That takes away any real "chance," and wouldn't be enjoyable at all. People might watch others play a video game...and there is a market for that, but that will never replace the actual thing.

Maybe you're right, "fake" football will never be able to replace the real thing. But if the computer generated version is visually indistinguishable from the real thing, I don't see any reason why it can't be in a similar market as WWE. The events are scripted before hand, but fans still won't know what will happen. I think people are more ready to suspend their disbelief for entertainment than you realize.
