I say any art, music, painting, poetry, whatever, is something that is varying, is rooted in our evolution's drive to seek patterns. Our escapism, is a result of of trying to find comfort in escapism. When we perceive something as pleasing to our senses, that feeling of comfort can have a very real effect on our immune system.
Sports too, is really our species simulation at attempts to gain resources. "Points" are metaphor for resources, and a score can literally cause positive chemical reactions in the player's brain.
Even with my poetry. People either like it or they do not. But, I can say after I finish one I think is really good, I do get a positive feeling which really are electro chemical reactions in my brain.
