I remember a conversation I was having with a professor of mine who couldn't stand sports and thought of them as akin to religion. He was going on and on about how pointless they are and wondered why anyone would waste a minute of their time following them, then after a 15 minute rant asked me why I watched them. I simply said "it's a way to connect with people." He was speechless for awhile and I think in the middle of experiencing an epiphany. Those moments were the biggest confirming factor for me why I enjoy sports, can afford to devote time following sports, and why they are important and useful.
