WHY do we watch sport? We watch sport for days like Tuesday, when England beat Germany 2-0.
Yet it wasn’t the victory itself that made it so special for all of us. Of course that was important, but it wasn’t everything.
We watch sport for the same reasons we play it. We do it for enjoyment, for the sense of belonging, the feeling of being part of something bigger than just ourselves.
