It's not the same. Sports on tv have a lot of boring down time that a movie doesn't. They have commercials, time-outs, video reviews, more commercials and sometimes singing & dancing. For me to watch a game, I have to be doing other things as well, like cooking, going online, chatting with friends, drinking at a bar, etc. When I watch a movie, I don't want a bunch of distractions. I don't want to have to keep backing it up because I missed dialogue. If I'm watching a game and miss something important, it doesn't matter because they'll replay it again and again.
