I watched the ESPN Espy awards last night and now know why they didn't air live. It's not because of the possibility of someone using foul language or a streaker running across the stage. It's because the audience was bored to death.
Each time an award was given away they would switch to a camera angle showing the back of the presenters, the crowd and the recipients walking to the stage. That in itself is not unusual. What is however, is the fact that the audio you heard sounded like of hundreds of people applauding, the video showed no one in the crowd applauding or cheering, or whistling. They all sat their with their hands in their laps.
This didn't happen just once or twice it happened every time. I'm sure they replay it or you can find some video on YouTube. Check it out for yourself. It took a weeks worth of editing and production to get it ready for airing.
I'll give them credit for Jimmy Kimmel and LeBron James. They were great.
