I don't care about any sport
Should I take on airs and post a thread about it or not?

1. Yes.
Please, tell us why you hate a specific sport and why we are foolish and/or ignorant for enjoying it.

3. Well you see, because I don't like sports myself
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 07:52 PM by jpgray
I have a theory that watching sports somehow must either weaken people's minds or appeal to the weak-minded. That I enjoy relatively passive entertainments similar to watching sports of course doesn't enter into it. My objectively worthless, valueless diversions are somehow nobler by virtue of my enjoying them. If I don't enjoy something and therefore don't partake in it and therefore have no knowledge of it, clearly I am the best person to infer what sort of deficiencies it causes or compensates for.

5. That's a pretty convincing argument.
Would you also like to tell us which import cars you feel are either overpriced or overrated?

9. Funny. You're lucky I don't hold grudges
And I'm lucky that childish, haughty disdain doesn't fall under my personal definition of grudgedom, since I plan to follow you with it until the end of time.

:eyes:

:D

18. The Kia Sportage sounds like it was named by Pauly Shore
I'm not sure if that's superficial enough to warrant my hatred, though.

4. Try getting into hockey or lacrosse.
Trust me. You WILL enjoy them. And, no, hockey is not full of fights. That is sooo '70s. Now, it is a game of skill and speed. Trust me. I wouldn't lie to you.

IIRC. Hi, Fox Mulder. Love your user name. David Duchovny is my pretend boyfriend. So, I obviously love the X-files. Just sayin'

14. It would depend on your definition of "sport" would it not?
Isn't Poker a sport? If poker can be a sport well then all bets are off. ANYTHING with a little competition in it.........

16. Should we debate the Wittgenstein-ian semantic essence of "sport"?
Or is this thread really worth that?
