Thanks for the response. I'm more troubled by sport now because I understand it better.
I totally agree with you on the inability to comprehend something, it also means you can shout at the TV because of the commentator rather than the referee.
It applies in all fields of expertise. There are/were perhaps only a few people who can perceive the nuance between a gold plated flute note and a silver plated one.
On the flip side even though there may be somewhat contrived bits, the "Faking It" TV series was also interesting coming from the 'opposite' approach.
It comes down to what you want out of sport/football - some opt for the technicalities and prowess of the game and its players, some opt for the associated drama and emotion.
One of the things that troubles me the most is - why did I entangle my emotional wellbeing with the outcome of a result enabled by a whole bunch of people I have never and am never likely to meet? We outsource our emotional state and join in a group experience of exhileration and despair often based on non-local events.
As someone not entirely suceeding in ignoring football until 2023, I am glad I came across this:
