it should be possible to appreciate sports in general, and enjoy specific sporting events, without faking emotional investment in any following. sure, the adrenaline might be vicarious rather than hard-earned, however it still gives you an earnest enjoyment.

I don't think it is lame to admit that you didn't care about the scoreboard before or after witnessing an event.

It's not lame at all to admit you don't care about sports. It's the not caring about sports part that makes one lame (or at least that makes a red-blooded American male lame).

I didn't really phrase my point well. There are multiple ways to care about sports... specific sports? specific groups? recurring events?

Appreciation of the importance of athleticism is probably closest to caring about specific events [and their recurrence, rather than simply liking the rules of some sport without worrying how often they are tested]. It's a little similar to "belief in belief" devoid of opinion about which specific day the community congregates.
