I upvote sports, although I’m not a sports fan, because it’s another area where you bump up against reality. Teams have to make the right choices or they lose. It’s another way to gain intuitive experience with probability.
Of all the things you could watch on TV, sports are probably the best for your brain. Scripted TV shows accustom you to narrative logic, not real-world probabilities. TV news does the same thing.
