I never understood the hype of watching sports just for the sake of it. If you’re not betting money or emotionally invested in a team, what’s the point? I’d rather watch a good movie or do something productive than spend hours watching people chase a ball. I’ve been a football fan and love playing football, but when my friends start debating and talking about teams and players, it just feels so pointless. Like, why are we arguing over people who don’t even know we exist? I’d rather be on the field playing than wasting time discussing stats and transfers

maybe you like the sport and seeing people play at the highest level is entertaining
Enjoyment.
Addicted much?
Horrific take. It’s called enjoyment. Watching sports is also a great excuse to relax and unwind
Sound like me when I was a gambling addict. Haven’t gambled in years and sports are way better now. Can just watch them for fun.
I agree. To hell with my sons Tee ball game, theres bread to be made
Wow we are doomed
You might be a degenerate gambler if…
I thought men watch football and baseball to watch men in tights handling balls.
That is absolutely…unpopular
All entertainment = a waste of time
Betting = a waste of money
Don’t combine the two. If sports are not entertaining enough on their own to you, the risk of losing money should only make it worse, not better. The odds are established for you to always lose if you bet regularly.
Instead OP prefers wasting time debating how bets makes sports better with some Internet strangers. You do you, I guess.
Oh my god people who think like this are so tiring. Nothing you like was created by someone who cares about your existence. Hell even if you like animals theres billions of them that do not care about you.

Not watching sports because it can be considered boring is more popular of an opinion than you would think. But because you’re not gambling??? 😬
Call the number.
No, it isn’t. Im a HUGE sports fan and the thought of losing $$ that I work so hard for doesn’t even come in to “play” for me.
Then watching sports and betting would be a waste of time and money.
Lots of stuff in life is ultimately pointless. Doesn’t mean you can’t derive joy from it anyway. In fact, it’s imperative that you try. Otherwise life’s sad and empty.
I enjoy watching sports because I enjoy the sport itself.
I gamble on sports to make money. Gambling isn’t fun at all.
You might be an addict.
