because if you never played it or grew up with it, you simply dont have that emotional connection. I'm sure the parents of the original batch of hockey players thought the exact same thing about their kids passtimes since they couldn't give a hoot about this strange new game the kids all started playing. i mean hell, i love sports but i couldn't give a damn about soccer

why do we watch hockey? to see people play a game that we really enjoy at the highest possible level, doing things you could never do

why do people watch esports? similarily, to watch people play a game they really enjoy at the highest possible level, doing things you could never do
