On the contrary , i think it very wryly appropriate. we are too much in love with spectacle, and so often lose the capcity to experience the subtle essences that comprise any devotion, compassion or love. entire lives are wasted watching games and cicusses. Is it just our business on earth to be "entertained"? But hey, even wrestlers can become governors , and actors can become presidents. Did you see the movie "The Gladiator"? imagine the ancient cretans and their bull flyers. To run at the bull head on and catch the horns flying over the bull's head. Such sport ! But it can be easily interpreted as elan vital, bravery courage, strength, and love of the skills of competition. Most games are psychological scaled down mock wars, without the death and fear. ;-)) PS:* i have a small weakness for woman's beach volleyball. Very esthetic and powerful to see them flying thru the air, and focussed . Grew up on many beautiful beaches myself. A very fun game!
