One sport is good enough. You don't have to love it to death and act like a belligerent (example, our own BostonRedSox). But guys who find sports distasteful...that's just wrong. :(

And the real sports fans want your type to disappear. Sports are suffering because of the crap surrounding the big games, such as halftime shows and commercials.

sport is civilized warfare, it appeals to the caveman in all men in ourselves, our competitiveness, desires, and rages

i'd take it a step further and say men who don't like violence, sex, and warfare, are broken

You posted this poll on a geek forum. What kind of results did you expect? :confused:
You mean, did I expect mostly negative replies because the majority of ATers require a puff from their asthma inhalers to make it across their bedrooms? I suspected as much, but a poll never hurt anyone. :D

Professional sports are suffering because the professional athletes are a bunch of overpaid primadonnas. They think far too much of themselves and, unfortunately, so do some of their fans.

Let's not forget about the loaded bats and illegal use of steroids to enhance athletic ability. Sports used to be fun with down home people who enjoyed playing the game and not playing for their next advertising contract.

Professional sports is bunk nowadays. You are obviously young and can't remember when it was a joy to follow a team.

Professional athletes will never get a nickel of my money if I can help it.

I :heart: sports

I used to be all about basketball when Michael Jordan was playing, but I don't think it's nearly as entertaining within the last few years. Far too many ball hogs and people obsessed with money instead of playing the game.

I still love watching football. I love watching it, I love playing it, it's just F-U-N.

Yeah I feel like a loser since these guys just play some recreational games and get paid more in a year than I will make in my whole life, but darn it I just can't stop watching!

Men who don't like sports aren't broken
Men who don't like sports are "fixed"
Either they enjoy SportsCenter
Or their testes have been nixed.

If you like to play a sport but not watch it, that's good enough. You ain't broken.

..I don't care who won..lost..or what the score is. Its a latent omosexual thing..especially football. Guys all dressed up in nylon chasing each other around trying to get "the ball" jumping on each other..all the arse grabbing. rah..rah..rah..go team go.

i don't really follow any sports, but it's nice to sit back and watch a game sometimes. or play. I'd rather play than watch of course (so long as everyone I'm with isn't 10x better than me. heh)
