At least in my country every city, no matter how small, have some public football pitch. And almost every neighborhood have some mini pitch. I have no data, but I’m pretty sure that football sums way more area around the globe than golf.
You are right in a way. I always assume company sysadmins have access to company data, even if they say the opposite, and I always assume there are undisclosed data leaks. Which may seem a little paranoid.
It’s like closing your car’s door when leaving it alone: Is it paranoid to assume that always there are someone willing to steal stuff?
