How much are sports a part of your life?

[ Edited ]

No kids to take to games for us, or go see, but my DH likes to watch the Lions & Tigers and golf and hockey on t.v. As a teen basketball games for school were an event for me. I used to love those, I even played, with old rules that are in the attic now.

 

So I just got to wondering how much sports are a part of your life?

We have no kids to take to games either.  And neither of us are in good shape to play anything -- sadly.  But DH is a sports freak.  He loves to watch football, hockey, basketball, golf--- you name it.  His absolute favorite is baseball.  Me -- not so much.  But I try to be a good "sport" about it!  Smiley Wink

LESS AND LESS AND LESS

 

The college kids and the professionals, their criminal records, the illegal drugs :-(

 

Look at your cable bill....THANK ESPN and other sports channels for the costs :-(

 

There used to be  a word called "amateur"

 

Amateur definition, a person who engages in a study, sport, or other activity for pleasure rather than for financial benefit or professional reasons.

We love sports in our house, especially anything with the University of Tennessee & Peyton Manning.  Football is our main forte.  Come fall we don't miss a home game in Knoxville & will attend a few away games this coming season.

Huge -- I love sports!!  I was Daddy's little girl.  He took me to the Jets and Mets games till I became a Giants and Yankees fan, so he switched and took me to those. Later in life my son did the whole black belt tae kwon do thing, plus football and basketball.  I travelled up and down the entire east coast for his basketball tournaments and scouting events.  Actually, he was an average basketballer, but I wouldn't trade that time we spent together for the world! For me today, love, love, love college and NFL football, and still love Yankee baseball (but I have no interest watching any other baseball teams - lol).  Only like college basketball, not NBA at all.

Never played sports as a kid.

 

Enjoyed going to my kid's sporting events.

 

Don't support professional sports and the criminals they employ. College isn't far behind.
