Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2638003, member: 716"] Never thought about the 'why' but here goes: 1) It's watching, not doing. And that's lame. (Yeah, the same could be said for sports.) 2) It's a worthless activity that doesn't offer opportunities to appreciate excellence. (That's where it differs from sports.) I guess I don't 'get' video games. I think it's also silly to watch people playing cards (though I kind of like playing cards) and bowl (which I don't participate in but I don't mind, either). And the other night when the All Star game started, ESPN aired some weird competition cornhole broadcast. That falls into that category as well. I don't watch golf, but I get why people do. It's fun to watch professionals attempting excellence, and it's also instructional for those who golf on their own. [/QUOTE]
