Do you like any sports?



England are in the final of the euros this evening so apparently I must watch it despite not liking sports. I've decided I'll watch paint dry though so I'll pass.

On some porn sites, I think they normally show a lot do what looks like sexual contact in rugby. Other sports, as well

It is just about the most boring sport.

Lets all chase a ball around for 2 hours so we can end with a score of 0-0! ENTERTAINMENT!

Honestly, I'd rather watch golf.

I used to watch NFL football occasionally (mostly just my own team and then the playoffs/Super Bowl). In college I was pretty into NHL hockey. And I'd occasionally watch soccer (mostly just World Cup in the tournament stage). Most other sports have always bored me (and I suspect I only ever really found hockey and soccer interesting because I played both while I was in high school/college).

But pretty much everything I used to watch found ways to piss off, annoy, or otherwise drive me away (mainly by being boring), so at this point I have no real interest in any sports.

I kind of hope England loses today, though, because the never-ending torment and pain of the English is far more amusing than the smug self-congratulatory gloating they'll be doing for the next few weeks if they win.

I've never been all that into any sport, although I've occasionally enjoyed sports-entertainment and entertainment involving sports.

I enjoy watching a game of American football on occasion, but it's not often. But I always watch the Super Bowl (the actual game more than the commercials or half-time show).

Outside of that, no; I'm not big into sports.

It was clear the topic is about Association Football and not American Football, so no need to name the distinguisher.

Also, my statement works either way. The US can also be very weird in its Football culture in more or less the same way.

(Forced) Patriotism and sports are just a weird combination to me.

Yeah as soon as I saw who TC was I knew he meant soccer. I think I saw the other day the official term for americans football is grid iron football.

As an American I understand the rest of the world calls it football. As confusing as it can be I dont feel it's right to make them call it something else to appease us

Honestly we should change the name of ours. It doesn't make sense. Only time a foot comes into contacr with the ball (intentionally) is field goals

I love sports though I'm not a big participant. My main ones are cricket and tennis though I follow football too (mostly Premier League). Funny thing is I despised football at school because I was horrible at it and our games master in PE forced us to play it almost every week because he was a footy nutcase. The only time we focused on something else was during track season, which I was good at. I only got into football as an adult through listening to BBC World Service the radio commentators are much better than shitty TV pundits.

As for the Euros LOL. As soon as it went to penalties I knew it was curtains for England. The best team won in the end though. The manager was awful in that whole match with his defensive garbage but it's the players copping most of the abuse. Even the penalty takers he got wrong.

This guy gets it. I'm from England the birthplace of English. I acknowledge other English speaking countries terms but won't change to appease them.
