When are we going to make programming a televised sport

I have a vision of a future where programmers compete in televised events like athletes.  This future is similar to present day South Korea and their televised startcraft competitions.  I want to watch a show that alternates between showing source code and then programmers writing it.  I imagine these athletes (programmers) would be sponsored by companies like starbucks and logitech. 

A sign of a programmer athlete is a mighty clicker muscle.  The clicker muscle is the one that flexes whenever you click your mouse.

Do you have any ideas for other geeky challenges that could be televised?
