Me who just don't care about sports (feel like the only one)

Can't watch them.
In fact, I don't watch TV at all.

There I said it.

I hear ya. I live in Pittsburgh, one of the biggest sports towns around and I couldn't care less about any of it. I guess it was just the way I was raised - I was never taught anything on how the various games worked, we didn't watch sports as a family, I was very rarely taken to any games. I had virtually no exposure to football, baseball, or hockey as a kid.

I don't mind going to see a game every now and again with friends, but that's really the extent of my interest.

Sports are way boring to me. Blecccch. Although I like hockey since I can understand it.

I think we have a serious problem in this country when we pay grown men millions of dollars a year to play games when teachers have to pay for their own classroom supplies, soldiers returning from war have to wait months or years for proper medical care and a person working sh---ty jobs for minimum wage have to work 60-80 hours a week just to put food on the table.

^^ This ^^

I'm with you on this. Couldn't care less about Pro sports.. & this whole "fantasy football/baseball/whatever" thing just baffles me.. Oh well. Each to their own.

I'm the same. Take no pleasure in watching some teams play and never had any interest in remembering the players names.
Even when it's something individual like say the olympics and it's some countryman of mine on the podium, It's just something to look at and a bit of admiration but doesn't drag me in enough to watch them! much more interesting are the visuals in the opening ceremony.

I get why someone would enjoy playing games, I even get why that person would go sit down and watch others play them too, they can relate and might learn something but I completely don't get why someone who doesn't actively play them would feel like watching them on tv or going to a match. And there are a lot of such people.

all of this! that is the number one reason why I don't, and now our state wants us taxpaers to pay for a new stadium for our football team, and they put a huge tax and tobacco...I hope everyone in MN quits smoking. When my boss wanted to build a new building for his company, I don't think taxpayers paid for it...the company paid for it! okay, end rant on overpaid whinebabies....

Never got into sports. Perhaps it's blind coincidence, but the most die-hard sports fans that I know are the most out of shape. They are the ones who are more prone to not only attribute their very their identity through "their team", but also to hurl insults at others who do the same.
Conversely, most of the dedicated athletes in my circle do not follow sports. While some cheer because their team did something great, many others would rather strive to do something great themselves.

I quite enjoy rugby and will watch the Tour de France, but my big thing is motorsport; mainly two-wheeled, so BSB, WSBK, MotoGP, speedway etc. Formula 1 is good when there's nothing else on.

OMG, marry me!

Seriously though, I deal with sports, and sports watching finatics... but honestly, it drives me crazy! My ex-hubby made life revolve around sports and his "reality" shows.... talk about out of control!

I refuse to watch sports on TV (except the olymics, and that is only a maybe), take me to the actual event and I will have a MUCH better time, but there is no guarantee that I will actually be paying attention to the sport

Where I live, most of the women I'm around love sports too, so I definitely feel outnumbered at times, but it really doesn't bother me that much. I do my thing, and they do theirs.

A lot of guys I know are super athletic and not into sports. My ex boyfriend who was also a personal trainer like me was into professional cycling, skateboarding and motorsports. My bf of 7 years lifts weights regularly and is into bow hunting, hiking, and motorcycles and doesn't get men who watch football or golf etc. but he's still friends with plenty of them.

A few guys at the personal training studio where I work couldn't care less about sports and these are hardcore marathoners or ultramarathoners or bodybuilders.

I personally find traditional sports boring and never enjoyed any of the sports I played in school. I do love watching parkour athletes, aerialists, martial artists, adventure racers, and skateboarders do amazing things with their bodies and I don't really care if the people in my life don't share my passion for those types of sports. I've been exercising my whole life and love to hike, aerial dance, and when I get the chance I go bouldering or kayaking. I find more motivation/inspiration in non traditional sports.

Sounds to me like you might be into more sophisticated sports than football basketball which could make you the more interesting person in the conversation. EVERYBODY talks about the stupid foosball as my boyfriend calls it but the guys at my gym who talk about the more obscure type sports are always way more fun to chat with : )
