We share in the excellence by risking ourselves, our happiness. Earlier I said that we see the world of the game much as God might see our world. We do not merely contemplate the world of the game we want things in it to go our way. Final Comments I do not deny that many watch college football for other reasons than the one I ve given. Some watch to see how a bet they ve made, for example, will turn out.
Similar considerations apply in other cases.
My goal has been to find a way to bring into focus something that I think we all know but which is, because of its abstractness, hard to articulate.
