termed as a problem which had befallen the sports industry.

Caring about the problems

Yes, the people in this sports industry that is targeted do care about the problems presented to them, that is why they also took an initiative of conducting a survey that showed the number of kids that sign up to participate in sports each season. The survey was conducted by the Athletic Footwear Association, Minnesota Amateur Sports, and the state of Michigan, they brought up the concerns of why kids who were performing highly in sports were not broadcasted at an early age of their amateur career. This showed just how much they cared about the kind of problems that had befallen their sports industry especially when it came to network broadcasting.

The kids are well talented and are performing well at an amateur level will have their talent and skills broadcasted and this will greatly help in nurturing their talents. A proper bond will also be able to be created between the players and their supporters since they will have a chance to fully connect with them due to the channels that exist and allow them to connect with each other, therefore creating a good interpersonal relationship.
