Am I the only guy out there who despises Football and baseball?

I'm totally ambivalent about football, and have grown to absolutely hate baseball. On TV, in person, playing or watching.

Something to do with being a Red Sox fan when young. :(

FWIW, I love golf, but cannot stand watching it on TV.

GtoRA2,
I don't care much for them either. I used to watch football but after 2 strikes and countless examples of less than socially acceptable behavior by a large percentage of players I decided it just wasn't worth my time to waste on their stupid "game".  It's not about the game of football anymore. That went out with the likes of Johnny Unitis.

Baseball never has had much attraction to me either. It is on par with golf as a spectator sport in my opinion.

I do enjoy mechanized sports such as auto racing though I have reached a point in my life that I fall asleep at the drop of a hat and if the race isn't exciting I miss most of it.

If my father had forced sports on me I would have hated the sport and him for doing it to me. He not only never forced me but didn't really show much interest in whether I did it or not. I have always hated running.

I don't think you are weird, but then again most of the people on this board may think I'm weird too :D.

I think everyone should play a sport... team or individual. Good for ya on many levels.

Had a high school coach who thought Dean Smith's conditioning program at UNC was the thing to do. He damn near killed us, but you know what? I lived, and now I am proud to have survived that SOB's tyrranical rule.

Every kid should learn his or her physical limitaions and that ain't gonna happen without a coach.

Mark, I agree.  Used to love watching feetball, but when it ceased being a sport, I quit.

I still like college football though.  Although, they keep trying to make it more like pro every year.  Dang it!

Never liked baseball.  Just flat boring.


Oh,.played both in school and for many years was a pitcher in softball leagues.

Used to like baseball, but can't care less about it after the strikes.

Watched Bears football religiously through the 1970s (at least there was Walter :)) and 1980s. Played football 6th grade through HS. Loved the sport but started to lose interest when it became hard to keep track of the players from season to season.

Always hated baseball, in person or on TV. The best I can say is Wrigley is a good place to drink some overpriced beers in the summer. BTW I am taking a bus trip to Milwaukee tomorrow to watch the Cubs/Brewers -- just going for the party with 50 friends with a baseball game in the background.

In general, pro sports in the age of the boring millionaire celebrty athlete is a bore for me. Hard to really care all that much.

BTW, what demographic is the NFL going for with all the Brittney Spears promotions. Couldn't be 14-year old boys (should already be in the audience); 14 year old girls -- that's a stretch. Middle aged pervs? :)

"Used to like baseball, but can't care less about it after the strikes."

 Same here.    And I've never liked watching football at all.  Playing it sure.


 And to go further I feel the same about basketball.  IMO that's even more boring than football. Much like watching tennis
  Hockey is the only sport I might watch a regular season game on t.v.  And even that doesn't draw me much anymore.  Well, ever since they made them wear helmets and begun to lay heavy fines and penalites for fighting  ;)    I'm pretty much tired of  "pro" sports all around.

 Oh! I don't own a gun. Don't mind if you do.  But I do have a V8 powered muscle car in the garage, hate quiche and I have no effing idea what the recipe for boiling water is.
