"Only armchair fans..."!! How can you say that, piewoman? How do you know? It's very presumptuous of you.
Does it spoil the game for you seeing close ups of the players or watching the goals and tackles from different angles? You see it on MOTD, SKY and BT Sport don't you? The TV companies don't do it just to spoil the game for the viewer, you know, and it's not a matter of "need" either, it's what some people want, not "only armchair fans that never go to games", some can't attend for various reasons.
