It always have a been very interesting for me to see a girl watching a match so Do you watch any sports? .. soccer matches , volleyball etc you name it ..

footballforums.com/off-topic/497-girls-do-you-watch-sports-vote-yes-no.html

One thing i've learned on my skin is that girls who participate in sports are less likely to drop out of school, more likely to go on to college, and more likely to graduate from college.

They tend to avoid a whole host of risk-taking and self-destructive behaviors.

So please have few other images about SPORT instead of the one .. of a guy with a beer in his hand

    Not very often. Once in a while I might watch a game. But I would rather play one than just watch. Never mind if I'm not any good at sports. Footballs bounce off my fingers. I miss basketball hoops. I can't get past first base with a bat.

    But it's a good way to flirt with guys!

    Rugby and Martial Arts are the only sports that have ever been able to catch my interest as far as watching goes. I might watch a cricket match if it's people I know playing, but I wouldn't watch professional cricket.

    For me, sports = Boooorrrring. Waste of time, waste of money, waste of effort.

    Thank goodness my husband is not a sports fan.

      it's a point of view .. yes , but really .. doing some sport it will never be a waste of effort
    2. SweetViolet
      Waste of effort. Pointless. Without redeeming value.

      I particularly detest it when regular programming is pre-empted for some sporting event. Why not put all the sports on one channel and leave the rest of them alone?

      I dislike organized sports intensely.

    IMO sitting in the stands or in front of a box watching highly paid others playing games is a waste of time, and when you pay for a seat it's a waste of money too.

    I do NOT ever watch these overpaid, drugged, prima dona athletes performing their war based games from either the stands or from my coach, and my husband has no interest in them either. We are both attractive, active and physically fit people in our 50's, who consider all celebrity team sports to be boring, and we cannot fathom why anyone has an interest in them at all. Yet, these so-called athletes are worshiped like gods. Worse still their fans profess they are "home" teams and hype themselves with phony baloney "loyalty" to teams with ranks are full of "professional athletes," who are purchased at the highest prices possible from other jurisdictions, and then relocated to live in the home team city.

    I was home schooled and I had farm and household chores to do. All of those chores involved both physical labor and athleticism and fun. Many were chores that required the team approach and cooperative attitudes. Aside from that I learned how to swim, canoe, fish, train, ride horses and drive them in carriages, train dogs, kayak, dance, sing and I took drama classes, etc. I went on camping trips and hikes and rafting expeditions. All of those activities are intensely physical. I graduated both from highschool and from college with honors grades without watching a single team sport game.

      My opinion of pro sports mirrors yours. And it is interesting that you touch on the war connection, as I was thinking that but didn't mention it.

      I can think of lots more interesting, entertaining things to do than watch a bunch of guys throw balls after 20 minutes of scratching their own.

      at some points i really agree with you , like "Yet, these so-called athletes are worshiped like gods" sports these days are more then just a game, but we have to be positive and believe in a change, sport to become a competition not a business

      ("I do NOT ever watch these overpaid, drugged, prima dona athletes performing")
      I really prefer watching sports sometimes instead of a boring movie

      ... we have to be positive and believe in a change, sport to become a competition not a business

      We who? Have to be positive believe in a change, sport to become a competition not a business? Are you kidding? Don't you know that suckers are born every minute?

      I don't have to be sucked into believing in anything. All professional sports are war based (gladiatorial style) competitions that are driven by big business. Paying to watch gladiatorial sports is big business and that's not going to change any time soon.

    I love sports, I'm still active in some and I have learned to love watching Football, Soccer, Hockey and every other sport that my husband and his boys are into.
    I had no choice but to learn to enjoy it.
  9. ranist22
    Yes, world cup cricket and sometimes tennis.

    I'm watching the Cubs/Sox preseason game right now. (GO CUBS!)
  11. Anok
    No.

    I play them instead.

    Like TT and SV - I seriously dislike the overpaid athletes in professional sports. I will however, support local school's by attending events or making donations for their athletic programs.
    1. LynneaUrania
      YAY! Now I will have to get Anok into a good badminton game...the Ninja and the Freaky-doodle!

      We also participate in active sports at the community level. Here there is no big deal about who loses or who wins. Teams are formed on the spot thus the composition is never static, allegiances and animosities aren't created and fun is had by all. There is no big money investment made into equipment and accoutrement. We fund raise and find local sponsors for what's needed. We have great fun playing baseball, basketball and touch football, as well as, tennis, badminton, ping pong, golf, equestrian sports, fishing derbies, boating races, etc. You name it: we've got it and none of it is competitively driven or built on money based models.

    Yes. Or no. It depends.
  14. sunnyberra
    No, though I did go through a very embarrassing phase where I watched racing
  15. forloveorfunny
    Yes. I watch golf, baseball, and football, but mostly golf.
  16. Floormodel
    is poker a sport?

    well it should be.
    I watch/listen to baseball, it's always been my favorite.
    I watch football (my Lions make it tough though) and the occasional hockey game.
