There is this difference, though. Sports (presumably) is not a pre-written 
script like a film. It's something which is not predetermined, gambling 
scandals aside. Sports is a live, happening event, much like the New Year's 
Eve event in Times Square was a live, happening event. Both weren't hard news 
and some might consider both "entertainment," which is a rather loose-fitting 
term.
