.. is arguably the most important sports program on television.
opinions vary, but to me there are NO important sports programs on television. They are entertaining, but missing a game doesn't send my life into a tailspin. And I particularly avoid shows where they simply TALK about the games.
I think the point is being made that these entertainers shooting off their mouths (or maybe their foot) is because they are entertainers. And I include sports and talking heads in that group as well.
We have gotten so wrapped up in entertainment shows and the people who are in them that we even have shows about the shows...
If you make your living playing a game, fine. If you make it talking about people playing games, fine. If you make it pretending to be someone else (acting) that's fine too.
But don't think your success in your chosen field gives you any moral authority to tell me, or anyone else how to live our lives. It does not.
More importantly, wouldn't the most important sports programming on television be the actual...sport? Everything else is just filler.
