The Excitement and Fun that comes with Watching SPORTS
Sports in its nature is hundred percent fun and all about excitements. As time went on, people now realized that sports could be monetized and made more profitable to the sportsmen/ sportswomen or participants. As a result, all the various sports; football, golf, rugby, table tennis, lawn tennis, basketball, swimming and the rest of them became more organized and made competitive at the international, national, state and local levels.
Through these developments around sports, people could now make a living from playing whatever games they are proficient at. International and professional bodies like FIFA, UEFA came into being to aid in the organization of sports. Football for example now became a profession and people who play football were no longer being regarded as irresponsible persons. Being a footballer or basketballer is now a thing of pride.
Back to the matter, being a spectator in the stadium or watching these players play their games on the television also brings so much excitement. Sometimes, people ask me or others who go to watch games questions like; "why do you enjoy watching football?", "why do people shout, argue and complain while watching games?" Truth is I don't have the answer but all I can say is that we just have this spirit of excitement while watching games; there's this connection you get with the players when you watch them play.
You'll not know these things or have these experiences until you start watching games. Also, it is an opportunity to just have fun and forget about all worries and problems and just be happy. It's a time to relax from work or family stress. People get to say and do a lot of funny stuffs at public viewing centers. And be certain to hear a lot of arguments from people about a particular player.
Another thing that makes me enjoy watching football with other people is the banter that usually ensues. Like yesterday when Paris St Germain hosted Manchester United, I wanted Manchester United to lose so I could banter my brother who is a United fan. And today, I'm pretty sure my brother will banter me during the Liverpool FC and Ajax game. I am a Liverpool FC fan for the records. I usually enjoy the banter between fans of different clubs.
These arguments are what I usually don't commend because to me it's simply a waste of energy and time. I mean why argue, shout and fight over people that don't even know you exist. On the whole, it's usually fun-filled watching a game with a crowd of persons. It's quite different from watching at home, alone. I'm fact, many persons leave their televisions at home to join others at viewing centers. This is so because the fun and excitement that accompanies the latter is unexplained and sweet.
If you are one that doesn't pleasure in watching sports, you really do need to give it a shot cause it's rewarding. If you have read to this point, share how you feel when watching sports alone and when watching with others.
Depends with who you are watching as I know many don't know the rules and become irritating after a while. I obviously prefer to watch it live at the stadiums or at home as in bars you miss out on so much.
Yeah! If you are watching with a boring person or who doesn't really know much about the particular sports then it will be boring. But I prefer watching with folks at viewing centers than being at the stadium.
