Expert Skill, as in, "know all about it" but doesn't actually do "it". Maybe that's a prereq for sports commentating (excluding those who've actually played).

In Martial Arts, Expert Skill (Hoplology) covers the study of how people fight. Socialism might be considered a Philosophy skill, though I've never liked the way GURPS handles Philosophy. (The actual academic study of philosophy involves learning about reason, logic, ethics, etc. GURPS treats it as a specialization in something like Marxism or Epicureanism.) Psychoanalysis is probably just a treatment of Psychology. Understanding the rules of games like soccer and other sports are Hobby Skills, technically, so they're easy instead of hard.
