Re: The silliness of sports
Interesting question ORH. I really think the same thing can be said for the majority of things we spend our time doing. Is it silly to pay to listen to your favorite musician, or to visit an incredible art museum, or to read a great piece of literature, or to go to a play, or see a movie, etc. Afterall, those things are just sound, lines on a canvas, words on a page, and people acting different than who they are...
