Few things have the power to unite people quite like organized sports. From the tense
moments before the game starts to the final buzzer, the electrifying atmosphere of it
captivates fans around the world. There is a palpable tension that hangs in the air as a
ball sails through the air, only to shatter as the roaring cheer of the crowd erupts as a
goal is scored. Everything from the players to the music to poorly made hot dogs creates
an energetic camaraderie felt amongst strangers, bonded by their shared passion for the
game. The experience of attending a game transcends mere entertainment. However, for
those who cannot attend in person, there is the art of the sports television broadcast.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Local 695 member Antony Hurd, a Sports
