Which means every Saturday is filled with my sisters being super stressed while watching their team's games.

Do you all watch or follow any sports?

Nope.

Unless we consider award season a sport. I mean I certainly bet on it.

I pay a lot of attention to baseball and basketball (mostly NBA, not college). They're great sports and I really enjoy following them. I sort of half-pay attention to a bunch of other sports - college basketball, soccer, tennis, boxing, cricket, stuff like that. They're sort of in the category where I like them, but I don't have any team that I'm a fan of and I don't care enough to really keep up with them on a day to day basis.

With football specifically, I used to be a big NFL fan and I've pretty much cut myself off entirely from paying attention to it. Partly because of the awfulness of the league and the sport, partly because I stopped enjoying the sport as much, partly because the way it was covered and the 24/7/365 all NFL controversy all the time crap really got on my nerves. So I really actively try to ignore it at this point. I don't mind college football as much, and I can appreciate the routine and the fandom, but I still don't watch it routinely (in part because the school that I went to was D3, if I'm being honest).

I watch some of the Olympics a little bit and I try to catch the broadcasts from Stockholm/Gothenburg International Horse Show. I love the Four-in-hand driving and Kür dressage.

I follow baseball peripherally but I'm not super invested.

Sports bore me to tears.

Then don't watch them?

is this why there's so much football-themed stuff popping up right now? I was so confused, I knew the super bowl was on the other end of the year.

Yeah, the season is starting. NFL starts this week, college started a couple weeks ago.

I don't care about football (not like I'm better than anyone who does, do not get me started about soccer or basketball), but I'm in grad school at an SEC school, so I can't avoid it.

That's a big N to the O.

OT but your icon is really cool!

The only sport I care about at all is hockey, but even then I'm not, like, SUPER into it (although I am excited for the World Cup coming up in about a week).

I kind of enjoy baseball, but I only watch it with my dad

I watch a few sports but I'm not even close to fanatical levels about any of them.

I don't support college football, so no.

Baseball is the only sport I enjoy watching. Been watching since I was very little and follow it pretty closely.

Oh good. We get to watch teams of rapists playing sport for our amusement. Like pokemon with less animal cruelty and more rape apologism.

That's a totally fair position to take, but it's not really something that's unique to sports. Rapists are also pretty endemic in film, and politics, and music, and uh... pretty much all aspects of society.

True, but college football in particular has a higher than average concentration of rapists.

Compared to college students in general, or what?

I understand. Society sucks. But you're going to get fucking burnt out if every single aspect of your life has to be about Important Issues. Sometimes it's okay to just watch something, or to let other people have fun.

YES!!! I like college and pro football, baseball, basketball, and to some extent, hockey (I didn't grow up with hockey as I lived in the American south where it wasnt played in winter like it would be in New York, Chicago, Boston, etc). I love football season especially because on Saturdays and Sundays my husband and I go to sports bars and eat and drink and watch football on a hundred tee vees. It's a blast!

WHO DEY? WHO DEY? WHO DEY THINK GONNA BEAT DEM BENGALS?

Well, as a fan I remain cautiously optimistic, hoping Andy Dalton doesn't hurt himself this season.

Yurk, no. The only 'sport' i like remotely is equestrian, and I don't even watch that when it's in the Olympics.

Big baseball fan. Which if you'd told me 10 years ago, I would have laughed and not believed you. I blame Dan Haren's hair.
