Sports in 3D, What is Next?

So if u didn't like seeing the seat on peoples' faces or the brand of underwear they are wearing while watching HD television, or even if you did, it gets better. ESPN plans on unveiling their new 3D, yes like the movies, channel for sporting events this summer. The first sporting event they plan on showing in 3D is the World Cup.

Now if you're not too experience at watching soccer, you need to know that these people take soccer more serious than any American takes football, basketball, and baseball combined. Its almost a given that someone in the stands is going to the hospital from a fight breaking out in the stands. Not only that, its not out of the norm for beer bottles (after they've been drank of course) too be thrown on the field, at players, coaches, referees, ect..

Although I have only seen one 3D movie (A Christmas Charol), I'm not exactly looking to watch soccer balls/beer bottles to fly out of my TV at me, it just doesn't seem like that would make the game more enjoyable. I mean, when HD came out, I ignorantly said "What so special about it, I bet you can't even tell the difference", and oh how wrong I was. I've fallen in love with HD games, although I haven't guilted my parents into that one yet, its a work in progress. But anyway just like about anything else, I'll give 3D sports a chance but I just don't see myself paying extra to get a channel that I would have to wear some goofy ass glasses to watch, shouldn't they pay you to do that.

My next thought is what can they possibly come up with next? We've went from, well my parents have, adjusting an antenna from 3 different channels, having the 'little brother' change the channel on the TV, to a basic cable package of 30 some channels, to about 70 some channels, to up to like 1000 channels, HD television that requires a new TV, and now 3D that also will require a TV which is probably why I think 3D sports will catch on, especially in the economy we're in and the insane price of TVs already.

That's my thoughts on this possible future craze, so for now, I'm out.......
