I am not into watching ball players play their sport because it is boring to me. If you are a person who will sit in front of a television watching people play ball games for hours, you may also be boring to some people. There is a lot of money made from people willing to pay just to see someone throw a ball. Most ball game fans will spend money on buying clothes that look like the clothes the players wear. This is done in order to let other people know what kind of ball players you like the best. There is nothing wrong with people watching other people throw balls.
This ball watching thing will cause people to get in fights over who can throw the balls best. I guess I just don't understand what would make someone fight over a ball game. I think playing ball games can be a lot of fun if you play with the ball yourself. I have asked a lot of ball sports fans what kind of ball sport they play. A lot of them never play any kind of ball sport because they do not have time. If you call in sick at work just to go watch a ball game then you must not need the money. One of my friends bought a truck painted with a ball game name on the bed of the truck. This is alright if you never plan to sell the truck.
Any time a ball game is your only form of fun, you are watching too many ball games. You are watching too much ball sports when it is all you talk about when you are with your friends. I have seen men and women stop dating because one of them just wanted to just watch ball games. If you tell your friends you cannot go some place with them because you will not be able to watch a ball game, these friends may stop asking you to do things. I know this is true because I see it happen at least once a week.
You are into ball sports too much when you eat most of your meals in front of the television. Watching a ball game will cause people to eat four meals a day. A ball game bar will give away free food so the people watching the games will buy more drinks. You are watching too many ball games if you are gaining weight while watching the games. If this is your life style and you want to live for the next ball game, go for it.
