How can I politely turn down an invite to see a sports game with a friend?

I asked my friend to brunch tomorrow since we were supposed to hang out tonight and I didn't feel well so I passed.

He responded with "why don't we go to this sport game out of town?" I don't like sports and I don't want to be locked into too much time with him and his wife because they fight all the time and it makes everyone miserable.

My inclination is to walk on egg shells with my response because he is sensitive and has a short temper.
 
I think you should go.. make this small sacrifice, he probably will really appreciate it. With him and his wife arguing a lot, he probably needs a good friend to talk to..
Next time, I guess you can politely get out of it. But this time, I think you should go.

But if he was a friend.. wouldn't he know that you don't like sports?
 
How about, I don't think I will be up to it tomorrow thank you anyway or I am so sorry but I have other plans already.
