1) Fewer traffic jams.

2) Crime will go down -- many professional athletes seem to lack the
ability to stay out of trouble.  And what gets into the papers is probably
the tip of the iceberg; team owners and personal lawyers probably keep a
lot of what the players do out of the news.

3) Newspapers and broadcasters would have more time to fill.  Sometimes,
they would accidentally fill the empty space with real news.

4) Some sportswriters would be forced into more honest employment --like
professional wrestling.
