So basketballs ok then
Italian, French, German.
I don't understand why you'd get excited while watching them. I find them all highly boring.
As I am someone who fits that description you're probably asking the wrong person.

Because doing the same from watching fictional characters is better.
I don't even like sports, but it's just entertainment.

As someone who watches and enjoys sports, I will say that not being passionate is the way to go. Don't get overly emotional.

Take the NFL for example. There are 32 teams and only one Super Bowl, so roughly 97% of fans will have their team's season end with disappointment. That is horrible odds, and on something that you have absolutely no control over.

Getting into it when you're actually at the game is understandable, but people yelling at their tv over sports is just embarrassing

As one of those people I think it's totally normal.

I'll take this up another level and admit I enjoy playing sport. But watching? Not for me.

Sports is just a "cool" source of entertainment for nerds.

It is better than fiction, though. This stuff is being done by real people in real time. So it encourages more cheering than stuff like movies do.

Same reason why people cheer for high level skill video game players. Nothing wrong with enjoying yourself and appreciating talent and pure luck.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
So note to self: Do more myself.
People who get passionate about sports are weird. It has nothing to do with you especially if you're just sitting at home

Knew a guy who'd rage and throw furniture around, punch holes in his walls when his team lost and then be depressed for a week
I can understand people who get excited while watching, even though it isn't my cup of tea. I cannot understand the people who actually take it seriously and become legitimately upset or overly excited when "their" team loses/wins.

Then there's the UK where people actually beat each other to death over their favorite overpaid athletes.

I find many spots fans to be barbaric in that they will attack the fans of other teams, and destroy cities if they win or lose.
How quaint.

Hey, I've never beaten anyone to death for supporting shit teams!

First thing I'm gonna do when I get home from work is put some balls on the TV and get passionate.

I don't ever get passionate for sports unless it means I can go to the NFL board and gloat about my team winning occasionally.

I get passionately bored. Does that count?
I think they're normal.
If you need the threat of eternal damnation to be a good person, you're just a bad person on leash.

on another note if you see your kid in the preschool to grade school age in tears because their favorite team/player lost, you failed as a parent.

Good thing there aren't any people who think that. =)

We all have our interests and hobbies.
At one point, games were only for nerds, now look, everyone plays them.
At one point, you had to love sports to be considered, popular, now anyone can be popular.
I enjoy sports, like Snowboarding, Biking, Hiking. I also enjoy watching UFC or other Fighting Sports.
I love Video Games more than most team sports, I would rather watch a Gaming Tournament than most sports.
At the same time though, if people are watching a game, I can enjoy myself watching it and even get into it with the group.
I just don't have a huge passion for the traditional team sports.
I would prefer sports that had more strategy, like Paintball and Adult Laser Tag.

Utter drivel.

My parents are wonderful, and I still get upset when my team loses. Why would I shift the blame for my passions on to them?

I don't watch sports. What opinion kould I possibly have?

Only on gamefaqs would you get this many negative responses on being passionate about sports LOL. I won't theorize why that could be :)

Playing a team sport at least once should be mandatory in high school tbh. There are WAY too many people in the USA missing out on important life lessons. And getting too out of shape as well.

I've witnessed people show more passion and excitement at their first-ever hockey game than I ever have, and I've been watching for almost 30 years. I guess that's a me problem. I'd get exhausted being that expressive.
