watching sports
Cheering from afar
Watching sports is the activity of following athletic competitions as a spectator, whether at a venue or through broadcast media.
It encompasses everything from casual viewing to devoted fandom: We spent Sunday watching sports.
The phrase often implies passive entertainment, sometimes used dismissively: All he does is sit around watching sports.
