Mankind's REAL Obsession is what they do with the ball. I want to be better than I was last season, playing this game. I want to score more, play more, Start, Win... Now this is FUN.
Competition; I can hit the ball harder, further, longer, etc. I want to win, I play to win, I hate to lose, if I lose, I learn from it & work harder to not let it happen again. To play is FUN, to win is FUNNNNEERR.
Balls also make exercising more enjoyable.

Dude that's why they are the best players in the world. That's brilliant actually. Think about it - if you can control a tennis ball and you train with it regularly think how large the soccer ball would seem by comparison. I had a training idea the other day to scrimmage not for 90 minutes but for 120. Do this on a regular basis and the team won't be winded at the end of game cause they will have trained to play for a longer period of time. It's along the same line of thinking.

It is a very old obsession, going back to the stone age. Round objects, such as animal skulls, coconuts etc. were the easiest to move, so they were used for playing around. Later someone did invent some rules, and the rest is (sports) history.

I have often wodered myself, but so far not come up with a definitive answer. I presume it must have something to so with the early development of our primeval ancestors, some kind of attraction the early humans had to round-shaped objects.
Personally I am not affected by it. I spend my time rather with solving problems, helping people and trying to make this planet a little bit better than it is.

Because it's fun to hit, throw and chase after balls and that little kid in us all including women wants to stay that way. I mean life is serious enough isn't it?

Maybe the spheroid shape reminds them somewhere in the deep recesses of their consciousness of the womb. Who wouldn't like to go back to the warm, quiet safety of that sacred place?
