Aside from entertainment, what do athletes do for society? I can tend to my plants or walk my dog for entertainment.

So, what about the people who’s life and dreams don’t come in thirds? Perhaps they are getting it all wrong because of being focused on trying to live in the lower third of a utopia which has always been far beyond their ability to attain? Perhaps you could donate that watch to one of them.
