Why not?
Sports teaches you skills, life lessons.
Doing them, yes for some people.
Watching other people doing sports tells me I should get off my ass and go do something, mainly things I need to do on our property, or do some useful exercising, do things with family. That last one is not easy now, for Covid-19 reasons.
I have got done a lot of things I have been putting off, and it feels good .
I gave up pro and college sports 20 years ago.
Oh I participated in sports in High School and enjoy college sports. Professional sports? Nope. Quite a while back insane amounts of money ruined it for me.
