What are you unaware of?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 28, 2009:
Spectator sports.
Right now it's "March Madness" and I only know that because the usual network programming has been pre-empted.
I'm thinking unaware - like a scotoma, a blind spot. Everyone has stuff they overlook unless it's pointed out to them.
I am not generally drawn to watching other folks performing competitive physical activities.
Although I will admit, I was really drawn into watching a few kendo competitions after taking fencing lessons for awhile. Overall, though, I'd much rather do than watch.
But I understand that spectator sports makes a similar sense to some folks as my watching live music, theatre, or dance.
