   No, probably not. FZ was a true music geek and most geeks couldn't care   
   less about entertainment for the masses masquerading as 'sport'. He   
   appears to have spent very little time being a spectator.   
      
   If you are personally involved, physically or mentally, in doing   
   something then it can be legitimately called a sport, hobby, etc.   
   Everything else, where you're just a spectator, is just passive   
   entertainment.
