I used to play HS football, it was alright but really all the practices before a game sucked all the fun out of it. I'd much rather play a pick-up game in the neigborhood. the main reason to ply HS ball is the girls but between ball, working, and chores I didn't have the time or energy to take advantage of it, quit the next year and found a treasure trove of girls who felt neglected by their ball player boyfriends (plus you never really had to spend any cash because you couldn't go anywhere really public because the BF might hear about it)
all my kids played little leauge, I enjoy watching my kids play (I'd watch kids play over pro's any day of the week). but baseball was never as fun as going to the kids golden gloves tournys.
basicly unless I'm playing myself (and even most of the time then) or watching my kids play, any sport with a ball bores the hell out of me. live isn't so bad you can just kinda get caught up in the excitement of the crowd (still nothing I'd pay for, only go when I get free tickets)
but no way in hell I could waste an hour or 2 watching guys play a game on tv. these guys get a stupid amount of cash and they produce nothing, nobodys life would signifigantly change if they all vanished, yet people hang on every detail of their life as if they where important.
sports are fun, hunting, fishing, boating, dirtbike, scuba, snorkling, hicking camping.
to me most sports involving a ball are just oversized board games, I might as well be watching some guy play pro monopoly.
