The interesting part to me is that you can watch football even when/if you can’t play football, but you could be gaming instead of watching.

You’re taking too long to do the dishes.

Watching sports is a useful activity when you confined to a hospital bed for a month or two as has happened to people I know. In one case they wouldn’t be allowed to game, even sports were in danger of being too exciting for their condition.

Logic does not check out. Like they’re both activities I can do on my couch? Okay sure, I guess. Just like I can watch a video about knitting even if I can’t knit, but I could be knitting instead of watching!? Complete nonsense…

I can only watch so much football as can a rare other people like me. If I am watching football I want the view of one position. I don’t care that the quarterback got sacked on the play, how did the running back avoid the defense in his attempts to become open for a pass - or some such that I want to emulate when I next play. (i think that is a likely thing - I consider football too dangerous to play so I’m guessing - in reality I’d prefer to see other sports that I’m likely to play)

edit: spelling

i can’t make heads or tails of this reply :P

“how did the running back avoid the defense”, i’m assuming there should be a “to” in there? who runs back? i can’t parse it…

They went with American football, where “running back” and ”defense” refer to positions.

That’s a fascinating way to spell… Presumably “quarterback”?
