    wasting time on something you enjoy is not actually wasted time. Besides, so many people get positivity from watching etc

      I wonder what the response would be if the OPs unpopular opinion had been on video games and esports instead? For the record, I enjoy video games.

        You don’t need to bankrupt entire cities to build esports arenas so esports is better.

          On a planet as diverse as ours, there should be plenty of room for both regular sports and e-sports.

            There is plenty of room. But the Olympics insist on changing city every 4 years and building a brand new stadium and village every time. It’s wasteful.
