Canned crowd noise?

[johneb]

I watched a few NFL games today on the west coast and there were no fans in the stands. The canned crowd noise offended me as much as the fake news I'm force fed.

 

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Yeah, it's pretty stupid and ridiculous.

Don't watch it then, if it's so offensive.
Entertainment has been using canned reactions for decades, it's not anything new.

I am offended that a sports fan would by lumped in with the mindless sitcom watchers : (
How's that for irony?

Maybe they should throw in a laugh track. People seem to accept that as normal.

It seems ridiculous, perhaps on a par with the cardboard people in the stands. On the other hand, though, the crowd noise does seem to me to make the game feel more like a real game.

Consider what it would seem like if the game went on, through critical moments, turnovers, long gainers, a comeback by one team or another...and there was nothing but a few scattered individual shouts being heard.

It would lose something and make the game feel like a scrimmage.

I saw this quarterback from Philadelphia fumble the ball and turn it over to the Cowboys, and he was laughing... So I think to the players, it does feel like a scrimmage.

I like it. I think they should have canned "Amen!" for boring sermons, too.

It's no problem to me, its like playing a sports video game. It's better than having no noise at all during the game. They do that as well to help block out all the explicit language that players yell out.
