Can either of you tell me what is rational concerning
sports? Even the most trained pro football or hockey
player for example risks seriously damaging their
health, or being crippled. Boxers have been killed by
a single punch. Though many pros make millions per
year they can augment their health insurance with,
does it appear rational they would want to take the
ever-present risk of harming their tendons joints
bones,  in merely chasing a little ball or puck around
a field? Is it rational for them to face excruciating
pain, even for a short while?
 
Is it rational for fans to become hysterical and riot
after sports events?
