To each their own, but I don't think it's fair to classify sports as kids games

You'd have to pay me to watch grown men and/or women dress up in costumes and get paid gobs and gobs of money to play kids' games.

want "to watch grown men and/or women dress up in costumes and get paid gobs and gobs of money" to play make believe roles.

As I just said here-

I don't do many movies, period.
Some sci-fi / fantasy, on occasion, on cable. There hasn't been a movie that I 'have to see' so badly to make me hit a theater in 15 or so years. I think the last time I was in a theater was for the first Lord of the Rings movie, and that was a work sponsored event.
I'll read damned near any genre, but I don't spend much money on someone else's interpretation when I can do much better in my head.

That being said, I don't watch any of those either because they have little appeal to me.

No TV in 20+ years. I like to think of it as TV sobriety. It's amazing how well you can spend those hours once you get them back.

I'm not into making assumptions, but it's kind of easy at this point.
