I'm an adult (heterosexual) man and I don't care for sports.

[Longgrain]

Is there something wrong with me?

Just asking.....

:hi:

[Endangered Specie]

1. Report yourself for re-education

;).... I dont care much for sports either (and Im not only male and straight, but white and southern... and I can't stand NASCAR)

[Longgrain]

7. I do kind of like Baseball

because of the strategy involved with the game.

But otherwise most sports seem to be back and forth,back and forth,back and forth...

I know there is some skill involved. I admire it. I'm just not obsessed by it, that's all.

[Borgnine]

2. What are you.... gay or something?

Nah, I don't give a damn either. I have The History Channel on during most of this.

[Longgrain]

18. I know the ladies think they got all the problems...

It's tough, for some of us, to live up to the male stereotypes too. I just thought the women should know!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. No

My husband doesn't like sports either. He once tried to learn to like football. He sat down for a weekend of football, complete with beer and snacks--only to find the players were on strike and there was no game! He took it as a sign that it was ok for him not to like sports, and football in particular.

[Longgrain]

19. I have no idea what the rules of football are?

So I guess I'm not alone...:hi:

[Kire]

4. I am, too.

I actually thought I was gay for two years.

[Bluebear]

10. Dude you have no idea how many gay men love sports!

Strike those stereotypes! :headbang:

[Kire]

12. well, that's not the only reason I thought I was gay

but it was one of them

[Bluebear]

13. Ah.

Labels. :shrug:

[Longgrain]

14. And how many straight men could care less...

Yeah i guess it's a Stereotype.

I have a lot of friends, gay and straight, male and female, who love sports.

Me? I just don't care.

Either way...:hi:

[tjwmason]

32. I was watching the rugby over the week-end

6 Nations tournament, 3 joly good games.

It struck me that one could interpret it in an incredibly homoerotic manner. I saw a tad of the Super-Bowl which seemed quite similar; b.t.w. do they actually play for longer than 5 seconds at a time ever? My goodness it was boring.

[AlCzervik]

5. My dad has no interest in sports at all

i don't think you're alone, and no there is othing wrong with you.

[babylonsister]

17. I think that's why I like football.

It was on ALL THE TIME while I was growing up and Dad, Mom, and my 2 brothers were into it. I ignored it in my youth, but after marrying a diehard football fan, I just kind of decided to switch rather than fight it. Weekends are a lot more fun that way for this household.

[mainer]

6. You're every woman's dream man, then.

I married a man who doesn't know the first thing about football. I am blessed!

[Longgrain]

11. Best response.

I'm an artist/ writer; sometimes Photographer.

I'm a single guy. Most women I meet seem more impressed with the body-building sports stuff.

it's hard to find someone who appreciates the more introspective things in life.

[strategery blunder]

8. I'm not into sports either

The only sport I can remotely enjoy is hockey. Football makes me wanna :puke:

I'm a straight white male btw;)

[Longgrain]

30. Thanks for joining the club

I don't hate sports at all...I just wish there was something better...

[Desertrose]

9. not in my book, honey

I'd say your perfect :evilgrin:


DR

[all.of.me]

15. Marry me!

lol

[YellowRubberDuckie]

16. You're perfectly normal.

Skip doesn't much care for sports either. He likes European Football, because those people are soo exciteable. LOL We think American Football and Soccer are boring.
Duckie

[JohnKleeb]

20. Nah youre just different

[Longgrain]

21. ARRRRHHH!

Why is DU moving so slow today!

It's taken me ten minutes to reply to your post!!!:argh:

And to answere your question. Yes I am just different. :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

23. Its bugging me too

I myself love sports, though to be honest I can get damned frustrated because of fucking bad luck.

[Hardrada]

22. I like to watch sports

coached by some women who are friends of ours. Mainly tennis. Not sure where that puts me on a scale. I did not watch the world series per se but listened to it since my computer monitor faces away from the TV. So I like baseball at times. (My Dad used to coach baseball and basketball). My point is that it depends on sharing the interests of people you know and/or grew up with.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

24. My husband actually played football in college...

That Donovan McNabb fellow was one of his teammates.

He's watching Enterprise right now. He never watches sports on TV.

[NC_Nurse]

25. No, nothing's wrong with you.

I think something is wrong with our culture that so many people are so obsessed with grown men chasing a ball around a field. But hey, I'm not in the majority so I guess I MUST be wrong. :shrug:

[Longgrain]

27. I'm not in the majority either...

But a great big :hug: means more to me than rumbling around in the turf.

:hi:

[HuckleB]

26. What do you care for?

I do love baseball, cycling, soccer and hockey. And I don't mind basketball games when watched socially. Football I can take or leave. It's background noise for the most part.

That said, I also enjoy hitting art museums. We've got season tix to the symphony and to a couple of local theatre companies (and, yes, I actually enjoy going), and I typically cannot get into most mainstream action movies.

So... is anything wrong with me?

