Many people who are unhealthy and out of shape live vicariously through the exploits of their favorite team or favorite athletes. The image of the superfan on Saturday Night Live or that Tim Horton’s commercial showing a bunch of portly middle aged men crying about the NHL strike comes to mind.
Better that people play those sports themselves and get some exercise.
