Sorry, you totally lost me there. I never liked spectator sports. And if our culture would discourage the "I want to be better than you", "I absolutely have to beat you" mentality, MAYBE there'd be fewer wars. Just sayin'.
I too have suddenly gotten pulled back into watching pro football - needed diversion! You've stated well that it's definitely preferable to real war! This topic of course calls to mind George Carlin's classic "baseball vs football" monologue - a must-watch: https://youtu.be/aIkqNiBASfI?si=jKfxxkdBsRwI6N9V

Interesting analysis!
Imagine the amount of war there would be if so much testosterone were not funneled into sports. The analogy is apt. The reality is mythic.