[realisticphish]

28. nope

i started out that way...but football got me first, then hockey, and then basketball. damnit:)

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Huckebein the Raven]

29. *lets out scream of pod people from Invasion of the Body Snatchers*

just kidding...nothing wrong with that

:)

[borlis]

31. My husband doesn't really care either.

He does love the Cubs, but that's about it. He would rather watch an old movie or some kind of Trading Spaces type show (gets great ideas, has every tool ever made, but no time for projects at our house.)Now I am the sports fanatic in our house. My Dad is a sports nut so when I was a kid, thats what we watched. He had Blackhawks season tickets when I was a kid, so did I when I was old enough. Our oldest son who is almost 12 has the sports gene from my family. He is a pretty good athlete too. It's kind of funny though, many guys would love to find a girl they could watch a game with who would understand it and enjoy watching it also. Leave it to me to find a guy who would rather be watching something else.

[seabeyond]

33. you girlie man

and a liberal i assume. awfully sexy to me

[kick-ass-bob]

34. Then what do you talk about with other men?

Because I am at a loss at small talk - unless we can delve into sports.

Sports: Male small talk.

[flvegan]

35. I hope not, cuz I'm the same way.

Although I do admit to liking X-Games type stuff.

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. I love football, except when my least two favorite teams are in the Super

Bowl. :hi: MrG didn't even watch football until he hung around with me for awhile. Now I've got him sucked in. :hi:

[DemGa]

37. Same here

Sports fascination is just a diversion IMO.

[muse]

38. I know many men like that.

Who don't even know the first thing about sports. When I bring it up around them, they start making silly sports jokes to remind everyone that they don't know a field goal from a strike.

[StopTheMorans]

39. yes, stop wrestling with your sexuality and come out

[KurtNYC]

40. According to Wanda Sykes there is nothing wrong with you

Here's what she says about men and football. "I used to think that football took place in this overbearing male-only environment that bled masculine domination. But the more I attend, the more I realize these football fans could actually be experiencing the straight man's gay pride parade. You see men painting each other's faces in bright colors. You see men proud to wear another man's last name on their shirt. You see some men wear no shirt at all....Hot wieners on every corner as you walk up to the main competition. Men open the back of their trunks for a little tailgating."

[Enraged_Ape]

43. There is an enormous amount of homoerotic ritual in sports

And as a straight guy, it's always made me a little uncomfortable, the same way a heteroerotic ritual of some kind (like, say, the TV show Elimidate) would probably make a gay guy uncomfortable. And so I've never been too much into sports.

[Enraged_Ape]

41. I watched 5 hours of old Battlestar Galactica yesterday instead of SB

There are times when geekness overrules any traditional gender or sexual identity stereotypes.

[whistle]

42. I would just as soon watch old movie reruns as waste my time...

...watching professional sports on television. I am most definitely not gay nor do I object to anyone else watching sports on TV. Last evening, I was engaged in conversation with by daughter-in-law's parents during the first half of the Super Bowl in another part of my son's home. We left together and half-time and all of the information I needed regarding the game status at that point, was conveyed to us in less than 20 seconds.

[intrepid_wanderer]

44. .. obviously ..

... Obviously, you're still hiding from yourself

... in the closet

... denying the truth


OR PERHAPS, you're just secure enough in yourself to make your own decisions vice being subject to groupthink!

BRAVO :toast:

[kiraboo]

45. I think you're probably just an excellent fellow,

much like my husband! I only ever dated educated, handsome, masculine men who would rather stay fit and active than sit on their ass and watch t.v. Married one such and at 51 he's still trim and gorgeous, and still doesn't watch sports on t.v. Lucky me! And I'm sure your woman is lucky too!

[LiberallyInclined]

46. nothing wrong with you...or me.

I can't stand sports of any kind...and i don't like golf or NASCAR either.

[Rob H.]

47. I don't like sports, either

But I'll confess that if I stumble across a soccer game on TV I'll stop channel-surfing and watch for a bit.

[Worst Username Ever]

48. Ditto. Couldn't care less.

Flipped to the Super bowl a couple times to check the score, and that was the first time sports had been on my television since probably the last super bowl.

[Orsino]

49. Got little use for sports, myself.

I can admire all the effort and pageantry from afar, without being tempted to participate. Every few years I'll watch a game (one of the big three American sports), and that is plenty.

My wife and I assume this means I'm gay or something. :-)

[fit4life]

50. It depends on the sport

I love football (high school first, then college, then pro) & Nascar, but couldn't care less about baseball or basketball. Boxing is ok to watch sometimes, but for the most part if football or racing isn't on I'll be watching the History Channel.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

51. The only sport I follow is NCAA Men's Basketball

Besides that I could really care less.

White, straight, male.

My gay white brother, on the other hand - is a raving sports nut. He knows what's going on in football, baseball, NBA, college basketball, hockey, etc. He even has multiple fantasy teams in different leagues with different circles of friends.

For a long time, some of his friends didn't believe he was gay because of his fanatical love of sports.

[Mr. McD]

52. Same here

I have never watcher a Super Bowl. I have tried to be interested in spectator sports but it is so F*****g boring.:)

[movie_girl99]

53. you're what a lot of women would love n/t

[reformed_military]

54. Yes...

And that blouse makes you look fat.

[hollywood926]

55. How old are you?

My boss was just telling me she is looking for a man like you!
