My wife and I were discussing sports and how we don't really enjoy them, and she proposed the assertion that watching sports and watching a movie are not really all that different. What do you guys think?

There are many forms of entertainment, and everyone has their preferences. If you play the sport yourself, or know someone who does then it goes a long way towards help you enjoy watching the sport, but it's still essentially entertainment. Unless you gamble, that's a whole different thing.

I would suggest there are many things, such as movies and sports, that are considered entertainment but that are not similar beyond the spectator aspect. Is a novel entertainment? Certainly, but the experience of reading the book vs. watching that book as a movie are vastly different.
