      The interesting part to me is that you can watch football even when/if you can’t play football, but you could be gaming instead of watching.

        Watching sports is a useful activity when you confined to a hospital bed for a month or two as has happened to people I know. In one case they wouldn’t be allowed to game, even sports were in danger of being too exciting for their condition.

        Logic does not check out. Like they’re both activities I can do on my couch? Okay sure, I guess. Just like I can watch a video about knitting even if I can’t knit, but I could be knitting instead of watching!? Complete nonsense…

      I can only watch so much football as can a rare other people like me. If I am watching football I want the view of one position. I don’t care that the quarterback got sacked on the play, how did the running back avoid the defense in his attempts to become open for a pass - or some such that I want to emulate when I next play. (i think that is a likely thing - I consider football too dangerous to play so I’m guessing - in reality I’d prefer to see other sports that I’m likely to play)

      edit: spelling

        i can’t make heads or tails of this reply :P

        “how did the running back avoid the defense”, i’m assuming there should be a “to” in there? who runs back? i can’t parse it…

          They went with American football, where “running back” and ”defense” refer to positions.

              The game most of the world calls “football” is called “soccer” in the US. We have a very popular game we call “football” in the US that is unrelated to “soccer”, instead it is related to rugby (still very different from rugby, but there is a relation)

                  Welcome to the world. There are strange things all over. Sit back and enjoy laughing at the ride.

        That’s a fascinating way to spell… Presumably “quarterback”?
