    I've never played a sport before other than in gym class. I am not athletic at all and I don't even like to pretend I am. I do LOVE watching sports though.

    I used to be forced to play a lot of peewee sports when I was in Elementary School. My mom said she wanted me to do it because she wanted me to be friends with the people on my team. Sadly, I hated every single person on my team and they hated me too. That obviously answers the question of whether or not I'm athletic as well. And for watching sports, no; they're all boring. I especially hate it when other people watch sports when I'm around because they're so loud and oh my god shut up it's just a touchdown NO ONE CARES.

    There's quite a few that I'm interested in, such as Hockey, Snowboarding, Skiing, Motorcross, Surfing, Rock Climbing, Street Racing, and Rugby, but have yet to try.
    The one's that I personally have participated in before would be: Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Dodgeball, Swimming (it was an unofficial competition), Football, Hiking, a few Footraces, Cricket, and if you consider them to be sports, Skateboarding, Cycling, and Rollarblading.

    Do I consider myself athletic?
    Meh, if I get back into shape then maybe. . . But not really. :x

    I honestly can't stand watching sports. I've tried to keep up to date with some of the teams in the NHL, for example, and just couldn't bring myself to do it.

  • when I was younger my family/school forced me to do team sport which due to my special needs suck at. but karate helped with that. So I guess I am not that athletic.

    I do not watch sport on tv.

  • I do like watching sports on TV and on the stadium, but I would consider myself a lazy person when it comes to me playing sports or other physical activity (I remember in school I failed PE twice).

    Have you ever played a sport and if so what sports? - what ever sports there where in school's PE (even failed it twice), aside from that I have never been interested in playing sports

    Do you consider yourself athletic? - no, more of a lazy person. I would rather play DS or surf the net than play sports, including during sunny days

    What sports do you enjoy watching and what teams do you like? - I like a few teams, since I mostly watch Football. I support my local team, Seattle Sounders FC, and also the team of my southern neighbors, Portland Timbers FC. I also support my national team, USA.
    Usually depends on what tournament I'm watching, or if it's a single match. I will usually pick one team (it doesn't have to be the best team or most over liked team) and support them.

    I also watch NFL (which I personally call Americanized Rugby - since NFL mostly resembles that sport) I like Seattle Seahawks. Don't like many of the other sports.

  • yes I love sports. In high school I played Soccer and Golf and a couple years ran indoor track. I was never the fastest and definetly not the strongest but I worked hard so i improved a lot. I would consider myself athletic but I've been a bit out of shape since I graduated last June. I still play pick up games of Soccer and go golfing a lot though.

    Sports is also the thing I watch most on TV. mainly Soccer games and Golf tournaments (surprising right) but I'll watch other sports. Snowboarding is one of my favorite sports to watch that I am not very good at.

  • All references to football in this post are toward soccer not American Football.

    Have you ever played a sport and if so what sports?

    I play Basketball and Football recreationally every so often. Obviously I've experienced various other sports through PE (Gym) Class.

    Do you consider yourself athletic?

    I have an athletic build, but no not really. I'm not fit at all.

    What sports do you enjoy watching and what teams do you like?

    I enjoy watching football and I support my local team Middlesbrough FC. I also have soft spots for Manchester United and Real Madrid, but neither of them come close to Boro.

    I also watch a fair bit of basketball and support the Chicago Bulls, but I'm not too bothered about the specific teams in comparison to football.

    The only other thing I watch large amounts of is Formula One, I support whichever team Raikkonen drives for (currently Lotus). When he was out of the sport, I just supported Ferrari.

    I'll watch tennis occasionally too, I like Nadal but obviously he isn't a team.

    Not really, I only play sports when I have nothing else to do or when my friends invite me to play with them, mostly basketball. But I don't consider myself athletic at all.

    What sports do you enjoy watching and what teams do you like?

    I enjoy watching Football and Basketball mostly. My favourite basketball team is Miami Heat, I've been a fan since 7th grade and I don't think that will ever change. I also like the Brooklyn Nets and the Houston Rockets. As for Football, I always go with the NY Giants, they're the only team I like and bother to watch. If they're not playing then I really don't watch Football.

  • I played Softball in most of my childhood, Badminton during my freshman year of high school, and I do swimming as well. I want to try out Archery, as it's an interesting sport to play.

    I watch baseball, football (both college and NFL), soccer (only world cup), and most of all, NASCAR. I'm also into other motorsports like IndyCar and ARCA, but I find myself following NASCAR a lot more than any other sport.

