You clearly don't watch football right if you think it is just spectating. Football is a social event. It is an excuse to get together with friends, visit, go out drinking, and basically have a good time. It is no different than bowling, or fishing... it is something you can do while doing other things as well.
Some of my best memories from college are Saturdays in the fall, tailgating with friends and making new ones. I've lost track of the number of random people I know because we just so happened to be drinking on the same porch or ended up next to each other in the stadium and struck up a conversation.
99% of people who watch football don't do it a dark room all by themselves, unlike this game, which you seem to think is a better use of time considering how much you've played. I think "spectating" as you put it, is unquantifiably more productive and engaging than playing EQ. But then again, I generally don't feel the need to pass judgement on what makes other people happy.
