Never really thought about it, have you? Instead of organizing a game and getting the exercise themselves, hundreds of thousands of otherwise normal men sit and watch other men getting the exercise. Worse, the commercialization of sports requires grotesquely oversized guys to the point that we seem to be combining sumo with football. These players are paid huge salaries and contribute absolutely nothing to the nation except a strange spectacle and taxes, I would assume. The only thing more worthless would be golf, maybe.
Compare that to something worthwhile, like serving your country in the combat arms: real achievement, real risk, real courage, small paycheck.. Good guys get protected, bad guys get defeated. Best of all anyone of reasonable physical condition can join and be part of the team. No comparison.
Like I said earlier, what’s the point of watching football unless you like watching other men exercise?
Just because you weren't good at something or didn't like it doesn't mean it's stupid and in need of obsessively resentful criticisms.

Bingo! Another evil of capitalism. It's commercialization rather than U.S. RDA for vitamins and minerals in foods that has caused the surge in physical sizes over the past two generations.

They are entertainers and are paid based on their entertainment value.

Are you suggesting that parents take their 16 year old sons to the local armed forces recruiting office and sign the paperwork to enlist them in the military?

What's the point in watching a movie unless you enjoy watching people play pretend?

...inasmuch as you seem to have some inexplicable hatred for the game bordering on hysteria, what’s the point of attempting to rationally explain my enjoyment in observing the competition...
