Ha, I’m the opposite. I don’t care about the results, the stats, but I like watching the game. Of course it’s been a lot of years since it was reasonable to goto a game, so I no longer get do. And the last few years it’s been impossible to watch on TV, but even before that the ads were getting more frequent and intrusive. It’s just not enjoyable anymore
College hockey is the way to go! It’s still reasonable to see live, fans get excited, ads are minimal, and you need at most one streaming service if you watch on tv. It’s harder to find bars though
Did you play sports as a kid? I never could, so the actual mechanics of the game don’t appeal to me. They don’t hearken back to my childhood or hit me in the nostalgia. I did try playing street football with friends, but more than one or two plays and I was done. Asthma. So glad it doesn’t bother me so much these days. It was a real bitch back then. Then again, it kept me from joining the military. A lot of military in my family. Who knows how I woulda turned out. Might be working in the Pentagon or something by now. I can’t even imagine that. Might be better off, financially, but what kind of person would I have been? Anyway… numbers, results, it’s really just a means to an end to make conversation.
I was no athlete by any means, but yes. For organized sports I played little league and one summer of soccer. But mainly my brothers and I were very active. Our back yard was perfect for football, and we sometimes set up a short golf course. We played a lot of football with friends, basketball, etc. while I was especially bad at skating, we played neighborhood hockey. In college I played intramural football and volleyball (my roommate was from Brazil, so we kicked ass in beach volleyball).
