International I Hate Sports Club

Just to wrap up this discussion, possibly (which would be nice of me to do, since I started it, no? :) ): Perhaps I was a bit too general in my disdain for jocks/fans on the forum. My concern was about the view that if certain member(s) were nicer to the sports fans, we'd have more people in the fo...

Has anyone here felt compelled to watch sports for these reasons (or any reason)? Do you worry about missing a historic moment in a game, or that the "game of the year" will be on and you missed it? Also, do you feel out of place during World Series, Super Bowl, or March Madness seasons w...

:D Wow ! I finally found others like myself. I thought I was about the only GUY on the planet to hate tv sports. I LOVE IT ! Oh no.. LOTS of people hate sports! :) They are just, on the whole, quiet about it. plus society acts like you're some kind of freak if you don't like football, basketball, a...

true dat!

Turns out the rumor that i had been killed in a flash fire in a waterbed factory wasn't true. Turns out their may not have even been any rumor in the first place. Well, i've been busy. That doesn't mean i hate sports any less though. And over the past few days i have put in great effort for you guy...

Give the fish weapons too, and let's see a real contest!

BWAAA HA HA HA HA HAHA that's true.

Yeah, I did forget about Jesse Ventura -that's a great example! He said THAT?? That really reveals his character. I've learned that when the dad is a jerk, very often the kids turn out to be jerks. I wonder how he got elected. I guess it's not that hard when the people who vote for you don't actuall...

I'm sure it must happen in the U.S. too but I can't think of any examples right now. One of the members of our local city council used to be a famous WWF Wrestler --one of the Killer Bees tag team, Brian Blair --who used his popularity and name recognition to get elected. He was voted out not too lo...

Makes sense to me! :) Golf is about THE MOST boring thing ever televised. It just never occured to me before. You never get confronted or cornered by strangers and quizzed about your knowledge of golf. Somehow that has escaped the clutches of the chronically obnoxious. It is on TV a lot though and g...

Feed our troll though. He helps a lot.

yeah. We need to get him a nice bridge to live under. : )

Players, fans, league officials, and sports commentators may call such behavior extreme and unacceptable, but those in charge frequently fail to take action. So driven are some adults to be affiliated with a winning team or player that they overlook misbehavior (drunkenness, drunk driving, vandalis...

No, that was just a joke. But maybe we should.

Holy Cow! Maybe they should stop playing football, eh?!
