Exploring the often-overlooked dimension of spectatorship, this book investigates the philosophical implications of watching sports rather than participating. It highlights how viewers actively shape their perceptions, drawing parallels with art and theatre. By examining the aesthetic qualities inherent in sports, from the beauty of a precise football pass to the artistry in ice-skating and gymnastics, it addresses themes of aesthetics, morality, and collective emotional experiences, making it relevant to both philosophy and sports studies enthusiasts.
