The characteristics of the spots with sporting contents allow us to know the communication strategies of the advertisers, publicists, and TV media. Moreover, the characteristics of the sports, sportspeople, and sporting spots not only show us the strategies of the publicists but also reflects the scenes, models and sporting habits more accepted in the Spanish society. As Moragas said “The moral values of sport are expressed in the mass media, and the moral values of the society are expressed in the sport.
