2020 SEASON SUSPENDED

[LP]

I saw on Ch7 news last night the broadcasters are going to add canned crowd noise to the telecast when footy resumes. >  > 

They've been using it in NRL for decades, the NRL will probably be ahead of many other sports in broadcast quality when things resume for this reason alone.
It's sounds dumb, but I bet the AFLPA are right behind this idea. Have you watched much crowd-less sport/games? All it does is highlight the poor skills, because there is no longer a perception of pressure or intensity, sports look pedestrian and players look like Gumbys. The sound and crowd feedback glosses over many evils.

I wonder if leaving it as-is, sound and experience free, could actually be good for the sport, to help cut the wheat from the chaff and let really skilled footballers get a run ahead of robotic athletes!
