Re: playing with balls

Spending money to watch other people exercise? Getting paid to exercise? How is that at all equivalent to watching someone act? To listen to someone tell a story?

To someone who likes sport it is. I often hear people who like football say it is an art and it tells a story. It is referred to as 'the beautiful game'. People talked of way the spanish played at the last world cup as 'beautiful'.

I can't argue that because I don't like football, but I do absolutely love gymnastics. To me, gymnastics is art. I feel the same way when I watch a gymnastics perform a perfect switch split ring or stick a double layout as I do when I look at a beautiful painting. I feel the same way watching an amazingly performed floor routine as I do when someone tells me a good story. I look at the deepness of it, how the moves flowed together, how they took on the character, in the same was as one analyses an actor's performance. And I believe people do the same in football and other sports.

Why would it be less of a story to you just because it is just physically actions? Oh. because you don't like it, that's why.

Gotta agree about gymnastics, and I'd add sports like figure skating and some different kinds of horse showing (like jumping and dressage) to that list. Oh, and snowboarding. That one's cool too. Those sports have a specific visual appeal and art absolutely plays into how they're presented - especially with the first two, where clothing and makeup are chosen to make it into an artistic performance.
