Why do men get so crazy about sport?

Question

It's not rocket science!

The way they dramatise big sporting events in the media you would think someone found a cure for cancer - they make heroes out of these guys that play sport!

Seriously, it's sport! And it's MEN in sport - Women don't get nearly the same attention and notoriety that men do in sport.

Isn't it really just about men and their ego's?

Answer 1

Balls

Answer 2

idk i think its how they get all there agression out? And it makes them feel powerful and incontrol?

I don't get it either

Answer 3

yes, the are afraid to do real things so they express themselves in ways that are no risk to them, pretend, sports. Can you imagine if every man who goes to a sporting event would instead gather the kids up in the inner city & get them to play a sport. That would be to scarey. They instead sit on the sidelines & act so emotional about a game. Cane you imagine if they would take all the money that is spend on stadiums & put into a hotel for people who are working so hard yet can't afford rent. This is just a way of not helping others & yet being able to express themselves. It is all a waste of energy though.

Answer 4

Sports are ritualized forms of battle.

Men are born to be fighters - this gives them an outlet, they become vicarious warriors.

Answer 14

as a sports fan i'd just because of personal interest, i play sports. and its fun to see people that have incredible talent playing against each other.

Answer 15

It's just something about our society that places such emphasis. It is complete bull that someone gets paid more to throw a ball around than they would to teach our children. Not a fan of sports, obviously, so I can't really give you a better answer, I think it's just the way society's built things up.
