Men Who Hate Watching Sports!

Killer Pigeon · 08-01-2011 03:09AM #1

I HATE watching sports. Soccer, Rugby, GAA, etc.. I just hate watching it, I find it boring. I might watch some major sports events like if Ireland was in the World Cup but other than that I'm just not interested.

If I'm ever around with mates they always talk about soccer teams, players, league tables and all that jibber jabber and I feel bewildered because I don't posses a large amount of knowledge about the bleedin' fuseball. For instance, just last week I found out what to be 'relegated' meant. Some people I know know every little detail of matches that happened like 20 years ago and I'm totally gobsmacked!

I just don't get it! It's boring!

Any other guys out there who don't conform?

Edit: My hate is mainly aimed at field sports (Soccer, Rugby, GAA, etc..).

I'm not normally interested in watching sports apart from if Ireland are playing much like yourself. Sometimes I will go to the pub with the lads to watch the soccerball league championship cup semi-quarter-final but not very often.

I'm sure there are plenty of men in history with as much masculinity of Chuck Norris and didn't like following sports.

what about winter olympics, everyone likes that, bobselding and that sort of ****

scientific1982 · 08-01-2011 03:22AM

I'm with ya OP. The only good sports are when people are kicking ****e out of eachother.

howamidifferent · 08-01-2011 03:23AM

Likewise, have never understood the interest in any sports...
I find them all to be boring to play or watch.

Much prefer a good book or listening to good music to entertain me.
All that yob gathering just makes all men look like retarded cave men.

Ghandee · 08-01-2011 03:23AM

Was thinking of a smart ass answer to give, but you know what OP?
I'm with you on this, not much of a sports fan myself if the truth be known!

What gets me is the folk who say something like ' you dont like soccer/rugby? How long have you been gay?' Etc....

I'm wondering which is the more macho thing here?

Watching 22//30 men wearing tight shorts, chase each other up and down a field, grappling at each other, chasing balls, or doing something constructive for 90mins or so, like power wash the shed?

/returns to his will and grace DVD, and blows nail varnish dry!

I hate watching football. Find it very boring.
Rugby can be interesting at times but don't watch it often.

Although I do love watching F1 and other such motorsports such as FIA GT1 series, WRC and the Dakar Rally which is going on right now!

I was never really a big fan of team sports you could say... More into individual sports.

If you don't like sport that's cool but insulting all those that do suggests something else

Rockn · 08-01-2011 03:24AM

Wouldn't say I hate sports but I've no interest in watching it.

Sisko · 08-01-2011 03:25AM

Its easy to chat to football heads when your not one yourself, you just have to say something like

"Did you see that ludicrous display last night?" and

"The thing with Arsenal is they always try to walk it in"

People who don't allow embedding of youtube videos are pricks!

Doesn't work for me. Most of my friends in college are football freaks. Lately they've been into NFL for some weird reason!! They end up talking about what happened in the game last nite and such and I have absolutely no clue what they're on about. I just sit there listening to them at times or I just leave and find something else to do.

It's pretty easy. In a nutshell:

The people put the ball in the place and go wooo.

whatsamsn · 08-01-2011 03:33AM

Not much into sports myself.
I never can understand why some people are mental about football. Nothing wrong with liking it. Watching it. But to be so passionate about it? ... stupid.

I think as kids we grow up being mad about something. Most fall into football. Me I was into WWF :cool:

JayEnnis · 08-01-2011 03:35AM

I play sports (Football, Hurling, Soccer, Rugby, Athletics) but I have no interest at all in watching them. Can be a bit awkward at training sometimes but you get used to it.
