If an up and coming actor followed current successful actor's, to study their skills and learn from them, they would be considered diligent and aspiring !
If a family man is taking time away from his family, to track sports players, umpires, actors, etc., that's creepy.
If you've got the time to do it, and enjoy it, go for it !
Me, I'm too busy doing it, to obsess about it. And yes, I wish I had the time to track & study better umpires than myself.
Hell, I wish I had more time to sleep !
