Yes, but quite a lot of them also PLAY SPORTS, for fun. ITT people are condemning sports as a whole, not just fans who do nothing but watch.

Strawman. Personally, I'm just talking about fans who do nothing that watch and dethtoll was talking about pro-sports, where most of the involvement comes from fans who do nothing but watch and shovel over huge quantities of cash.

I'm guessing 'insightful' is your word. She's not being serious is she?

Thanks. It was early this morning when I read it and I couldn't be bothered to google her. I expect I've seen some of her stuff before. The article didn't seem to be one thing or the other. If it had been written by a Brit, I'd have taken it as a joke, but I'm never quite sure whether Americans are being serious or not.
