There are lots of threads in the Lounge that could easily go into one of the groups. All the cats threads, of instance, which I find inane, could very nicely go into the pets group. But you see, I just hide those threads and carry on. Not everyone has to like what everyone else likes, but you don't have to rain on other peoples' parade either.
This thread doesn't criticize people who don't like sports--it criticizes people who criticize people who like sports--that's a big difference.
