International I Hate Sports Club

I am a college football player and I was just writing a paper on opposing viewpoints of sports in schools. I know that proponents of sports will say that sports teach the importance of skills like discipline, dedication, hard work, and teamwork just to name a few but I didnâ??t know what you people had to say about it so I googled â??I Hate Sportsâ? to figure out what arguments people on the other side had.

What I have found here for the most part disgusts me and I pray to God that you are not Americans and if you are that you remain an overwhelming minority.

The fact is sports arenâ??t simply games. They are educational tools that are just as important to human development as learning to read or write. They teach you how to be a man, they teach you how to win, they teach you how to depend on others and also to never let your team mates down.

In fact, I bet I can go back in time and tell you what day you lost your testicles and still havenâ??t found them to this day. I bet you were in gym class in elementary school and stepped up to bat and struck out. You were then ridiculed as you should have been and quit like a pussy only to go home and play with your prancing ponies and Barbie dolls.

I used to think the same way about my grades, but, and I thank God for this, the things I learned in sports taught me that when I have a weakness to never quit and to keep working at it until I make it a strength.

Another thing that pisses me off is when you say athletes aren't successful. Let me tell you something. You can get a 4.7 GPA by blowing all the teachers you want and you'll find out one day that when the going gets tough you don't have what it takes to succeed.

Youâ??re all mad at yourselves because your whiney attitudes wouldn't fly in sports. Thatâ??s why you pussed out. You also lack the basic competitive drive that is, for the most part inherent in all Americans (thatâ??s why we love sports). Also, quit bitching because (like all the other times youâ??ve lost) youâ??re being horribly defeated by a sports loving majority which thankfully defends this country and the liberties you take for granted.


In closing, I'm glad you weaklings have found a support group for how sports ruined your life because a big muscle-head ran through your studio en route to an amazing super bowl victory and broke your fucking easel and all your paintbrushes.

Too bad you're wrong.

OH SNAP!

Wow...... Sports clearly do teach you to be a man.... I mean look at this manly-man coming into internet forums full of people that don't even know him to tell us all what wimps we are. Keep waving those brass-balls around.

Captain America? Please. America Sucks, go home yank. Most of us are PROUD not to be americans, and with a shitty attitude like yours, I'm sure you can see why. Enjoy getting nuked some day, Suck-Ass.

If by being a man and winning you mean using brute force to crush and oppress overs then yes sport does teach you that. If by teamwork you mean using others as mere tools to reach your selfish goals then yes sport does teach you that. We use something called intelligence to get our good grades, ever heard of it? Freedom in the usa is dead thanks to the sport loving majority. For your next google type in "patriot act" and "defence authorisation act". Also consider getting hold of a book called "1984" if you really want to see were we're going. Luckly for you I am a Australian, another "sports mad" country.

Why would someone make it to college and then play football? It doesn't make sense. It's like a businessman being successful enough to earn a huge profit and then betting it all on the lottery.

We are NOT a minority! Most Americans are sick of sports and mind-numbing sports fans -it's just not obvious because we don't get in YOUR face and make it known.

As Maslow said, "If your only tool is a hammer, soon all your problems begin to resemble nails." I'm betting you're an asshole on the field and in real life. I'm betting you use the same skill sets used in football in all areas of your life. I bet you're a real joy to be around. Prick.

See the total bullshit they get brainwashed into thinking? Sports are as important as learning to read or write?

EXPLAIN FUCKING HOW, YOU STUPID JOCK! Oh yeah, kicking a ball and chasing it, that really helps you in life!

holy crap do i have a lot to say to this piece of bull shit... i will sum as much as possible but jocks piss me off so much i may not be able to control myself (i apologize in advance for talking to much)

First! I think that collage and university is for smart people, if you are an idiotic jock, you are NOT aloud to say your in a collage or university. Most people work their ASSES OFF to get into a good institute for LEARNING and then some assfaced jock shows up and chases a ball around like a dog (dogs are cuter and smart tho) and they get into one. Some people need scolerships to afford to get into a LEARNING post-secondary school, but most are wasted on JOCKS!

I also am EXTREMELY thankful im not an america, DIE! no offence to americans, but most are jackasses (see this guy) TEACH? Sports teach you nothing besides being an idiot!!! TEAMWORK!?!?!?! every time i was ever forced to play sports in gym (i kicked ass) but since most guys (no offence other sports haters, you dont apply here) are assholes and have their own head shoved up their asses, they will not use "teamwork" and they will NOT pass the ball, or whatvever your playing to a FEMALE! i dunno, maybe guys are chicken that girls are better, dont know, i just know that im not a wimp, not a guy, and i have never struck out at baseball, i rocked, i have beaten up jocks in my high school. Yes im still in high school! I am sick of the sterotype that if you dnot like sports your a wimp, im the OPPOSITE of a wimp, and i may be a girl but that has nothing to do with why i hate sports!