    Many. But since in Sixth Form you don't have to do Rugby etc. if you choose something else, recently its only been Football and the occasional game of Squash. Also some casual cycling (or slightly more effort made when in the gym).

    Do you consider yourself athletic?

    I think I have a degree of natural athleticism. I used to be a decent long distance runner when I was 10-14ish, without putting work in. My build (tall, lean) is suited to that sort of activity. However seeing as my favourite sport is Football and my control is awful (although if I was a goalkeeper it'd look good compared to how bad I can be with my hands on occasion), I don't often come across as that athletic.

    What sports do you enjoy watching and what teams do you like?

    Football, mostly. I support Manchester United, but also have on occasion enjoyed seeing my local team (Carlisle United) play. Seen MU once but it was very expensive and the atmosphere was...well...uncomfotable. I also tend to have a favourite team from other major leagues - Real Madrid, Milan / Napoli, and Borussia Dortmund at the moment. I do sometimes watch the likes of Barcelona play when there's nothing else to do and its on t.v. I wouldn't seek out a stream on the internet for anyone except United though. Possible England if they were playing a decent team (I'd rather watch them get beat comprehensively by Germany than scrape a win over Ireland, tbh, as the former would be a more entertaining match).

  • Have you ever played a sport and if so what sports?

    I had done Karate for around 5 and a half years and I did at least 3 of baseball.

    Do you consider yourself athletic?


    Yeah, I guess so. I work out.

    What sports do you enjoy watching and what teams do you like?

    I very rarely watch baseball, if it's on in Australia I'd watch it. I like the White Sox.
    Also, I've gotten into AFL in the past two years due to friends. I've followed West Coast Eagles since 2003 and I believe AFL is probably one of the greatest sports, period.
    I'd love to play it one day.

  • Have you ever played a sport and if so what sports?

    Erm... here's the list I guess:
    Football (soccer), Taekwondo, Rugby, Basketball, Canoeing, Rowing, Karate, Rounders, Handball, Tennis, Badminton...

    The list goes ooooonnnnn yo

    Do you consider yourself athletic?

    If only. I wish I was. I mean, I love playing sports and if I'm invited I do go nearly all the time but because I'm not in the most pristine shape I don't do as well as others. I do try going running nearly every day however and do attend taekwondo classes every Tuesday. I also play football with my friends whenever we meet ]-up.

    What sports do you enjoy watching and what teams do you like?

    I watch football whenever it's on TV or if its Chelsea, whenever I can (internet etc.) KEEP THE BLUE FLAG FLYING HIGH

    Basketball can be fun watching too I guess, and I also watch taekwondo sometimes since I actually understand what they're doing now and how everything works. Tennis whenever Wimbledon or the ATP World Tour tournament is on.

  • Have you ever played a sport and if so what sports?

    At one point I had a list of all the sports I loved playing in my profile, and there must've been about two dozen on there. The only two I've played competitively though are baseball and golf, and they were only for one season each (I'd much rather play for fun than in an organized setting). Above everything else though I love playing road hockey the most- I'd play actual ice hockey if I could skate :p

    Do you consider yourself athletic?

    I've always found myself in an odd position, as I'm good at the majority of sports I've played (including being rookie of the year and an all-star in my one year of baseball), but I'm anything but athletic. I always loved surprising people in gym class at school though, since I was usually one of the last people taken for team sports, but ended up being better than most people I was playing with. I was also able to get an A in my final year of P.E., which I was probably more excited about than any other academic accomplishment I'd had up to that point, haha.

    What sports do you enjoy watching and what teams do you like?

    If it isn't basketball, there's a chance I love watching it (I've given basketball a chance on numerous occasions, but I can never find myself interested in it). I could spend all day talking about all my favorite teams from different sports, but the main ones I follow are the New Jersey Devils in the NHL, the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL, and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB (though, I haven't followed them much this year). There are also quite a few association football teams I follow like the Vancouver Whitecaps, Chelsea, Juventus, Paris St-Germain and AC Milan, but I don't have one true favorite.

    I love playing sports. I recently got into our school's volleyball team, but I'd have to say I'm better at badminton. I'm decent at basketball as well, despite my height and the fact that I look like I can easily fly along with a gentle breeze. I consider myself to be very athletic, honestly, but I rarely watch sports on television.

    I played football earlier in my life, and I currently play baseball.

    Do you consider yourself athletic?
    Yes. In my Gym classes I've always been the fastest, strongest things like that. Last year I was voted the most athletic in the class aha ;D.


    What sports do you enjoy watching and what teams do you like?
    I mostly watch football and a little baseball.
    I like the Jacksonville Jaguars since they are my home team. And the Yankees in baseball.
