International I Hate Sports Club

It's only popular because have you seen the s*** on TV? Have you seen how "smart" people are now, on average? Sports is the only thing their feeble minds can grasp. All because the better television channels got a reputation for being for the nerds in which many dislike greatly. Now stadi...

Your guys arguments are compelling. But the thing is, these stadiums get approved, and passed, by the public. They go in knowing taxes are going to raised, and the stadium still passes. What's that mean? People love sports and the idea of a new stadium excites the majority of people, thus why it pas...

If it's any consolation, Blackdog, there are more of us that don't care about sports than most people think. Only 70% of the population watched the superbowl (despite the continuous press coverage) and half of them, 54%, tuned in just for the commercials. It was just the hype that interested them -...

Sadly, for you guys, that's how it is in Texas, where the series is based.

Hello everybody! I'm new here at these forums, so this is my very first post. I'm so glad I have found a forum where people have the same sentiments as I do when it comes to sports. Football players are the lowest form of life on this planet, lower than slime-mold. For far too many years, decades i...

and why are classes like calculus or algebra needed for an english teacher, police officer, or lawyer? You could go in circles with this one on many classes and jobs. Why is chemistry needed for someone who wants to go into business? Everyone takes classes they won't need later in life. The point is...

lol, you guys should be the ones that are mad.

Super Bowl gets enormous ratings, stadiums are paid for, sports is a HUGE part of American pop culture.

Things are good for me as far as the subject of this forum goes.

It's been pretty quiet in here.

Am I going to talk to myself?

Maybe you don't think it's needed

But why the F would you ban it?

LMC is right You guys are looking at sports stadiums from too narrow of a perspective. Do you really think these stadiums would be built if they were that costly? No. Directly, yes, they cost a lot. But stadiums provide a countless amount of jobs. Not to mention the business they help bring in to su...

Man, some of you lack basic reading comprehension skills. I've stated over and over that not liking sports is ok, and that I'm not trying to convert anyone. What I disagree with is your guys views on many, many different points. I'd also like to add that sports don't need any new fans, as shown by t...

blackdog, you take life way too seriously.

You're in 8th grade, lighten up a bit. Be a kid while you can.

Not liking sports is fine, and you seem to have a less extreme viewpoint than most here on the topic.

However, you're taking people's criticism for not liking sports too seriously. They're likely just messing with you.

I'm willing to bet that's not true.

I don't know. Look at the Olympic results.

All I know is that NBA is the premier league in the World, and it's not going anywhere.

Followed by European leagues, who also aren't going anywhere.
