Without an audience, a competition turns into a closed exercise, no matter how high its technical level or the aesthetic beauty of its production. It is a balanced relationship between a player who performs, a competition that is tested, and an audience that grants the sporting act its social legitimacy. Sport, in its essence, is not only measured by the number of goals, times, or points, but also by the number of eyes that watched and the voices that chose to be witnesses. Silent seats are not just a visual void, but a disruption of meaning. The spectator's presence is not an additional detail, but a complementary element to the sporting experience, which enhances the player's performance and gives the event a psychological and moral energy that sport cannot create on its own. Sport is a collective act by its very nature.
