Should a man be ashamed that he's not into sports?

I'm talking about a friend of mine and not me at all. Do women look down at a man that doesn't like sports?

Personally I like sports, but just a few years ago I didn't like them at all. So there's nothing to be ashamed about.

No, I never cared for it. But I do think that sports are very good for both your mind and your body, I'm just too awkward/incompetent/disinterested for it.

Oh, shed a tear for the loss of innocence, for the forsaken spirits who aches... in us. Cry for the heart who surrenders to pain, for the solitude of those left behind!

Think you got what it takes?

In fairness, it depends what replaces the sports. If it's cross dressing or something like that then you probably should be ashamed. In fact, you should probably just end yourself.

It's the mighty penis laser, the cause for every scream. It is better then anything you've got cuz it's made out of a laser beam.

I don't think it's a major prob. Watching others doing sports? why would a man feel shame about it, if they're not watching. It's not like it contributes to their well being. Would be different debate if whether they're embracing it (the sport itself) as one of the hobby, then it'd make a little difference. I see the op is about just general 'fan' thing... so, no. I don't think it's a prob though

Watching sports is a waste of time... better to play them than watch them. So yeah, don't be ashamed.

<--- Sports not-caring-about...er. And proud.

I couldn't think of a bigger waste of my time than to sit around watching sports. I couldn't fathom looking up to someone as a role model whos crowning achievement in life is to cary, kick, or throw a ball better than anyone else. Training a cat to use a litterbox is by far a more worthwile and meaningful act than any ammount of ball handling.

..... but we can still be friends.

Irony.

Sport. It was invented so people could feel like they are participating in or watching something interesting when they could be doing something that actually is.

Long before the guitar or the piano, even the pen or paint brush, there was the ball.

I'm not a big sports fan or anything. Infact watching anything besides hockey bores the shit out of me, but I have to disagree with your sentiment. Physical activities are fun. Skateboarding, BMX, even basketball, and especially hockey are fun as hell and good physical exercise. How morbidly obese would this world be if it wasn't for sports? Humans are competative by nature, so natually when one caveman picked up a stick and threw it, another caveman came along and tried to throw it further. Whalla! the birth of sports. It's not some conspiracy to make weaker people feel less important. It's just what we are as humans.

Not being into sports is great, because then you have more time for other things. I like sports, but I don't often find the time to watch them.

My mother is the one in the family who's not interested in sports. I'm sure she'd rather be the one playing the sport, even if it's just petanque or something.

To be honest T2D, my comment wasn't meant to be a serious appraisal of sport as a human phenomenon. I was in keeping with the humorous tone of the thread (even i'm surprised by how badly the subject has gone down )

I actualy don't have a problem with sport if thats what people like doing. My real problem is the sports world. I suppose i'm not in a position to take sports (due to a lack of interest) as seriously and in a po-faced manner as some people do. I suppose a lot of people wouldn't be as passionate about modern art as I am, a lot of people simply dismiss it out of hand - but I suppose i'm treating sports exactly the same.

Besides, the games I can come up with in my head seem much better (to me at least) than anything reality has managed to conjure up. If none of the following don't make it into this years London Olympics then frankly I shant bother watching it... :p

Monster truck pin ball
Elite collar popping
Black metal forest combat
Catch the Boris Johnson
Emerging unexpectedly from bushes and screaming at random passersby
Chav-apults
24 hour endurance vuvuzela blowing
Football (played inside a really small one-bedroom flat)
Grenade golf
Shark bumming (if there aren't any sharks available, ducks will suffice)
Oil rig racing
A game involving two teams and an imaginary ball
