If you are not doing it, participating in it, it’s not sports.

What is called sports now on TV, MSM is a lie.

It isn’t sports, it’s a selling vehicle. It instructs and even demands physical passivity from the fans. What kind of sports is that?

Even your racing. It isn’t about the track, the cars, or even the race. It’s about you. It is internal. It is about self discovery, team mates. That is sports. Not this selling/buying orgy on a flat piece of glass, which is a sales job, a lie, a fake thing telling you fake sincerity as if you are with them, as if you are on the track, the field. You, me, we are not.

Doing is sport. Watching is watching. Sitting is sitting.

I actually find pro sports insulting. When you consider how much better, even if done badly, any activity is, and they they ‘sell’ me that me sitting there, passively, buying their overpriced, made in China crap is ‘really great’ and that I am supposed to feel special that I over paid to sit on plastic. Please.
