Do professional sports interest you?

Post Reply New Topic

When I was between the ages of 10 and 12, I had an all consuming intererest in baseball and the Chicago Cubs. I grew out of it at the age of 12, and never watched sports again.

I also, rather oddly, at that age also watched professional wrestling, and thought that it was real.

It is supposed to be an Aspie trait (I think) not to have an interest in professional sports.

How about you?

I am practically allergic to professional sports. As an exception, I don't mind watching one or two baseball games per year, but no more than that. Otherwise, I don't even like to hear the games as background noise. I don't like playing team sports either, but it's slightly better than being a spectator.

For some ason, I even hate the ANNOUNCERS! I just hate everything about it. And people call them HEROS, and act like they are the best of everything. Give me a break!

No! I'm not interested in sports. I try to watch baseball sometimes because it gives me something to talk about with people... and it's sometimes interesting to watch for a little while, but not for much longer than a half hour. Football... no.

Aspects of it are indeed real. Match outcomes are scripted, but what they do to each other hurts bad if not done correctly. And they're not perfect, so injuries happen all the time, some of them paralyzing.

As for me, I LOVE pro sports.

Hardcore Boston Red Sox, Phoenix Suns, Green Bay Packers, Calgary Flames fan here.

I also like the Michigan Wolverines, though they're college.

yes. i collect spotrscards

Heh, I used to do that, and even had some hall of fame baseball players in my collection. Now I can't find them and that makes me sad

RED WINGS RED WINGS RED WINGS RED WINGS RED WINGS RED WINGS RED WINGS!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !

OMG OMG OMG I LOVE THE RED WINGS!! !! ! (I haven't missed a game)

how terrible! the only way to resolve this situation is to start collect again

YAY!! !! !! !! !! I LOVE MICHIGAN HOCKEY TOO!! !! !! !! !

All the men I've ever worked with have been OBSESSED about hockey.

It's pathetic and revolting that it's all they ever talk about... hockey, hockey, hockey... the game... the players... the teams... OY! Can't you people think about something more important for a change? Something that might make the world a better place??

(Okay... the frustration is passing... whew!)

I'm more a fan of their football team.

I may be the one of the few aspies who is a big sports fan. Oftentimes the sports can end up being my obsessions. Still I have very different opinions then most people do when I discuss them. I don't really like to play sports however, just watch.

there's absolutly nothing wrong with too much hockey

im willing to bet that I talk about hockey more than all those guys combined (especially goalie stats), be thankful you're around them and not me LOL.

I wish I WAS a hockey fan - it'd give me some common ground with the people I need to associate with!

I must admit, I'd rather learn to like hockey than get sucked into binge-drinking and strip clubs to bond with those same people!!

*tells everyone a story as she polishes her Zetterberg and Datysuk bobble heads*

football as of late = epic fail, though I haven't existed long enough to have seen them when they were good.

Now im not by all means a fair weather fan, quite the opposite, in fact im a St. Louis Blues fan (epic fail as well) so im currantly just frusterated with both teams.

It's just that whenever I watch them they lose or something bad happens...and when I turn away they win or something, so there's a tendancy on my part to turn away.

Like one time, I was watching UM football. And everytime I was eating something, something good would happen, and bad when I stopped eating. So I ended up eating for 3 straight hours and we ended up winning, although I was very sick at the end of the game.
