I'm always utterly perplexed about the extremists on either side of an argument like this. Being into sports, whether watching or participating, is fine. Not being into them is absolutely fine too. Obviously, any activity you become too involved in to the detriment of other areas of your life is something to be aware of, but that can apply to many things besides sports.

He even averted a minor war simply by asking the opposition leaders not to attack each other. Ben Cohen has been a passionate ambassador for gay rights and an anti-bullying campaigner for over a decade now. Sport was arguably also one of the major factors behind ending Apartheid in South Africa, and has helped to begin healing centuries of wounds between the people there too.

I can live with that.

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.

[/uncompromising swivel-eyed bias due to an inferiority complex]

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.
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

My mistake. I thought I sensed resentment in your post. Thanks for giving my name a cool abreviation though. I feel like 2Pac :)

I agree some people get way too serious about it. We had a massive riot here last summer when our team lost the Stanley Cup. The city literally went up in flames. I don't think those people were hockey fans though. They were just people who wanted to riot. We kind of have a reputation for that. Seattle is the same way. It must be all this fresh Pacific NW air. Hey there's an Olympic event for you, Rioting!
.this is our bomb.

I was worried it might come across that way, thats why I added that pretend BBCode postscript at the end of the post. I pretty much agree with both your and lawynds reasonable sentiments. I suspect you are probably right about peoples reasons for rioting to.

Count me in. And we can use people that make duckfaces instead of ducks.
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?

A man with no interest in sports, whether playing or watching them, must compensate in some way. For instance, chopping wood, or operating power tools. Riding motorcycle. Building additions onto their house, using an arcwelder, fucking fat chicks. Starting fights. Ending fights. Knife throwing. Training dogs and children...dog fighting, horse racing. Gambling, smoking hand-rolled cigarettes, junk collecting.

However, I know guys who do none of those things, but love sports. I call those guys little prissy faggot bitches.

How could you do this to a man so close to being cured?

I believe this thread is a result of the narrow mind of our modern society. Sports are assumed to be something that the men do, therefore all men should be interested in them. Cooking and housework on the other hand should be done by women following the same line of thinking, right? I beg to differ, however, not all men must be interested in sports and not all women must cook. Disregard the opinion of some people in some cases ;)

Yeah, it's like the whole "get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich" thing. I wouldn't trust no woman to make me a sandwich. How the hell did anyone come under the impression that the average female knows the first goddamn thing about making a sandwich? A casserole, maybe. A good gal knows how to bake a cake. That's about the limits of my tolerance for a woman in the kitchen.

To me, the real definition of a man is how well you can build a sandwich. Can you build me something I might be want to call a sandwish? Do you understand the laws of conservation enough to spread the mayo and mustard until it covers the entire slice of bread? Balance is the key to sandwich composition. I've just slammed 3 beers, I'm gonna do a shot, and I'm going to mow the fucking lawn. I seen nothing but women mowing lawns today. Damndest thing. They probably like sports, too.

Not at all. Speaking generally, I think it's silly to define yourself primarily in terms of your hobbies and consumptions, or for this to have a large bearing on how others define you. Ideas, beliefs, virtues - these are what matter.

What trips my trigger is men who rail against sports, artsy shitfucks who waste their breathe defaming a fucking activity. An activity that brings people together the same way that music does.

I hate the Chicago Cubs, NY Yankees, and New England Patriots as much as I hate Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, and Coldplay. All for different, meaningless reasons. But I respect all of them.

An activity that brings people together the same way that music does. I hate the Chicago Cubs, NY Yankees, and New England Patriots as much as I hate Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, and Coldplay. All for different, meaningless reasons. But I respect all of them. "Sports are fun to play, a waste to watch." "Music is fun to play, a waste to watch."[/quote]

I believe this thread is a result of the narrow mind of our modern society. Sports are assumed to be something that the men do, therefore all men should be interested in them. Cooking and housework on the other hand should be done by women following the same line of thinking, right? I beg to differ, however, not all men must be interested in sports and not all women must cook. Disregard the opinion of some people in some cases ;)

So sad we are still in archaic times like that. Very true.

The nicest men I have met are not into sport and they don't have any less "manliness" because of that.

Why do people even care if men are into sports or not? Live and let live.
