It is not odious if the "end user" (the home audience) knows the audio has been added later - in which case what they are watching is a highlight show. We get this every night on SportsCenter. When it is not obvious to the audience, and the telecast is being sold as coverage of a sports event, then it is deceptive and manipulative. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
