I have never particularly enjoyed watching sport, finding it extremely dull. Playing can be great, but watching others do so? However I have spent a fair amount of time watching Wimbledon/Roland Garros due to a family which loves tennis very much. When I read an article likening Roger Federer's tennis playing to art, I began to think: can sport too be beautiful?
After all, one of my interests as mentioned on my blog profile is 'finding beauty in everything'. So far I have documented my discovery of beauty in clothes, films, books, contact lenses and shea butter. But I'm sorry, I simply cannot see beauty in sport.
Sports
men, on the other hand...
What a fun post! True, finding beauty in sportsmen is easier than finding beauty in sport!
ReplyDeleteI'm a pretty "lazy" person, not hard to understand that xx
yes, love the men, and in some cases the fashion of sports. men in baseball uniforms, anyone?
ReplyDeleteFor me there is a beauty to that perfect move, or throw, or the grace of ballet, gymnastics, or figure skating. I suppose it depends on what you find beautiful, but perfect timing, and incredible unspoken communication between teammates seems beautiful to me. But then again, I have a pretty short attention span for watching sports.
I like that you want to find the beauty in everything:)
Aaah Pamcasso of course you seem so right in writing, but as you say it feels so different after over an hour of men kicking a ball up and down the pitch.
ReplyDeleteBut ballet, I concede is beautiful!
No complaints here. I tend to be "attracted" to good sportsmanship whether or not the guy is "hot."
