Separation of the active and the passive, the line between sport and spectator, gives rise to the paradox of the spectator — described by French philosopher Jacques Rancière ; which is to seek an opportunity to passively contemplate engaging in an activity, and in doing so, forfeit that life moment one might have used to actually engage in the activity.
