Sports only measure the sporting ability of a person or team against another person or team, that's it. They have some relevance to useful characteristics for combat too.

Utility is not really an issue.

For me, the point of sport is fun - that's why I don't watch Professional Football (soccer), it's all about money, not about fun IMO. The only way I really find fun in sport is doing it.

Yay :) That's it. I could play pong all day or soccer or ride a bike or swim, it really doesn't matter. But to look at the performance of my 'national team' or so doesn't translate into a % of the same feeling of actually doing something.

If you want you can live your whole life second-hand today.
