I have no issue with people having fun being active, but being so passionate about how well someone else does, because you're a lazy spectator I can't respect. Meer spectators aren't living.

If it makes them happy and doesn't harm others, what's the foul (disregard the sports pun lol)? Plus, if their spectatorship is one part of an otherwise productive life, how can you claim they're not living?
It does harm others actually. We can't be controlled without the majority being apathetic.
How does a few hours of fun at a sports game make someone completely apathetic towards everything else in life? I think you're making a big presumption here on the basis of a single moment of someone's life.
Ok, this is getting old... You are viewing this with tunnel vision when the point is in the wider field of view. It's not just about football or the limited amount of time they watch a game. It's the mindset.
Sure, but why does the mindset have to matter so much? They have the right to think how they want to think, and if they want to find joy in sports, then that's their prerogative.
You don't have rights, just privilege's
Point taken, unless you manage to live apart from the rest of society, which is generally unfeasible.
I know many who live and breathe sports and never get much deeper anywhere else in life either(too common). It's also about the fact that many of them are blind patriots and make good slaves. Plus more, but this is as far as I go.
If this brings them joy and satisfaction in life, then I'd say they're doing all right. The search to find happiness in life isn't easy for many of us, and we've only got the one shot (as far as we know).
Your opinion noted. I don't care to change it, but I don't respect it
Your priorities are clearly different than others', but that's part of the human condition: we are indeed all different. Different things satisfy different people. It goes against nature to expect everyone to think the same way.
It's about the meathead stereotype.
Eat, sleep, work, eat, flip channels on the tv and repeat.
Sounds all too familiar lol. However, if this makes someone happy, I certainly won't judge them. All people are different, and I've gradually come to accept that.
Well, you are about complimenting and I'm not, so it's unlikely we'll agree on such topics
And to be honest, I think that's ok. I don't expect universal agreement on anything because it's unreasonable based on human nature.
