Level 8

I've been to one American football game and one Australian Rules football game. Both in the 1970s, and each time with someone who knew what was going on and could explain stuff. Since then — nothing. I can only remember the name of one footballer, and that's because his dad has the same name and they both played so the name has been around for a long time (Gary Ablett, for Aussie rules fans). Don't know any others. I knew the Patriots were playing in the Superbowl because a long time ago I lived in Massachusetts. Didn't know who they were playing, though.

I've never cared for sports in the slightest, they all bore me to death. If I am sat down to watch them my eyes just glaze over.

I too have no interest in (American) football. It seems to me that two guys are standing, one behind the other, the guy in back sniffs the first guy's ass and a fight breaks out! Football is too violent! It should be more civilized like ice hockey.

I see what you did there.

Please elaborate.

You need to look up a bit that Andy Grivitth did it was called " What is was, was football

I openly abhor ALL spectator sports.

Does that include NASCAR.

not if I could drive but id rather do rallycross

NASCAR I take it is car racing? Have never seen one, have not watched television for nearly 30 years, I stopped in part because of all the telecast sports.

@MikeFlora that is even worse

It's as meaningless to me as religion.

Level 4

Nope. I care nothing for most sports.

Level 7

I hate sports. Pay some assholes millions to chase balls around a field, why?

Your football, our football? Who gives a f@#k?

Watching sports is about getting us all to look the other way while our rulers do bad stuff.

Except cycling. That is actually very important 🙂

No. I don't care either.

Level 5

Not at all. I'm there with you. I will also include majority of other sports that people watch. The only ones that I have any interest in is gymnastics and figure skating.

we are pretty much on the same page

No. There are many other 'football non-fans' out there.

I have not the slightest interest in football or any other competitive sport. I wonder how many "fans" would be interested if they could not wager on the outcome of the games.....

Not at all.

Football has never caught my interest either. But I know I'm not the only one.

The sportsball fandom has been going crazy lately! Must be a big con going down soon... So much cosplay...

I don't like it.

Level 7

I actually resent football, the amount of time, money and effort the goes into grown men chasing a ball around annoys me. If you're going to have a hero can't it be someone who has actually done something useful!

Level 7

It's a child's game. Leave it to adults to pervert it into an insane business and contrive the means to addict people to it. No, I can't stand any professional sport. Even college sports has reached a point of being delusional in its real and tangible importance to society. It's an outgrowth of Pop Culture. And then there's all the 'made for consumption' stars like Justin Timberlake they trot out. Don't get me started on that crap!!
