I don't think so, but my experience with plant virus is mostly limited to what helps me in the garden, so do google if you are really interested.

However, there have been many occasions (just think about the old fashioned broken tulips where virused plants has been thought to be so pretty and desirable that they have been propagated on purpose. This at least is quite similar to how you would normally use a sport, at least if it is a pretty sport!
