Sports, like any large body of knowledge, requires a dedication of a great deal of brain-hours to become proficient at. Actually participating in sports requires an order of magnitude more investment, of course. Since human beings have limited time available to them, they MUST sacrifice something else in order to become knowledgeable about sports. For me, this is why I have no interest in sports. The game mechanics interest me, the statistics interest me, and I could find a lot of avenues to approach the subject enjoyably... but I would have to give up something else. And the other things I occupy myself with are, in my opinion, more worth my time.
