#5 I read a while back that there has been a lack of decorum in the stands at even the highly rated tournaments, but much of it is the fault of promoters who want to "popularize" the sport. They want box office, and are less concerned about tradition.

#7 First off, I love golf.

That said, golf and tennis make a big deal about absolute quiet so they can concentrate. Last time I looked shooting free throws or batting take at least as much concentration. How can BBallers (both kinds) do it in the din?

Basketball and baseball players get paid regardless of whether they 'clank' a basket or swing a strike (yeah, I know - unless their stats get too low or they have a performance clause...).
