Sports Fan or Not?​

Not.

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

My exhaustive scientific studies have shown that men who do not follow sports do so because their minds are preoccupied with homoeroticism, or soccer.
As such, they are unable to focus on the competition. Example: a normal person sees a highly competitive NBA Finals game between two elite teams. The score changes, the hit shots, the critical misses, all culminating in an eventual champion.
Contrarily, the male non-sports fan sees an entire team of 6'7" black basketball players spit-roasting him in the club showers. Or some other homoerotic scenario.
He will focus on anything to avoid showing obvious arousal in public.
"Anyone want chips?" "Oh, I need to make this call." "Your wife need help in the kitchen?"
Be wary of the non-sports fan, for inside every one hides society's true enemy, the homosexual.

I have n problem with sports up to junior year of school. it teaches working together, and physical fitness.

after that, it's little more than caveman mentality, and Roman gladiator crap.

the brain is not a muscle, it's an organ.

it doesn't need exercise, it needs input.

That's a contradiction.

I'm a baseball and football sports fan. I used to be into hockey but that was way back before all the expansion of around 1967 or so.

I rarely sit through a whole contest, but if it's in the late innings of a baseball game or at least midway through the 3rd quarter of football I'll sometimes tune in if the interest strikes me. I watched the 4th quarter of the Ole Miss vs Miami game last night. It was one of the great games we've had lately, as I had also tuned in to catch the later parts of the Ravens-Steelers and Ole Miss-Alabama games.

200 million Americans like sports.

90 million Americans like music?

50 million Americans like big money?

If some people don't like sports, that's their thing. They don't have to keep telling everyone about it, though.

There are at least two different realms of "Do you like sports?" Professional sports for spectators, and participant sports for the general public. There is also amateur spectator sports - schools, clubs, and whatnot.

You also have the factor of the sports themselves changing over the generations. For example, as a Boomer it drives me crazy when I see basketball players palming the ball, or taking six steps preceding a dunk. I would sooner not watch. I lost my interest in professional tennis when Serve & Volley died - to me, that's real tennis. I don't like baseball teams using seven different pitchers in a routine game.

I love to golf and to bowl, and ride my bike - is that a "sport"? I enjoy watching American Legion baseball when I get a chance, and I enjoy watching profession golf on the telly.
