International I Hate Sports Club

You've got to get yourself a compilation of Larry Niven short stories. (Sci. Fi.). Feel free to thank me later!

It's common knowledge. Very few Australian players have played in the premier basketball league in the world, the NBA. So you don't watch all the games yourself to accurately assess them for yourself then, do you. Looks like I was right then - you're just full of shit. "Common KNOWLEDGE" ...

How do you even know that? If you really do know that for sure, then you must really waste your life watching basketball on TV from around the world. Alternatively, you're just full of shit.

Wow resolvent, that's fascinating. I've never thought of the World Solar Challenge in Capitalistic vs. Socialistic terms before! Now I must admit here that I'm no political expert, and that I've never even heard of "Game Theory" before, so I must concede your superior knowledge on these su...

How's this fellow sports haters, I heard some great news on breakfast radio recently - they were saying that the NBL (Australia's "National Basketball League") is going through some difficult times at the moment, and it seems that they are scaling back their operations! Apparently there's ...

Yes, yes, exactly! Watching sport is like watching paint dry - such a pointless waste of time!

I've got a bit of a theory that the obsession of the masses with sport is largely media driven. The media loves sport because it sells. There's buckets of money to be made from sport. Perhaps whoever publishes those encyclopedias also puts out specific sports publications, and so is just getting in ...

I think there's a lot of truth to that. Although, I occasionally enjoy a few drinks myself, but even then I STILL think football/sport is boring!

They should put football bores in the ape house at the zoo. Nobody will be able to tell the difference, except that the apes are probably a bit more civilized. You got that right. There's definately something UNcivilised, something MINDLESS about an ugly mob of football/sports troglodytes. Especial...

Hi RR. You know, it's been 9 months since that unfortunate backpackers trip, (I really should get online more often!), and although the World Solar Challenge is one of those mindblowing things that rises above all that riff raff, that backpackers experience remains a good reminder to me of the sheer...

Hey no worries dude, I thought it might have been something like that.

G'day CHH & Ray. Hey if you's are interested in the World Solar Challenge, have a look at the website - http://www.wsc.org.au It's a race for solar powered cars from Darwin to Adelaide - 3000 kilometres (approx 2500 miles?). At the finish line here in Adelaide there's all the cars on display, an...

Thanks heaps for your welcoming messages, fellow sports haters - especially - Fitz301, Skul, & abitagirl.

I seem to be in paradise now - no footballers in this backpackers anymore, just regular nice international people to say hello to.

Hey, captain america, are you still looking for an opposing viewpoints on sport? - well here's my theory - "sport brings out the WORST of human behaviour". Evidence for this theory can be found in the bulk of YOUR ORIGINAL POSTING on this subject. You seem to think that loving sport gives ...

Hi fellow sports haters. This is my first post. I googled "i hate sport" just for the hell of it last night, and was so happy to see this site come up. I've come to the city to see the "World Solar Challenge" (http://www.wsc.org.au), and so am staying at a backpackers hostel for ...
