[Kevdude]

Why does anybody find watching them entertaining?

:D I completely agree with you sure playing is fun, but watching? NO

[SkullCandy]

The adrenaline-pumping action can satisfy people's unusual needs. Plus you get a lot of money.

[Messes]

They sure are not fun for me to watch by any means, even if it's like the World cup or superbowl.

Only playing for yourself is fun

[Placid]

1. some sports are fun to play for some people - just like people asking why shooting people in a game is fun
2. "exercise high" - they get "high" on the exercise they get from the sport. it's a weird feeling that is sort of like an adrenaline rush, i had it a few times before.

ninja: forget, watching?
edit: they like to take pride in the fact that they live in a town that has a winning team and that "they" are breeding good sports teams even though they have nothing to do with it. i find some sports fun to watch.

I play Soccer but I do ask this question myself.
I personally can't stand watching sports but enjoy playing a select few.

For me, it's outdoors. It's movement. A team with similar goals. Bleeding & determination.

I guess anyway.

Sorry about the edit

I think it's fun to watch people box so I don't get my own teeth knocked out.

I only watch the Olympics and world cup and stuff just to see my favorite countries do better.

[Messes]

Oh i change what I said, the only sport I like watching is stuff like UFC and anything that involves fighting.

That's cool

[Sheath]

Yah watching it is boring as hell.

Because its fun to follow a sports team and you get adrenaline from watching them and the rush on certain games is awesome
Like imagine if you went to a game like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Gd7TDkY8w&feature=related
The announcer yelling the crowd going bananas and the players celebrating on the court. That give me goosebumps everytime I see it :P

My dad said that sports were "cool" and that I should imagine myself doing what they do. I told him that was both douchey and depressing. Why would I like to imagine doing something pointless

I guess it's because I lack empathy

Damn I'd never hang around someone like you. Its not pointless lol. It build strength, endurance, and even social skills. You're too boring.

That's not what pro-athletes do. They become unnaturally muscular and do pointless stuff.
And how am I boring? I find it more interesting to play with stuff I found on the side of the street than play a sport
