>>21213851Do you understand why people like competitive video games? It's like that except you meet people offline and get into better shape doing it. I don't think it's inherently better than video games, but there's a physical element you can't get from video games. And meeting people offline plus getting in-shape is "normie."
But I assume you're also talking about why people enjoy watching sports, not just why people enjoy playing sports. It's fun for the same reason watching any game you know being played can be fun. The more you know about it, the more you can appreciate the moves being made. Normies gravitate more towards Football and stuff more because that's what their social group is into.
But what is a normie now, anyway? Just people with a big social circle or more popular interests? Most people aren't playing sports, most people are fat and lonely nowadays. 4chan is the normies now, as sad as it sounds. And actual hardcore sports fans are hardly normies. Do you just mean, "why do average uninvolved people who care about social interaction like sports?" I think the popularity itself and the social element, it's easy to gravitate towards the biggest thing if you're indifferent. But the indifferent normie isn't as real as we think. All those imagined normies generally have their own private lives and interests that we just aren't aware of. Stop living in the hyperreality meme world and embrace reality.
