Sports are better to watch if you don’t care who wins

Sports are a form of entertainment. You get to watch professional athletes compete at a high level. Making enjoyment conditional on the outcome of the match can make or break the days of a lot of typical sports fans.

I come from MMA, where there’s not as many people who are diehard fans of a few fighters, and where fighters can easily gain or lose fans (e.g. Tyron Woodley, Dricus du Plessis, Daniel Cormier) due to what they do or how they fight. Seeing the tribalism in other sports like football or American football looks nonsensical in comparison, as though people don’t even consider the fact that they can stop cheering for their own team.

I would much rather watch a competitive, entertaining match that the person I support loses in than a boring match where they win.
