Default Anyone NOT like sports?

I dont unless it involves wheels and motors*except nascar*, but anything that involves throwing, hitting a ball, etc, bores the life out of me, i guess i just dont get it


edit: just to be clear, i religiously follow motorcycle road racing, except Moto GP 125's and 250's

I really like about any kind of auto racing, especially offroad, and except nascar(500 of the same lap in identical cars is too much)

but watching a bunch of dudes chase around a ball, or hit a ball, puck , etc is really boring to me

plus i dont have anything against anyone that enjoys sports, i just dont myself

I don't DISlike sports, but I don't follow them, for the most part. I'll watch a football game with friends (and I do cheer for the Gators), but I don't keep up with it generally speaking.

However, GOING to games (baseball, football or hockey) is a blast. I LOVE going to games. It's much more exciting in person than on T.V., IMO.

Basketball, however, whether live or on T.V., whether pro or college, is the single most useless creation to ever bounce upon this earth. Seriously, I cannot think of a more boring passtime than watching basketball.



I will admit, lately I've developed a liking for MMA fights. Boxing always bored the shit out of me, but MMA is pretty exciting (I can't believe I just admitted that publicly).

Don't like to watch sports. Played all kinds in school but even then couldn't stand to just sit and watch anything. Jeeps has got me hooked on motorcycle racing though.

You know, I guess that's kinda where I fall too.
I don't "hate" sports, but I've never taken any real interest in them.
I can count on one hand the number of football games I'll sit and watch any given season, and none of those are just me sitting by myself watching for my own enjoyment.
I've been to pro & minor league events (hockey & baseball) and I do agree that they are much more fun to watch live than on TV. Hockey especially, with the right seats.
MMA works ok for me, but I have to admit I like it better when two strikers are fighting as opposed to all the ground fighting and submission stuff.

One thing I really don't like about sports is how much brain power and money so many people willingly throw into sports fandom.

I only "get" two kinds of sports. motorcycle racing, and UFC. mmmm fast shiny bikes and kickass riders, and perfectly good men beating the living shit outta each other for my entertainment. what could be better than this? aside from naked cheerleader jello wrestling.

grew up with sports, enjoy watching them as well but I'm not that crazy fan that can site any or every historic or non historic event that ever happened and don't have a house full of team related junk and don't spend money on season tickets and such.

I love Football and really enjoy watching it. The Dallas Cowboys are my team.

I was a big Basketball fan but haven't watched much since the strike. I was betting a lot then and when they went on strike I didn't have much to bet on. I was piss and still haven't forgave them. The Chicago Buls were my team.

I like Hockey but don't watch it all the time. I love playing it

Baseball I like playing but will only watch it every now and then.

Boxing is my favorite sport. Roy Jones Jr. is my favorite boxer.

MMA I liked more in the beginning. I miss the days when you would have two guys in the cage, each with a different style of fighter and only having that one style. That I liked. Not as much as Boxing but I liked it. There is to much ground work now. That to me is boring. I like when they keep it on their feet but it doesn't happen enough.

I also like Olympia sports. (Summer and winter)

Motor sports?

I like Motorcross. James "Bubba" Steward is on of my favorites.

I like the touring cars but never see much coverage so I don't follow it.

I like Rally racing but don't follow it.

I like Superbike but don't follow it.

James
