I don't find watching chess entertaining in the slightest either, so that example doesn't really help me. >It's what happens between those periods of movements

  I feel ya, I felt the same way too. I find chess a bit boring too. Commercials do suck. They do hide some of what is going on in the sidelines and a lot are forced for the TV netwroks. But players standing around the field or walking around because they have nothing to do - the game is not in their court right now. The coaches are making the next play. That is the game. Its coach vs coach. The players don't do anything without the coach directing them. Maybe it would help more if the cameras zoomed into the coaches in a heated battle of what play to run next and the game was advertised or listed as coach v. coach that this match up would be more obvious. It's like the Madden game. The player avatars on the screen are just robots, going through the motions. The actual brains or interesting action is going on with whoever holds the controller. The plays or lines or formations they run and who they put in the game, etc.
