If someone states they hate the ballet, or video games, or art, or any number of other things no one bats an eye. Announce you hate sports and people treat you like you just killed their grandmother. This is frustrating.
I know exactly what you mean. In Australia sport is pretty important. I was told before I got here (in Victoria) to choose an AFL team to be accepted! It’s worse to bag the Australian cricket team than declare the insanity of Christianity. I have total empathy.
Lol I completely understand that. Don't worry its not you.
I don't hate sports -- it just seems like an incredible waste to me. Why do we pay grown men (and now women) millions of dollars to play children's games?
Sports and everything involved,is tightly interwoven in the US lifestyles. Myself,I like to watch a good game of pool,the shots, angles, and how the players direct the cue ball.Basketball,Baseball,and Football,do not hold any interest for me,nor does Hockey. I'd rather go read a good book,or a Technical manual.
