WATCHING = BORING
Who care's what people you don't know do!
PLAYING = FUN
Doing anything physical that takes skill and effort is fun, whether it's competitive or not, so long as it challenges oneself!
GAMING = FUN
Video games are fun because there are clearly defined goals which require skill to achieve. Playing against the computer, yourself, or others is still a challenge, and surmounting challenges are always fun.
THEORIES
A. MANY people fake enjoying watching sport to be able to bond / be closer to others that they believe enjoy watching sport.
B. People also fake it from peer pressure or because they think it's normal to.
C. People enjoy watching sports because it distracts them from their own lives and routing for a team means when the team succeeds, vicariously they themselves feel like they've achieved something, and in their lives this happens too seldom, so they take what victories they can.
SUMMARY
Why would watching strangers have fun be fun... I don't think it intrinsically is. We have to fool ourselves.
Is it normal that i dont give a shit about the olympics ?
