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?

Depends what sport.

For example American Wrestling is obviously scripted, so it can be compared as a theatrical performance.

You have a point, however I would say american football is not the same as watching a movie.

That's not comparable, indeed.

American Football players wear pretty much the same thing kids do when they learn skateboarding.

Rugby is, on the other hand, what I enjoy watching.

but its still not the same as watching a movie with a story.
