Well said. Recently, at a gathering with a group of guys I don't know very well, although my wife knows their wives very well, sports came up. It came out that I don't like football, baseball, hockey, basketball etc, but I do like bicycling.
Well, after about ten minutes of hearing about what a "faggy" sport it is, the truth started to come out. I was the only one present who actually participated in any sport at all. I was less than merciful from that point on. It's unlikely I'll be invited back.
I had the same experience when I was playing competitive Table Tennis. I was the only one playing a sport, everyone else was watching the NFL and Basketball and gorging themselves on Cheetos and potato chips.
Now I am trying to become a competitive shooter. Very, very difficult to do in Texas with the great shooters we have. It will be about a year or two before I get everything under control. A great challenge. And I don’t have to depend on my bad knees (rugby injury).
