Really, I know families who spend days of the week commuting to soccer tournaments, snowboarding, etc. Not to mention the commute to go have practice, shop for equipment - all this is productive time, which can be used for something fruitful. Same with the spectators who burn hundreds of billions of hours as coach potatoes watching sports, paying tens of dollars per month for sports channels, eating junk food, drinking beer, etc. This totals up to a trillion hours of year and hundreds of billion of dollars of direct costs, not to mention the indirect ones and the toll to the environment of all this. How about instead of burning these calories playing sports to actually "burn" them in farming or community service?
