However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high­priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry
