Do thing appear blurred when you move your eyes. Of course not. The reason for that is that we do not move our eyes, we dart our eyes. "I reject the concept that sports should be shown blurred to imply action" I guess you'll need to stop watching sports altogether, then Larry, because zoom lenses, rapid trucking shots alongside and overhead sky cam views of the action are also not natural to the eye, and there's lots of blurring in sports coverage. Maybe by your mind it shouldn't be, but then my career was in TV and film, and I'm a junkie for that stuff. I was wall to wall Tour de France, and marveled at the tech accomplishment they wrought.
