On the other hand, it could cause real mischief– and I expect it eventually may even be banned. Image the scene at a bar, TV tuned to the World Series, bottom of the 9th, 2 out bases loaded, the crowd in the bar glued to the action when….off goes the TV. The crowd at the bar goes bananas. Staff put the TV on again. Off it goes again…..
