How do people enjoy spectator sports? I have never understood this. Watching football is [i]boring[/i]. Watching soccer is [i]boring[/i]. It's not limited to meatheads and it's not an American phenomenon... People around the world love watching spectator sports, and I don't understand why.
To me, it's just as boring as watching someone play a video game. If you're not involved in the action, you're literally just sitting on your ass and watching other people play.
[b]EDIT[/b]: I do enjoy athletic activity. (Although I'm pretty out of shape at the moment, so I haven't been doing much of it lately.) I ran track in high school and I used to enjoy real-life games of basketball, flag football, and capture the flag. I just don't understand the appeal of [i]watching[/i] other people play sports and having absolutely no input yourself.

Yeah is understand spectating a sport is boring, it's only worth it if you get to play.
-
It's like spectating anything, you have to be into it.
-
Everything but football for me
-
I played sports all throughout school, football, soccer, volleyball, etc. But I agree, I find them very boring to watch.
-
Ur boring
-
Free food and drinks. Quality time with friends and family. Even if you don't like sports, its still fun to be a functioning family member.
-
Watching [i][b]football[/b][/i] (soccer) isn't boring when the players play well.
-
I enjoy some sports however football and basketball I couldn't care less for
-
if you actually play those sports, it can be enjoyable from a learning standpoint to see how they do it, and it is also just a marvel to watch people perform at that level. i play the piano, but even though i have no input, i would enjoy going and "spectating" while a symphony played some of tchaikovsky's pieces.
-
I enjoy watching Hockey, Olympic Volleyball, [i]some[/i] football, and exciting games of Soccer/Futbol. I cant stand baseball, basketball, anything like that. Dont even get me started on golf
-
Speed ball would be fun to watch and handball is that or if was a bunch of Korean and swedish girls playing against each other
-
Men in tights playing with balls. My favorite
-
I love watching baseball so intense
-
They say people get an endorphin flow like the people actually playing.
-
The only sport I can watch without getting bored is Tennis. Rugby on occasion, billiards too. Honestly though, I'd much rather play any sport rather than watch it.
-
I only like watching them live and in person. I hate watching them on the TV. It's like C-SPAN.
