Spectator sports appeal to men's naturally competitive nature and camaraderie and divert them into an unhealthy, time wasting hobby that idolizes and makes other men rich. Those inclinations led men to build nations, explore new lands, and invent countless marvels in times past. Society will be so much better off as a whole if we shake these fleas!

This. And spending time with their families and teaching their kids. Its amazing how many families that did nothing but watch sports and play sports are now spending their days and nights actually talking to each other. Racing kids from activity to activity was a convenient and stressful way to let parents off from talking with their kids
