International I Hate Sports Club

Liberal, as I figured.

Good lord. I wish I could say I'm shocked, but considering what type of people many football players are, I'm really not that surprised. :( Infuriating that the coaches just shrugged it off as another case of "boys being boys". Um no..."boys" don't act like that...brain-dead jock...

No trophies.

I have a nice "Employee of the Year" plaque from 2005. And frankly, as a mature adult, that will mean much more to me than any silly sports trophy ever will.

If my grandfather, or anyone else for that matter told me I was gay for not watching sports, I would just remind them that it wasn't me transfixed with watching other sweaty men on television touch each other and slap each other on the ass.

Best answer!

Sports or no, it sounds like your family is playing "favorites" with their children. If you destroyed something of your brother's, wouldn't they punish you? You should try to have a sit-down conversation with them...as adult-like as possible...and explain the inequities that you see in thi...

Welcome to the site!

That Solar Challenge sounds awesome...I hope you had a great enough time there to make-up for your horrible hostel-mates!

.... I found it annoying that make physical education a must in all of the branches of education including college which I was when I finally thought I was free of anymore mandatory classes of useless exercises and children's' games. Now, here I am freshmen in college still playing the good ol' spo...

I think you've pretty much missed the point. :? Your analogy of anime isn't a good one in this case. Loving anime isn't considered "the norm" in our world...and you aren't shunned or picked on for not liking it. (Heck it's probably the reverse, but I digress.) Go to the Letters pages of sp...

The thing about NASCAR is, if they stopped trying to treat it like a "sport" and instead made it a competition of who can build and drive cars the fastest and best, then I'd actually have an iota of respect for it. But no...we can't have competition in this country based on knowledge or in...

At first, I feel really embarrassed, since this is my state.

However after reading the article, I realize it was only at Duke and UNC-CH, which were the rivals of my school, NC State. So we're innocent!
Besides...we'd rather use the water to cool the on-campus nuclear reactor!

It's a nice chat set-up overall.. glad I got to try it. Hope these trolls stay out though. Apparently I can't get to it from work though. I guess the server has it blocked or something...which is odd seeing as I can use IM services. Oh well. If I'm ever home with free time at the computer, I'll be s...

Here in NC, summer has been brutal...record high temperatures and the worst drought in anyone's memory. I'm so happy it's finally coming to an end. On the internet portal, iwon.com, they had a poll on what folks' favorite thing about fall was. The top two were pretty obvious...Cooler Weather and Lea...

...I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to watch something that comes on after a football game, waiting endlessly for the stupid clock to run down, (2 minutes left? HAH!), then when it finally does, wait through the endless celebrating, and maybe THEN I can watch what I want.... I know exa...

Wait...you got a job interview on a Sunday? Weird. Anyways...best of luck. I'm sure you'll do fine. You're still young (from what I've seen you post elsewhere), so even if it doesn't work out, just view it as a learning experience. No one is great on their first job interview. You'll be ok. :D

Sounds to me like he's not just a sports addict, but he's just plain damn RUDE!. Calling you up to check the scores, as if you don't have anything better to do? You should check the caller ID and not answer...if he later asks why, tell him you were on the jon. :P And then coming home, not using the ...
