Do you dislike sports?

PSU · February 27, 2015, 12:27:28 PM

If so why?

I know most people here like them, but the few who don't? Why would you dislike them? Thats like disliking pizza or disliking water.

Naru · February 27, 2015, 12:29:56 PM

I just like baseball. Every other sport can suck a dick.

Azumarill · February 27, 2015, 12:31:41 PM

i like sports. hockey and basketball are cool as shit. i just think some of the other popular sports are stupid and boring. soccer, american football, tennis; i cant watch. just too boring.

It's sad that some people choose to dislike sport, because it is a choice-participation in sport releases dopamine in the brain, it literally feels good for everyone if they actually try.

Word Wizard · February 27, 2015, 12:38:27 PM

Doesn't benefit me and I find it a waste of time.

Playing sports? No.
Watching sports? Yes. That's boring as shit. The only exception I have are "extreme" sports like skateboarding, BMX, snowboarding, longboarding, etc...

maverick · February 27, 2015, 12:41:09 PM

I can get into it if I care to.

its such a great workout, too

big sponge · February 27, 2015, 12:54:13 PM

No, I played soccer/football for eleven years.

Sandtrap · February 27, 2015, 12:56:50 PM

I don't particularily dislike them. I just don't give a shit. And I'm not fond of the overemphasis placed on them. There's nothing wrong with sports if that's your thing. And there's even nothing wrong with some competition.

But people take it way over the top.

Mat Cauthon · February 27, 2015, 12:57:24 PM

I've no interest in them, but I don't dislike sports.

I enjoy watching/playing.

I was originally a fan of American football but over the last 2 years have been insanely invested into soccer.

For my American team it's Portland Timbers

England it's Manchester City

Elai · February 27, 2015, 01:03:50 PM

I like playing sporta because I'm good at them. Watching is fucking boring though.

Luciana · February 27, 2015, 01:05:33 PM

The only thing I cannot understand is watching sports. I don't see the fun in it.

People get invested in teams and all that. That's the real reason really.

PSU · February 27, 2015, 01:06:15 PM

Ok so we can assume that most people here like playing sports.

So heres another question.

Why do you people dislike watching sports?

Luciana · February 27, 2015, 01:07:21 PM

I can understand why people dislike watching it. I can't watch baseball at all on TV because it's just so slow paced and the commentators sound like they want to kill themselves.

However playing it is enjoyable. I think it's because of the direct interaction. Much like a lot of people don't enjoy watching Let's Play's for the same reason.

Depends on the sport.

But most of the time I'd rather be playing it. For example American football and baseball are really boring to watch, but fun to play.

Becauae it's fucking boring watching someone else do something you enjoy. It's akin to watching someone play video games, I'd rather do it myself.

Yu · February 27, 2015, 01:08:54 PM

I used to play basketball a lot, and soccer to a lesser degree. Don't really care to play them now, and watching sports is boring. I rather b engaged in playing the game than just watching it.

If you're not particularly interested in the sport, it can be boring as hell to watch.
Just like you'd be bored watching a film you have no interest in.

Gotta disagree with both.

I enjoy watching professionals play something I enjoy at the highest level possible. I'll watch Halo pros play all the time. Its entertainment.
