I agree that just watching a random sport or 2 random teams can be boring. It becomes interesting when you feel a connection to the team or athlete. If you go and watch live, it also becomes a community thing.

Personally, I used to train football (soccer) in my local team in a small town and everyone basically knew all the players.

Football becomes more interesting when you throw a beer can at a player, who also works at a pizzeria, and he takes a sip and throws it back.

It’s a workout for your CPU. It will make it grow big and strong.
