I think I am the Lone Ranger

I never watch sports. I was never interested in sports, either as a player ,or a  spectator

 

My husband really isn't all that keen either, nor my son.  I never found it interesting .  My daughter watches a bit.

 

I once was quizzed by a real enthusiast about not caring for sports.  I told him someone will win ,and someone will lose, and the rest is just a detail, for me...I thought he would choke...ducking and running for my life ,right now

Re: I think I am the Lone Ranger

I've never been into sports until I lived in "sports" territory.  LOL.  I used to live in a town that had a big university that had sports teams.  I fought it at the time.  I now live near an NFL team.  I've given in and learned about the sport.  It's one of those if you can't beat em, join em.  I won't say I love it, but I have learned to like it.  I can join in the conversation at work instead of being clueless.

@cherry@bonnie f

 

Bluntly...no, I just force myself to care usually.

We have no plans today. DH may ask me if I mind if he watches, and of course, I don’t mind!

 

When a team I love is playing, I usually cheer them on at the very end of the game! LOL

One of my neighbor's dad ,was athletic director for West Point. We live within a few miles of  a Big 10 stadium, and she never went to a game ,either.. Guess she got enough of it at home

I have always been athletically inclined and enjoyed watching sports.... until my later adulthood when I realized that many sports just involve a bunch of grown men pummeling each other for obscene salaries, or winners winning by doping, or over-the-top, rabid fans, who leave me with my head shaking as to their priorities and common sense.

Re: I think I am the Lone Ranger

DH and I like sports and will watch some of the game in between movies on TCM. I will browse the Q throughout the day. I made vegetable beef stew yesterday so that's what we're having. Need to run to Best Buy for a new printer today. I do like sports more than I dislike them.

Re: I think I am the Lone Ranger

I never was a sports fan, but did try to play basketball in high school until this huge girl knocked me down and I cracked my ribs. I took that as a sign that someone my size has no business playing a game that giants play.LOL I don't like to watch football or basketball on TV so tonight I will be cooking for my guests and watching what I like on my TV.
