agreed

the same could be said about any sort of entertainment.

What fun is going to a music concert if you're not playing?

What fun is going to a stand up comedy routine, if you're not performing?

it's entertainment.


exactly...all these losers here are really close minded.

Anyone with male genitalia is not a man if they don't have SOME sort of competitive streak in them. I not big into being a spectator and never watch sports by myself nor follow teams but I like watching games with lots of friends around while drinking beer and talkin trash about the players and with each other. I LOVE playing sports, just about anything. But any male that doesn't have some sort of competitive and comradaric spirit with other men isn't a man at all. They may or may not be gay, that isn't the issue. However, if you are seeing such a guy mosh I suggest you dump him and get a real man

"How you doing?"

i use to be a baseball fan, but havent followed the game for a years. I was into college football when i was in college but haven't really followed that either. I have never followed pro football. at the moment I am not interested in any sports, unless you count counter-strike a sport.

I enjoy playing a game of football at a family reunion. I play softball with people from work sometimes. I like bicycling and numerous other individual physical activities. I used to play racquetball fairly often, though not quite as much this year. I'd say I'm fairly athletic.

As for watching sports? That's the biggest waste of time imaginable. Like Ornery said, why the hell would I want to sit around and root for my "home team" which very likely has no players who are even from my home town? They're all just playing for whichever team paid them the most money.

Lots of my friends aren't into watching sports either, but if you told us we were gay because of it to our face you'd regret it. Unless of course you like having a bunch of bikers break all your limbs and leave you in a dumpster.

i have only played once, but it was insane. with the combination of the constant adrenaline rush, it really is an amazing experience. actually i can say that my first games of TFC were "IRL" this was years ago though, but i have fired one of the newer guns. incredibly accurate!

if you're paintballing you're doing a lot of hauling ass!!

Ah another poorly thought out reply... if the sports watching occured at similar hours as the posting occurs, then you'd have an argument. Need I clarify that one?

wtf? yes please clarify...lets see if you can justify one hell of an idotic post.

I played most of the common team sports for a year each during my elementary school years, just to see what they were about. Except for a couple games of football (like 3) over the years, I haven't played one since.

Basically I hate sports. I NEVER watch them, never play them, never talk about them. Generally speaking I'm in opposition to them, though I want people to be able to play them if they choose I do NOT want any of my tax money going to them (ie school sports).

Most of my family are fairly into sports, but of my friends only one is into sports. In fact, most of the rest despise sports more than I do.

I should point out that I'm talking about normal or team sports. I enjoy paintballing, exercising, hiking, biking, martial arts, and so on.

Translation: "It was during elementary school that I found out that I found out that I sucked at all sports, and therefore I hate them now. But instead of admitting that I'm just dorky and unathletic, I'm going to pretend that I have some kind of deep philosphical opposition to competitive sports."
