It's been a while since I've felt genuine involvement in a sport. Of course, I enjoy footy through the screen and sometimes almost forget the distance. But it's not like being on the terraces - or, better still, in action on the pitch. Today I found myself court-side for a game of basketball, not a game I'm that familiar with. Nevertheless I lost myself in the proceedings, entirely engrossed.
Odd, isn't it, that you can lose yourself in a game, sometimes in the sheer exuberant beauty of what's going on, in a similar way to losing yourself in the theatre? The kinship of Sport and Art is surely no accident. At the highest levels they're pretty much the same thing, I reckon.
