Does anyone think football (American) would hold the position it does in our psyche without the administration of being a voyeristic seat at a good "fight"?

Football is about the survival and conquering of a weaker enemy or opponent. As spectators, we get our appetite filled for violence, without a shot being fired! I enjoy watching the more talented and stronger group of men defeat their opponent. Many times the more talented and stronger team is playing my team!
In the end, they all shake hands and prepare for another day of battle!
I see myself vicariously through my favorite players!
