Cultivated Disinterest in Professional Sports

Radittsu, when you post, I read your posts to my entire family in hopes that we can all achieve the awesome that you have... One day, my sons will know your name, not as another human being, but as a god among forum gods.

Every male I've known who wasn't at least partially into sports has been a geek/dork/beta loser/has asperger's and makes other people uncomfortable. Every single one.

Guys are into sports in some capacity. That's all there is to it. Don't care if it's football, baseball, basketball, tennis, cricket, jousting, fucking frisbee golf, they're into sports in some way. It's been that way for thousands of years and it's still that way.

My point is if you aren't into sports, that's cool, quit bashing on the ones who do enjoy playing and watching these sports. Football is a pasttime of mine, and could have been a future scholarship for me before I broke my back in varsity high school. It was always a family tradition, and was held in good terms, we arent violent people, but we are a proud family full of athletes and academics alike. No need to bash one another, instead, lets just watch some football/or any other sport, and love the idea behind those men winning a big game like the superbowl. Fuck the patriots, but good going for them.

Injury here as well, but off-field and to my right leg. Pretty much tore it to shreds. Not a big deal mentally, considering I never wanted to play college sports. They were just fun experiences with friends, and looked nice to colleges as a peripheral interest. The injury wasn't going to matter to the schools I was interested in. Wound up in a very good school in the area that my parents would have never been able to afford straight up.

Being a fan has certainly had an impact on my life as well. Stats have amazed me since I got my first baseball cards. 1987 Topps! I still remember every card in the pack. I suppose I could have collected them and never cared about the watching sports, but that would be a bit unusual.

So very wrong... I have loads of friends who couldn't give a shit about any sports. There are better things out there. Music, literature, etc, etc...

Man, it looked like you were going to hit it out of the park. Then you had to go and miss the ball completely.

But I like football and baseball and also music and literature. Liking sports doesn't preclude you from having other interests. Some people have the intellectual capacity to follow several forms of recreation as hobbies and not have their heads explode.

My point still stands. Not everyone likes sports of some kind. I can almost understand the appeal of playing sports yourself but enthusiastically cheering on this year's corporate assortment of hired thugs and rapists is quite baffling.
