Strange music selections in professional sporting events.

I've never been a fan of pop or other music during play in a sport event. I'll listen to music in my own personal capacity but see no reason for it to be played at professional sporting events. Some music may increase morale in some players & some music, certain players might hate & be upset when it's played which could affect their play. In this case, the game's outcome could be directly affected by the music played during the game. I don't think the music played during sport's matches benefits anyone except to make some background noise hence we get types of music played where there is no market for it; like British pop played at Latin American sports events & pimp rap music from USA played at east European sporting events. Maybe it's for a reason but it makes no sense to me. So if I were to have it my way I'd prefer only notifying sounds made when a goal or point is scored in a game, this would avoid players & referees being distracted during play by sounds which sound like a referee's call, referee's whistle or some other distracting sound. Disappointment (or "womp womp") sounds for failed attempts or misses in a game also affects player morale. I can only vouch for bands that play brass & drum music during a game, again, no whistles to cause confusion in a game from the brass & drum bands either.
