The fact that not everyone is like you doesn't mean they're addicted to something. I don't watch sports, but I play videogames, and I don't like playing solo games because without the social aspect, it's not as enjoyable. Some people don't like eating pizza with pineapple, some people don't like coffee without sugar. None of these facts imply an addiction to sugar or pineapple or anything else. It could simply be that there are people who don't enjoy the hockey alone but for the social perspective. Maybe they don't even enjoy hockey at all by itself, but "commented hockey".
