Do spectator sports have an inherent value, bonding communities, giving people the sense of being part of something larger than themselves, and providing a diversion from the woes of the world? Or, as Alex Jones suggests, does following sports teams dull the mind, waste the taxpayers’ money and distract attention from issues that genuinely DO affect people’s lives?

Our panel discusses these and other aspects of the utility of spectator sports on this segment of The Point with Ana Kasparian.
