What's the big deal with sports on tv?

I've realized that I really don't like watching sports on tv. Seriously. I like playing some sports sometimes. But even then, I get too competitive. So, it's better for me if I play only for fun! For example, this semester I had to take two kinesiology classes, so I took tai chi and racquetball!! I had so much fun! There was no pressure to win (at racquetball, tai chi isn't competitive!! hehehe) and I loved it.
I will however watch the big games like the superbowl or the basketball championship game, only for social reasons though. It's fun to watch them with friends, but just to sit down and watch a game on tv is not my idea of a great way to pass the time.
Final note, I do like to watch sport games in person, if someone I know is playing! Like when the kids I babysit play in their games, or when Brent used to play.
Ok, I'm done.
