Sport is what happens when a game is taken too seriously.
Games are fun to watch occasionally but get dull if you aren't actually playing them.
Just as a PS - Shouting at a TV has no effect on the game that you're viewing...

@Thodsis Our Mam used to shout at the telly, but not by anything on the football pitch as she watched for the play not the team or result. Instead it was at the inane things the "experts" say afterwards.
If one came out with something like, "Well, he is nearly twenty-eight"", Mam would exclaim, "Poor old man!".
She played hockey at well past that age, and tennis and badminton into late middle-age, at amateur club level. While many outdoor-pursuits enthusiasts (cavers, climbers, walkers, sailors, divers, etc.) are active in their 70s and even 80s.
