TV broadcasts almost always give us up close views right around the ball with no view of the defensive backfield. Between plays, we get an up close view of a player's face through his facemask or an up close view of a few fans in the crowd instead of seeing lineup changes. Some of us are interested in seeing subs replace guys who were on the field for the last play. Who is coming on the field and who is going off the field? TV viewers have no idea because they're shown the color of the head coach's gum between his teeth. Your apparent argument that a view is inherently better because it's a proximity of what is shown on TV is silly. TV sucks for football. I'd much rather have a good shot from above or from one of the end zone's on TV. Also, I admit that I may watch football differently from the average fan. I like to view all 22.
