'Sports' sucks... If it's not War or Bagpiping, or preferably War and Bagpiping I just don't care.
I like playing sports, but I can't figure out the attraction of watching a bunch of felons do stupid human tricks and pretending it is for real.
Car or motorcycle racing is fun to watch because people actually do die--I've got respect for that as a 'sport'. I can't watch soccer--bunch of greasy, long-haired little eurofags running around in short-shorts and flopping around like a fish when someone bumps into them.
I like women's tennis, if they are hot. I like women's gymnastics, if they have skimpy singlets. I like women's figure skating cause Katarina Witt used to look like she had a squirrel stuffed in the crotch of her outfit.
Good list otherwise...
Personally I agree with you. I also liked to play sports when I was younger, but never got into watching (or God forbid actually FOLLOWING) professional sports. (I do watch the Superbowl every year, though, out of tradition.)
Still, I think this point is valid. I have long noticed that anytime I am with a random group of men, the subject inevitably turns to sports. I usually just keep quiet until the topic changes. Sometimes it never does.
Concur. Spectator sports are the new opiate of the masses.
