I don't like sports, any of it, and I'm a guy.
Does this make me weird or abnormal? Because I certainly feel that way and that I'm ostracized because I'm not into sports. I don't care about it, never have. I'm not fat or lazy, I do go outside and get exercise.
I seriously hate sports, hate playing them, hate hearing about them, and I hate it when I am forced to watch them on TV.
I don't understand how people are so into watching a bunch of guys tackle each other or throw balls around or fight over getting balls. I especially don't get how people get SO into it, like screaming at the TV screen over a fumble or something, I can understand if they were betting money but most of the people I know who do this are just pissed off....over a sports game on TV. Why do people idolize people who just play with balls and wrestle each other?
It really affects me because I hate it when people ask me what my favorite team is or who I think is good on the Cavs this year and I just have no idea what to say and it's really embarrassing. I hate when people ask me questions like "did you see the game last night," or "did you see that pass that so and so made?" and I have no idea who that is or what they are talking about. The only things I know about athletes are their legal troubles I see in the news.
Do I have to pretend to like sports to fit in? Should I just force myself to get into it and watch ESPN all the time and memorize statistics and who was traded to who and so on?
I worry this will effect my chances of getting a good job or getting promotions or just fitting in, in general.
