> Sport: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
A few observations:
1. Exertion is an unavoidable part of the human condition. Golf is a sport. Axe throwing, sport. Nascar/f1, sports.
2. Competition. Competing to some feels like fighting and has negative connotations. I don’t compete much, but having competed countless times in my life. 99.9%, it’s been in the spirit of entertainment and not judgment
3. Entertainment.
Do i despise sports? I could rephrase to: do i despise competition based entertainment? Answer, no, i cherish it. My guess OP is that you—like me—don’t like conventional sports in your country? Baseball football … snoozefest! Surely there is SOME sporting you cherish. I’m into cycling, the disc/frisbee games. Replace sport with “hobby” and ask “is there a competitive hobby im into?” Maybe on ESPN “The Ocho”? eSports? …competitive puzzles?
