I was ahead of the curve -- never watched sports if I could avoid it.

I rarely watched anything sports related ... all the time before marriage, and all the time after the divorce.  For 20 years, I was "forced" to watch Redskins football.

She got the Redskins in the settlement.  LOL!

I always liked playing sports rather than watching them.
That is why I'm probably going to get a new knee soon.
I watched (past tense) some football, but I suppose the
sports interest wore off when the money became the predominate
focus of sport.
Don't get me wrong I watch America's cup racing in a second
and that is some money!  and my old sail boat could at best do 15 kts.
so almost 50kts  is exciting.
But I really don't care who wins.
It is a game, not a reflection of how good or bad
my country is.
As soon as it becomes that sort of contest, I lose interest.
Sport is not war.  Too many people want to make it that.

I love sports highlights.
The things some of these guys can do is amazing.
I’ll watch UH football when it’s on TV.
Played ‘em all growing up so I love seeing what I wish I could do.
Whole games are too long though.
I tune for last quarter in NBA playoffs, last 9 holes in golf Majors, 7th game of World Series, second half of World Cup finals.
I will watch the Super Bowl though and am fanatic about the Triple Crown Races. At least the first two. The third if there’s a triple crown on the line.

I never had any interest in watching sports, even the sports I play. I would be lying if I didn't admit that there are entertaining plays and matches but I just never found pleasure watching in person or on TV. I do watch the superbowl but just for the commercials.
