We watch sports. Oh, how we watch. There are thousands of hours of sports available on television every year. We see the advertisements during the games, and we buy and everyone makes money. Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of what sports are all about.
Some sports are solitary.
You can go running all by yourself, but that's still a sport. Just try and cut 15 seconds off your best mile time. That's competition against the clock. A sport doesn't have to be organized. Coaches, television cameras and sports writers aren't needed.
