TGs and sports

[V M]

I can't help it. Football season starts and I'm there. I also notice that the NFL Store sells girlie stuff 

If I ever hook up with someone they better be ready to take a tall blond to some games 

What sports are you into?

This is making weird sense in hindsight... but soccer is about the only sport I have fun playing and watching.  I like watching the superbowl or the olympic hockey, but random football/hockey/basketball doesn't hold my interest.  And forget about baseball altogether.

I like watching ice skating too but I get that from my parents .

Oh, and in my current city, football is a genderless sport.  When I went to get my hair cut during playoffs all the ladies in the salon were talking about the previous night's game.  In this city you're either a fan or a second-class citizen .

I love football and basketball. March Madness it one of my favorite times of the year.  While in Cambodia I watched a lot of soccer, but since I am cable free I can;t get many games these days.My SO is left wondering what to do, she is not a sports fan at all. If they came up with a professional book reading league she could  definitely make the pros.
Cheers,

I will watch any sport on TV , but rarely watch baseball and hockey.

Lots of places are like that - plenty of college towns, the big time ones are like that, as are Philly, NY, SF, Chicago.  And they do sell plenty of 'girls' cut and sized merch.

The only two sports I enjoy are glass-lifting and horizontal wrestling.

Actually, that's not entirely honest.
I'm a swimmer, or I used to be. I got asked to join the town's swim team even, but I never got along well with the other girls in the locker-room so I just couldn't be arsed.
I haven't been to the pool in about two years now, I just can't bring myself to do it. It's too much. My partner has suggested it a couple of times, and I find myself dying to hit the pool, it's just across the street from me, but I can't face the women's locker room anymore and I wouldn't be allowed in the men's.

I also like to watch Icelandic off-road races.
Here's a vid featuring one of my favorite drivers:


And an absolutely brilliant clip from Top Gear's visit to Iceland:

Hmm. Don't like to watch sports. Don't like to participate in all sports.

I like running, so track and field. How exciting, no? Soccer's alright too.

I think I've fallen in love with icelandic off road racing, thanks Miniar, great clips.

On reflection, as a sport gets more and more professional the more boring they get. I like to watch and be in competition. Professional sport is not about competition, it's about winning and I think I'm losing interest.
To expand, I work hard and my research work is competitive, for leisure I may watch sport etc on TV. What do I have? competitive cooking, reality survival of ten different types. Compete to have sex with a Bachelor, Farmer etc etc. Professional sport at every level; infant to adult. Pro modelling for kindies. Why cannot we have competition without the emphasis being put on winning?

I'm not at all sporty.  Aside from a very few major events, I don't watch any sport (or any tv at all for that matter).  I certainly don't play any sports - unless you count the Wii? hehe

Ya'know, I've never understood why one would play videogames for excercise.

The "other" football (soccer) and I have watched a bit of local roller derby too. Good times.
