If all you do is sit and watch sports then no it isn’t a hobby it’s a passive activity. If you’re going to a sports bar and talking to other people or getting online and engaging with people, Tracking statistics, betting things like that are what elevate a passive activity to a hobby. I’ve probably been playing games longer than a lot of people on Lemmy have been alive. It’s never just been a consumptive hobby for me. I paint as well (both Warhammer/miniatures and canvass) I consider those creative hobbys.

I’m not sure how you would do board games as a consumptive hobby. Could you elaborate on what your mean?

I don’t think you can just count board games as a hobby.
