If you have the discipline not to peek at the scores...
My neighbour watches soccer from his home country at odd hours of the night, going to work a couple of hours later. Says he'd otherwise only watch a replay knowing his team had won and then it takes away the suspense.
His wife makes him sleep in the guest room!
- dorfsmay 9y agoI'm not into sports, so I guess that helps. I remember as a kid, you had to listen to the radio or watch TV at a certain specific time if you wanted to know what happened in the world. It's weird to think about it now, how radio and tv stations had so much power over people schedules and lives.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoI'm not sure of the details but there was something recently saying knowing the ending, I think it was focused on movies, actually leads to greater enjoyment (or possibly excitement). It was surprising to me, I go a long way to avoid spoilers -- I'd imagine the same would happen with sports matches. I don't generally watch sport, nor follow a team, but when I do it's good sport whether I know the result or not.
- petecox 9y agoSome people like to know there's 'twist' ending and the thrill is figuring out who did it. I avoided spoilers for Blade Runner 2049; Harrison Ford was in it and if you've seen the first movie that's all you need know!
