But what does it mean to be entertained?

How come nobody has disagreed with the part about finding bad athletes entertaining yet?

As an NFL fan, I hated watching Curtis Painter play for the Colts last season, but it is more entertaining to watch a good player have a bad game, like say...Tony Romo (although I'm sure someone out there would debate whether he qualifies as a good player or not).

Wow, for a statement that I intended to provoke discussion, it sure did its job.

I'm surprised how riled up you guys get over something so flippant.

And corrections, you're incorrect, people who are bad at sports are frequently entertaining.

I bet our game would make a better movie, though.
