Especially sports that the enjoyment of which can be very unique and personal such as surfing, climbing, fishing etc, an industry that try's to define success and commercialise the sport is going to have widespread criticism among the recreational crowd.

If you're going to make sporting shows then being in bed with sponsors is a requirement, I get that... It still doesn't mean that the viewer is required to like it. What it does mean is that you are going to have critics, and you should probably get used to it rather than let it ruffle your feathers.

No feathers ruffled here partner, just trying to provide insight to those that might not know better
