I have to disagree with this. Although obviously I have more than a
passing interest in whether certain teams win or lose I enjoy watching
hockey because of the skills the players display, both individually and
collectively. If a contest in which the score was kept was the only
criterion it would make no difference what sport one watched. I have not
seen a college football game since sometime in the 60's for a variety
of reasons, but a major one is that the techniques and skills displayed
in that sport do not engage my interest even though they care equally
about whether they win or lose.
