The game is pointless if you only want to see a finished product a dozen times a year. Scrimmages and practice is only interesting if you want to see how a team grows and develops. It is like food, you may not have any interest in how it is made, just have a moment to eat it. Which may be wise if you want to stop into a Chinese restaurant. There truly is more to see if you want a glimmer of development all the way down to the walk-ons and young players.
