[quote=GIWREH,609175]I personaly do not feel attracted at all WATCHING sports....  I like being sportive, so I'm DOING some sports.  It's about my body, it's not about cultivating weird emotional tribal feelings ... That is exactly what spectator sports are all about in 90% of cases. Almost 100% when considering the team sports.  Football then, COULD be a sport to do yourself (but you need a team), for the matter of your own body-feelings. But football exists (and most other high end team sports as well) by the grace of that primitive TRIBAL feelings of the crowd.  It's sublimated into war between 2 tribes, and the rules tell you, that it's a war without real killing...  [mood9] Except in some cases, when the HOOLIGANS (= tribal warrior-heads...) destroy, injure and (it happened..) kill each other for the sake for the "holy sport". Football has been and continues to b the most violent of all team sports environments, worldwide.  Sociologists say that it's probably due to the high level of violent attack on the field as well. (Referees yellow card, red card... = when violent actions/attack occures on the field, and it's COMMON fair !) And, possibly some historic reasons on top, being (in many countries) cheaper to attend then with other sports, so collectively considered "peoples" (lower classes) spectator's sport by excellence.  COULD football be played in 100% fairplay ?? (= never a yellow or red card needed) Perhaps it could...but a +100 years history shows us, that it still does not ! Football is culminising (alas, and registered by factual 100 years history) all that goes wrong with team sports and their tribal-war primitivity.  
So... Why do so many boys and girls like soccer ? >> Because so many boys and girls thrive in violent tribal feelings....  
It has NOTHING AT ALL to do with health, personal fitness, friendship, ... it's downright the opposite.  
The ONLY exception could be the amateur, low grade football players, who do it themselves for fun, and do not even have spectators other then boyfriend/girlfriend who is waiting at the sideline with the sandwiches....

Back to starters : Sport is what I do. Not what I look at. Sport = becoming more healthy and building friendships, not starting tribal wars...[/quote]
