Show me athletic competition and I'm there. Damn near anything except soccer (most boring shit ever).
But if there's drinks, food, and other people watching, you can even get me to sit through a soccer match.
If you are content to just view sports at the most simplistic face value, then sure. Your take is adequate. But if you consider the preparation, strategy and effort put forth by each side, then you're suddenly viewing something deeper. "Man vs man" is one of the most prominent forms of conflict in all storytelling, and you're able to witness it play out on a public stage. Each competitor is their own person with their own personal hurdles and lives outside of their given sport. And yet there they are striving towards a common goal (however trivial you may find it to be). If you follow a team or specific athlete for any period of time you may find yourself curiously invested in whether or not they succeed. The personalities you like become the ones you root for. Look a little deeper and you might find you're caught up in something bigger than yourself, and you may just enjoy it. Find some friends that also enjoy it, and feel the camaraderie during the highs and lows of a season.
Or don't
