Television changes the color of sports
- Tennis balls are greenish-yellow, technically that color is called optical. But for a long time, most of the balls were white.
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
In 1972, the International Tennis Federation decided to change the color, as the ball did not differ well in colour television. But the change wasn't immediate. It took the tenacious organizers of the Wimbledon tournament 14 years to get commissioned by the Wimbledon Federation.
The colors of the Basque ball changed later, in the 1990s, when television broadcasts became common. Television not only called for black balls to be touched, but it also called for the color of the pediment to be changed, and since then many of the frontons that will never come out have been painted green.