The minority thing? WRONG! most people i know hate sports! and the others know not to piss me off by saying "did you see the game last night?" or something like that cause i will shove my fist in their face. Yes im aggressive, thats the way i am. But im smart! im getting an award tonight for being SMART, not being an idiot jock who needs to realy die!

I work hard for my grades, and yet... hmm... there is a jock in almost all my classes... hmm.. they would be failing but whats this? The teacher is a sports fan (idiot) and pushes his grade up so he can still play in the game next week. but of course my other smart teacher doesn't like sports and so the jock is failing... HA! he actually asked for me "help", idiot... I help people that deserve it! not jocks!

i am one of the most competitive people i know, if i play sports with friends, i usually win, im very competitve at everything. If you like sports, play them, i dont play much, but when i feel like it i do, i dont care if i was better then micheal jordon, i will NEVER be on a sports team, sports should be played when you want, NEVER on a sports team so you think your actually "part of something", no, sports teams dont matter.

So in my opinion asshole, you really need to go find your brain where ever it was knocked out on the playing field, and maybe JUST maybe put it back in that fat head of yours and get an F-ING LIFE!!!

sorry people, i hade to say all that, i have more to say, but i will stop, let other sports haters reply i may have babbled a bit, sry, i just have a lot of angry toward these people... we all know this guy is an idiot, so tell him please, apparently he just doesnt get it... retard.........

wait, one more thing, i just noticed his "in closing" remark... Sports have ruined my life, not because of the reason you said, i would have kicked that idiots ass... lol, but they have ruined my life from the waste of tv, money, and peoples brains! people should be learning important things, watching normal tv, and using money for more important things, like helping the poor people the americans are killing in other countries for no reason!!! MY COUSIN IS IN THAT STUPID COUNTRY THAT AMERICA DESIDED TO ATTACK FOR NO REASON! HE IS A CANADIAN TOO AND I SWEAR TO GOD IF HE JUSTS HURT I WILL PERSONALLY COME TO AMERICA, AND KICK YOUR ASS ALONG WITH THAT STUPID PRESIDENT OF YOURS!!!

That is all, rock on my sports hating people! reply to this asshole! bye, for now... and again so sorry i talk to much................

I play sports sometimes and am actually quite good. The actual playing of it I think is where you can "learn" teamwork and all that other cliche bullshit. But to glorify a bunch of overpaid fucks on television or in a stadium, that IS simply a pointless game that teaches NOTHING! What practical value does it have to society, it achieves NOTHING. My hate for sports stems from its overhyped glorification and misguided values it instills in sheep, not the actual playing of it. Why colleges have a sports team that they expect people to give a shit about is ridiculous.

Glorifying sports players that have nothing to with your life, what a silly concept. It's as stupid as entertaining yourself by watching people eat.

Hey Canuck, how about you shut the fuck up and go fuck ur French fag. Hockey is the only thing that makes your country of worth in the first place, Canada blows.

As for the nerds again, how about you just accept that sports DOES help you in life and DOES have a meaning and DOES touch the lives of other people. Just accept that you have no lives and that you can't play sports because you suck.

Hey Capt. America, you braindead sorry excuse for a human being,
it's says in your post that you were looking for 'viewpoints' from people who oppose sports, what was the paper for "Close-mindedness 101"? It seems to me that the only viewpoints you were looking were the ones that agreed with yours! Am I right?
Of course, when you found this website and it didn't agree with your ideals then you started in with typical juvenile name-calling, trying to convince everyone how wonderful sport's are which is so very typical of a sports fan who drools over the television all weekend long. Take a tip you college-ignorant waste of oxygen, if you don't want to be known as a stereotype, don't act so sterotypical!

Question is: Why the fuck do you sports fans get so worked up whether or not we like sports? Why the fuck do you care? For that matter, why is it any of your fucking business? Being a college student, you should be able to figure it out. Oh wait, you're probably one of the college boneheads who only knows what he was told to memorize out of the book being read to you.

Unless you haven't figured it out yet asshole, any monkey can be taught to throw a ball and any dog can learn to fetch it, but when they need to waste money on a new stadium, or need someone to run the physics simulations so you and you're fuckheaded buddies can win another ugly chunk of tin, who do you think is gonna handle that? Not one of you dumb fucks! And who the hell do you think designed that waste of money stadium that you and your homosexual "teammates" play in? Well who?

