There is a difference; sport teams engage emotionally the people that looks at
them. If not, if you look at any game without that, you get bored as hell. I
cannot engage emotionally with a human team and less with CM or Tiger or any
other inert thing like cars, clothes, etc. One exception: locomotives. But of
course that IS different :-) Respect our field, I do understand to be interested
to look a game between machines from time to time, but, always? To purchase
programs for looking them playing with you as observer, always? To organize
tournaments between machines AND always? That's for me sheer madness. OK, anyone
has a right to his particular madness, no damage to non. Mine, to play
personally the beasts, probably is just another kind of madness.
Salutes and a sheerful Ktmas.
