And watching the lives of celebrities isn't? How is checking the box scores any different then checking the tabloids, or the youtube recaps of a show? They are industries that exist solely because people want them to and are willing to give money. (And, though it's an entirely different conversation, I would argue that manned space flight is the same, it serves no scientific purpose, being way more expensive and less robust than unmanned probes. It exists merely for publicity)
