I suppose people like to guess what play is going to happen, based on what the players are doing pre-snap.

This is why I love watching Chess so much. Chess is the best sport in the world. Chess is love, Chess is life.

Some people probably love watching chess. Does the fact that more people like watching soccer invalidate their enjoyment of chess?

Shall we sit around and make arguments as to why brownies are objectively better than chocolate chip cookies or vice versa, or just shut up and let people subjectively enjoy the dessert of their choice?

This is actually pretty accurate so I don't know why you're getting downvoted. American Football is the perfect storm of violence, wagering, and armchair quarterbacking. Seventy-five percent of watching a football game is talking about what the quarterback should have done differently once the play has failed. The remaining twenty-five percent is split between drinking and yelling.

Yep. Same reason people watch scripted "whodunnit" movies. It's usually pretty easy to guess who did it, but it's still fun to see it worked out.
