I think its human nature to come up with games that test physical or mental acumen through competition.
I find sports to be a leisurely and social activity. Also I highly doubt that even if you dedicated all your time to it, that you could be a professional athlete. These men are supremely talented and there are hundreds of thousands of kids trying to grow up to be pro athletes.
Sports is an outlet, it gives people a team to root for and an identity to associate with. One can never be wrong for rooting for his team. With sports, we can pretend to be sure and bullshit with no real consequences. I can say, this guy sucks bla bla bla with full confidence even though I might be wrong. In politics, I can tell you that this policy will work but in reality it might not. Hell for example, I argued for the invasion of Iraq at the time but I was wrong.
As far as people who don't like sports, there's plenty of them and there's nothing wrong with that. Some of my friends do, some of them don't.
