What to watch on YouTube if you're a sports fan

When I go on YouTube to watch a sports video I first look for footage from the pros or amateurs attempting sport feats. There are 3 main categories in the sports genre that are found on YouTube.

1- Sports Footage from either Pros or Amateurs
2- Sports Interviews or Talk Shows
3- Funny/Entertaining videos loosely related to sports. 

This definition pretty much includes every sports or sports similar videos on YouTube. I don't exclude a video from the sports genre unless it is 100% unrelated. For example a music cover video would not be wrapped up with sports. So no video is a bad video, but there is the video you want to watch. 

In my search, the best sports video I found on YouTube is - Best Sports Videos On YouTube (2014 Edition) This is because it gives a glimpse of all the major sports videos on YouTube in a compilation of footage. It also uses all the biggest channels and their biggest videos to recap 2014. This video would be the best definition of a pure sports genre video. 

On the other side of the spectrum I found Kid struggles to eat a hot dog at baseball game this is not a pure sports video. It was tagged a sports video but has very little to do with sports. This isn't a bad video it's just not the video I want to watch when I search sports. So, even though it's not a bad video but it's a bad match for the search.
