I played at a pretty high level so I'd say, for athletes, of any age, it's about reaching goals, taking direction and learning to win and, more importantly, lose. The idea of youth sports leagues not keeping score is so wrong in so many ways.
For the general public I think the idea of not knowing the outcome is unique to anything that could be considered entertainment. The purest form of drama. And with professional sports, when you're watching athletes at the peak of human performance I think that's a real draw. Humans have always wanted to go farther, faster, higher, etc. Sports is a gauge for that.
Least favorite thing is how people go way over the top when it comes to professional sports. They identify with teams and players in a way that's a little bizarre to me. I think they need to remember that they're passive observers.
I also think that ticket prices for professional sports is horrific. My heart always breaks for the young kids who live to compete but have no chance of seeing professionals play in person.
