Is playing or watching sports more entertaining? [no gaming stuff]

In general it's playing for me. Or if it's not a sport that I would play then watching. Watching is all fine and good, but nothing beats the thrill of playing as far I am concerned. For example I like both watching and playing organized Volleyball and Tennis, but if I were to choose between playing and watching it is a no-brainer for me.

Also, your reasoning for watching being "junk food" and "playing is tiring" don't sound like the sort of things that bode well for a more healthy life style. I do hope you try to be somewhat active for your own well-being even if it's not via sports.

On a side note, there was also a thread on here awhile ago that polled users on whether or how much they exercise. Let's just say the results were very disturbing.

I much prefer to play rather than watch. I find watching sports to be boring, whereas actually participating is enjoyable.

depends on if you know how to play that sport. if yes, then playing of course, but if not - watching is good enough :)

Oh god I hate sports games more than anything. They are by far my least favorite genre in existence.

Watching sports? Eh...id much rather physically play the game than watch it though.

I would rather play sports. I get really bored watching them.

Play because it's healthy, watch sport games because I can't play like the pros.
