CMV: I believe that watching, following and discussing professional sports is a huge waste of time and doesn't benefit a person in any real way.

Just to be clear - I'm not talking about actually playing a sport, which is one of the best ways to stay in shape, socialize, etc. and can be an excellent way for a person to spend some of their free time. What I do think is a huge waste of time is to dedicate hours of your day many times a week to watching other people play a game. Dedicating your time to learning about player's stats, forming an opinion on what the team should do to improve or on why they're doing so poorly (when a person doesn't actually play the sport themselves) gives them nothing when they could be using their time on one of thousands of other hobbies that would be much more constructive for them. Yes, you may become very good at analyzing a game, but unless you actually play this game yourself, it will never have any positive impact on your life at all.

Edit - I have nothing *against* casually watching sports. I just don't get the fanatical dedication some people have. I'm interested in hearing what people have to say about what they get from it. I'm not trying to put anybody's hobby down.

It is a very limiting and sad view of life to assume that 100% of a person's actions must be productive.  It's good to do things because you enjoy them.  Some people enjoy sports, even if they aren't playing them themselves.  And that's cool.
