It's not called "Sports Entertainment", that's WWE. The reason WWE calls itself "Sport Entertainment" is because they are "Performing", NOT COMPETING. Competing is actual Competition, not Scripted Performances with planned outcomes. There's no RANKS, judges, etc. Real Sports has no Pre-determined Winner - Basketball, Football, Soccer, Boxing, MMA, and any sport in the Olympics. All sports are for entertainment, so calling these sports "Sports Entertainment" is Redundant. The only story that matters in these performance awards, is the story IN THE FIGHT, not the build up to it. Because it's just a fuckin Guillotine on a Kickboxer with no ground game who was outwrestled by Francis - who had no ground game. You stop being Racially bias, because Jones is black..
