its called having fun.   You should try it some time.

At least movies have a narrative :P I've seen The Replacements a couple of times and it's fun enough.

Why should I care about team X "from" state X with mascot X? I mean if sports teams were truly representative of their home states (like Hunger Games) I could probably get more into them. I "played" soccer in high school (mostly from the bench). It was fun enough to actually do, but I never feel a desire to watch others do it. I rowed for a time as well but rowing would be sort of silly to watch if I didn't personally know the people. I had good friends who played volleyball in high school and would enjoy it because I felt some investment because of them. Plus, you know, girls volleyball. Horse racing is something else I can enjoy, when I bet on races. Without some sense of a personal stake, I just don't get it.

Of course Warbler is going to tell me that most of these are not sports, the way he told me wrestling isn't a sport ;P
