You do realize it's the "old man" who's not only being juvenile, but childish?
Why are you even on this thread? you're not making any point other than "I'm better than you because I don't like sports" such a naive, ignorant statement of yours.
yeah that's very "mature" greencom.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news JIMBO, but we ARE better than those who like sports. You (think?) that sports is the most important thing in all the world! Sorry, but it's not!
OK, I love playing Chess. I love looking at Chess sets, and someday I want to get a really good Chess set instead of the cheap one I have now with plastic Chessmen and the folding chess board made of cardboard. I would like a Chess set with a nice wooden board and either wooden Chessmen or Chessmen carved from stone like Onyx and Jade or some other kind of gem quality stone.
But, as much as I love chess, I know that Chess is not the most important thing in the world, that there are things that are far more important than Chess (sorry, but football isn't one of those things) because chess, like football, is only a game.
I also love listening to classical music, like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, etc. etc. but again, as much as I love classical music, I know it's not the most important thing in the world.
Normally, I would not have a problem with people who like sports, and enjoy watching a game on TV or at a stadium. But, unfortunately, there are far too many sports fans who think sports is the most important think in all the world. Sports is destroying our schools, and lives of those going to school who happen to not like sports.
I don't go around beating up on people who don't like Chess or who don't like classical music.
Oh! But you sports fans! People have been beaten and raped because of sports. Kids have been sodomized in the locker rooms with broomsticks while the coach looks on and laughs!
Yes, these things have actually happened in some schools.
But I have never heard of students getting beaten and sodomized with broomsticks by members of high school Chess clubs, or science clubs, or art clubs. That doesn't happen.
So, why dose it happen with sports?
And please, don't give me any of that bullshit that sports in PE is important because of exercise and physical fitness. There are many other ways to get exercise. When I was a kid living up in Minnesota I enjoyed riding my bicycle, and even though my left knee was crippled up and I walked with a limp, that didn't stop me from hiking in the woods. I would have to stop and rest for a few minutes when my knee starting hurting, and then, I would continue with my hike.
And our family went on camping trips during summer vacations to the sate and national parks. We hike on nature trails, and I enjoyed swimming and rowing a boat, many fun ways to plenty of exercise.
So, don't give me any of that bullshit about physical fitness.
Yeah! A fine example of how sports promotes physical fitness!
OK, I'm fat, but I don't have a big beer-gut hanging down over my belt and causing my pants to slide down on my ass!
Sorry JIMBO, but there are things that are actually far more important than sports.

Yeah! The only reason you were allowed to stay in school is because were are good at sports.
But, I surmise, that if you had a crippled up leg, and were lousy in sports, you would have been kicked out of school.
Yeah! I got suspended form school because I failed to climb a stupid rope in the gymnasium, even though I was passing all my other academic classroom subjects, like SCIENCE AND MATH!!!
And, it made no difference that I was able to read at high school and adult level when I was only in the third grade.
Since my parents paid SCHOOL TAXES for books I was not allowed to read, then, I would go to the public library to make up for it.
You expect everyone to bow and scrape to you because you were a star athlete?
GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!
And yes, you are a pussy-boy because when you were in school, you were a jock-bully who liked to beat up on kids where were smaller and physically weaker than you!
So, that make you a bully AND a coward!
YA GOT THAT, PUSSY-BOY???
