I take spectatorship and politics as opposites in a zero-sum game. Hannah Arendt was rather good on this. And when Aristotle defined man [sic] as a political animal, i.e. an animal that lived in cities, i.e. an animal that participated in the public life of cities, he made the same point: spectatorship is boring and the opposite of politics.
