How is there a difference between a "fun event" and and something you enjoy?
You have this weird obsession with thinking that your definition of "importance" is the universal one that everyone must accept.
Sport in general is (by most definitions) unimportant. You have some artificially constructed hierarchy of what games matter and what don't, e.g. you (ridiculously) think that bowl games don't matter, and only games being played for a championship matter. More people care about bowl games than they do the DII championship game. Or the MLS championship game. Or the WNBA championship game. To some people the World Cup is the most important event in the universe; I care about it it not at all. And that's fine.
Bottom line: there is no universal definition of what events are or are not important. If people think the Blue White game is important, that's fine. If people think downhill ski events are important, also fine. You are not the arbiter of what is or is not important.
