IMO, if you're taking a blind person to a football game, you would just cause unnecessary stresses on that person. Trying to explain the details of a football game to a blind person from birth can be a huge task.
We dont normally train our senses and in fact, we're abusing it too often. Its important to have certain syncronizations, eg eye-hand coordination, which increases the gray area of our brain. An example of this is a juggler. Footballers have pretty good eye-leg coords.
A blind person would tune their ears to recognize beyond what we normally bothered to. A good marjong player would "feel" their drawing dice, like how blind players read.
