It’s fun to play and complete in your local sportsball league. It’s exercise while being fun. Spectating is fun when watching a sport that you also play. Seeing the pros play is it properly lets you bring something back to your own game. I don’t actually care who wins. That’s tribalism.
Going to a “sports” bar to watch fat people get drunk and place bets makes no sense to me.
I also hate sports trivia. It’s just celebrity trivia but for people to star on the field instead of in movies. If I get asked who won a particular award in a particular sport in a particular year, I would have absolutely no idea. If you aksed me to explain the “infield fly” rule, I’ve got that covered.
And yes, a full 8 minutes of the nightly news covering sports is just insane. I just don’t care.
News and people giving a shit about sports ball.

IMO, this is the most rational stance to have, regarding sportsball.
