I don't think they do. On the contrary, I think they would love a little controversy. That would probably go for higher ratings. But I don't think they really care. Sports has been known not to cause controversy and sometimes even calm things down. Just look at the World Cup of soccer. There has been many interesting games, like South Korea vs. North Korea, Iran vs. USA, Georgia vs. Russia and the games themselves doesn't cause anything. Maybe something in the stands may happen.
