Sports in general, I just don't get it, why would you want to watch a bunch of dudes run around playing a game you could just go outside and play yourself?
Why would you ever want to read when you could just write a book yourself?
You make a good point, I still just don't get it.
So, for clarity, i am just talking about American Football, as that is the only sport I enjoy watching.
It is an incredibly complex game, with intricate rules and strategies.
It is like playing a game of human chess, but without standardized pieces, i.e. you might have a pawn that is faster, or stronger, that your opponents pawn, but is worse at running routes, or, more hotheaded, and likely to get penalties, than your opponents pawn.
How do you maximize the value of your pawn?
Additionally, you have a limited amount of cap space to pay for each piece on the board. Would you rather pay for a really mobile quarterback, or a great offensive line?
It is a really intricate game, one that i have no interest in playing, but there is a great deal of thought that goes into it.
I would not be a good NFL coach, but I like watching the good ones coach players into winning, because, usually, the coaches that win do not have the best players. They have the best strategic minds.
+1 for sports