Lastly, if sports are so fucking wonderful and do so much for humanity, then why haven't we heard of the sports team, who with their ability to throw a ball and their "teamwork" cured cancer or AIDS or world hunger or solved the homeless problem, just for the "good of humanity". But don't worry, we have people called "scientists" that will once again take up the slack and deal with it while everyone else is at the game sucking down beer and hot dogs watching a bunch of overpaid closet homosexuals pat each other on the ass (for "good luck"), while all the fans act like they just witnessed the second-coming of christ for fucksake!

Go fuck yourself you ignorant college dunce!

Sorry, that is wrong. The correct statement is: Sports blow.

You LOSE! Good DAY, SIR!

Great how you give no examples of any of these.

Helps you in life? What, making a ball move? Oh, yay. Let's not forget that it teaches you that you can only be a winner or a loser and that anybody who thinks differently from you must die! Really helpful...

Has meaning? Explain, please.

Touches the lives of other people? Well, the touching part is correct. Ugh. As for touching people's lives? It may consume some people's lives (like someone we know here), but touches their life? No. Ohhh, no.

Again -- You LOOOOOSE! Good DAY, SIR!

Canadian_Hockey_Hater: YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK! YOU ROCK!

Oh, thanx for letting me get that outta my system! I loved that. Okay, everything is wrong with "Cap't America's" gigantic road apple of a post, and he's probably one of the "comparitively smarter" ones.

I was very successful in sports, and only later did I develop a strong dislike for lets just say "team sports." When I look back, I really had more fun just playing unofficial "intramural" sports!! Without a raving madman screaming what a scumbag I was for missing a block, for example. That's not how you deal with kids. You look them in the eye and explain to them what they need to work on. It doesn't mean that you need to be "easy" on them at all! They WILL respond to that I have found.

"Team sports" doesn't teach "discipline, dedication, hard work, and teamwork" at all. Not at all. It's just the same "social politics" that we see in everyday life. The coach has his "pets" who repeat every word he says like gospel, and the coach rewards him. I don't know about girls' teams, but I'm just speaking from experience. Our cap'n seems like the type of locker room jock who snitches on his teammates, repeats all the coaches slogans, and just basically ass-kisses for playing time! Not to mention swaggering around the locker room to impress his male teammates. lol

He appears like a bully who finally meets his match, and doesn't like it much! And how about this horseshit for intelligence >>> "The fact is sports arenâ??t simply games. They are educational tools that are just as important to human development as learning to read or write." He should be shot for that one! lol Much of what he says borders on the political, which isn't where we need to go with this issue. I do feel comfortable to say that he reminds me of an idiot who "worships the gov't," "worships uniforms," "worshps badges," etc., but pisses on the Constitution if it gets in the way of those icons.

"Macho vs. Gay" references, very typical in male jocks >>> "I bet I can go back in time and tell you what day you lost your testicles" ... "You can get a 4.7 GPA by blowing all the teachers you want" ... "go home and play with your prancing ponies and Barbie dolls" ... "you weaklings have found a support group."

I was touched when I read 'Why I hate sports' by Anne Erickson. It reminded me of an incident some years ago when I Nebraska football player got angry with his girlfriend, punched her out, and dragged her down a flight of stairs by her hair. A "jock" who didn't even belong at the university to begin with! Enough is enough! Screw you Mr. Badass college football player, and those who support your BS!!

CHH, betcha youre hearing tons 'bout them Sens

I'm not a real man because I don't like sports and I don't have testicles....DAMN! and I spent all those years fighting for my country in the ARMY looking for my balls.

Guess all the months in SOMOLIA an HAITI were for nothing, cause I didn't play sports like you....(giggle) captain america

So because we don't like sports we are gay and weak? Sorry but I just don't like sports just like a husband might not like Soap Operas. I'm tired of my husband sitting on his ass watching tv. I'm tired of the WE crap like he is part of every damn sports team. He brings it up over dinner like a wife brings up what happen to Luke and Laura on General Hospital. If you step in between him and a tv he freaks like he missed the most important play of the year!
I hate the fact that while I am watching my son play t-ball I am hoping he is not planning a future in it because I don't want him to be some money hungry player who refuses to play because he can't get $325,000 a year for playing!
It ticks me off that because I don't care for sports and you do I HAVE to be gay and weak! I am neither, I just hate F-ing sports in general. I do enjoy going to a Hockey game or a Football game once a year maybe. But why must my life be sports, why do I have to eat while listening to ESPN? I would much rather hear CNN than some damn ex-player talk to yet another ex-player about why he thinks a certain team will win. Who gives a crap! Let them play the danm game and look up the score later!
