I think people do watch some sports is because if the game is great, at least they can go home happy. It's like a music concert or something like that, really... if it's bad, then you're just gonna leave.
I can understand that you don't like sports... that's completely fine. Everybody has their likes and dislikes at the end of the day and you can't make people like what you like. |

I don't really watch many sports and I don't get supporting a team that you just happened to be born near (the only team I support is the team I chose, Notre Dame), but watching sports in itself isn't so confusing. Watching a bunch of players with certain stats fight each other while a strategist watches and tries to outsmart each other can be fun. |
I'll typically watch football games, specifically NFL games, if those are on. Other than that, I'm not much into any sports, although I usually do watch the sports reports on the news just to see how the local teams are doing.

I think sports fun to play -- really fun. But watching other people play sports? No thank you. I think people get way too involved in sports games, and the people who genuinely get angry because their team loses? I can't help but laugh at that kind of reaction like what are you doing?
Though, I do still have my favorite teams. Like for the FIFA, I'm rooting for Germany. And in the NFL my team is New England Patriots. But I don't like actively watch these games. |
I like how Notre Dame handles it - party if you win to celebrate, party if you lose to commiserate.

the point of sports has always been to get people drunk

just don't watch it if you don't find it entertaining
it is as simple as that |

The strategy of sports is far too complicated for me though. When you get really into it every sport is super intense and requires more thought than even things like Pokemon battling. |

for what it's worth I do enjoy the occasional sporting event every now and again. |
I watch sports for the sake of watching people try their hardest to win. I don't really support any team, per say, in the FIFA World Cup. But I do want USA to go far. Us Americans are pros when it comes to blind pride.

The thing is, though, the only reason it's such a good memory is because I really, really care about this team, and when you care that much you can't help get affected when they lose. It may sound silly to put so much emotional investment into something vicarious, but just know that when this team came to DC in '05 they probably became the first thing my dad, brothers, and I were all equally passionate about. So yeah, I get peeved when my team loses, and I make no apologies for it. It's a necessary part of a wonderful thing, and I hope to pass it on to my kids someday the way my dad passed it on to me and my brothers. |
The only sport I really care about has been baseball. I was never athletic at all so I rather enjoy sports than have to play one.
As for the World Cup this year, I've only been keeping up with it cause my brother is really into watching it right now. He puts it on during dinner and when I'm eating dinner I'd rather eat with family than by myself, so sometimes I stuck with it. I admit though, the best game I've seen so far was when US beat Ghana Monday. Such a good game and that first goal was amazing! |

I was listening on Skype with my friend, the feed for the USA game when they were playing Ghana, and by the time USA kicked off, they had scored over here. a 30 second delay indeed. :O
