Yes, but just picture the audience that watches them! Compared to those worthies they probably do look like sportsmen.

It works like this. If you're a fat, lazy, drunken slob...you go to the pub and play darts with your mates and pretend you're a sportsman. If you're too fat, lazy, and drunk to even get on your feet and GO to the pub...you watch others do it on TV. ;-)
