It is much easier to market a sport to people that have played the sport as a child. These spectators more readily imagine themselves on the field of play, in place of one of the players, making the winning score and drinking in the adoration of the crowd by proxy. 2, record 3, English, - spectator

[Pre-association is] a step on the reaction path of some stepwise reactions ... in which the molecular entity C is already present in an encounter pair or encounter complex with A during the formation of B from A ... The chemical species C may but does not necessarily assist the formation of B from A (which may itself be a bimolecular reaction with some other reagent). If it does not, C is described as being present as a spectator, and hence such a mechanism is sometimes referred to as a spectator mechanism. 1, record 5, English, - spectator%20mechanism

[La préassociation est une] étape sur le chemin réactionnel de certaines réactions par étapes [...] dans lesquelles l'entité moléculaire C est présente dès la formation de B à partir de A, sous forme d'un complexe de rencontre (ou complexe de collision ou paire de rencontre) avec A. [...] L'espèce chimique C peut éventuellement, mais pas nécessairement, faciliter la formation de B à partir de A (cette étape pouvant être elle-même une réaction bimoléculaire impliquant un autre réactif). Si ce n'est pas le cas, on dit que C est présent en tant que «spectateur»; ceci explique pourquoi un tel mécanisme est parfois appelé mécanisme à spectateur. 1, record 5, French, - m%C3%A9canisme%20spectateur

Les spectateurs fatalistes (14 pour 100). Les membres de ce segment affichent une attitude déprimée et cynique; ce sont les moins instruits et leurs salaires sont les plus bas.
