The only sport I watch is WWE.

I'll be first to admit it's sports entertainment. So I guess technically I don't watch sports.

I never got into sports, I can't watch a full game or go to a live one. It does me no interest. I look to see who wins at the end; like I do for award ceremonies. I don't care to watch the whole thing; just interested in the outcome.

My brother did not watch sports when I was a kid. The only sports my father watched were golf and bowling.
Then I married a guy who does not watch sports. His brother and his father also do not watch sports.

So, who watches the games on TV? I DO!! Seriously. And I'm FEMALE!!

My dad doesn't. As for me, I don't care one way or the other what they think of sports. It doesn't really matter to me.

All of you....turn in your man cards. Now! :eek:

Sports is always on in our house. My g/f loves baseball, I love football and WWE. I also watch golf (when Tiger is playing) and I'll dabble in the NBA/NHL playoffs.

as a female, i used to be interested in sports when i was younger but as i got older, i lost interest in that and i got more into tv, films, listening to music, art.

as for what i think of guys who don't watch sport or have no interest in it, i don't have a problem with it at all. it's all a matter of taste and preference and what you like. it is sad however that with men, they are labelled 'gay' or whatever when they have no interest in sports. it is not gay- it is just something they like and besides, by having someone of the opposite sex with similar interests as myself, it's good to know that we have someone to talk to when discussing our favourite shows, movies, bands etc.

I usually only watch the big events in football and baseball, decisive playoffs, Super Bowl, World Series, plus the Olympics. No interest at all in regular games much or in basketball, golf, hockey, etc.

As stated before I have never once had an interest in sport and never will. It just aint my thing.

I'm not an avid sports fan, overall. Between the time I was like, 10 years old until I was about 16, I never missed a Yankee or Met game (Ch. 9 and Ch. 11 in New York area), knew all the players, positions, numbers and stats--but now, I still have favorite teams in MLB and the NFL, and like watching a good, close game--I don't follow any of these as closely as when I was younger.

I still like to watch PGA golf championships--Masters, British Open and US Open, stuff like that, but on the last two days, when it gets down to the wire.

I watch some of the MLB playoffs and most of the World Series, plus some NFL playoffs and definitely the Super Bowl (as much a cultural event as a sports event.) Regular-season games in baseball and football I usually skip unless it's a rivalry: i.e, Dodgers/Giants Raiders/Broncos or Raiders/KC Chiefs.

When the Olympics are on, I'm glued to the TV--especially for Track and Field.

I also try to catch Wimbledon for tennis, and the Kentucky Derby in horse racing.

Overall, I'm not a big day-to-day 'into it' sports fan. Normally, I'll quickly run through the Sports page of the paper, (just as with the other sections) picking out a headline here and there, and I'll listen to the sportscast on the local news on TV or radio. While in the car I'll listen to KCBS or KGO for all the news, including sports, but seldom tune in to a station where it's just sports talk only; it's boring to me.

I found myself not talking to male co workers who didn't watch sports-lol I should not have been that way but It was just the norm for me to stand around the water cooler and chat about the game

I watch a lot of sports but I have dated a couple of guys who weren't into sports. We would have other things in common that we enjoyed so it didn't matter much to me if they didn't watch sports.

Some of you guys that replied you never cared for sports, I kind of figured, because I never see you guys post on the sports board here, but that's cool, I don't look at males another way because they don't watch sports. You would be surprised how many males that don't watch sports, and how many females that DO!

I know a lot of people like that. When I was in high school, it was like about six of us guys talking NBA. There was was guy out the bunch who wasn't a sports fan. He was a huge rap fan. So the NBA conversation escaped him, and he pulled one guy aside, and talked about rap music. It was funny. LOL

I used to love boxing. Ali was my favorite. I used to watch all his heavyweight fights. I haven't followed it since Larry Holmes though. Once they took it off the networks and put it on PPV and cable, I lost track of it.

Believe it or not, Larry Holmes is my all-tim favorite boxer! I use to love watching him on ABC Wide World of Sports back in the day!

I'm a guy, and I'm barely interested in sports. I do come to my parents' annual Super Bowl party, though, and maybe I'll watch an event from the Summer or Winter Olympics when they come around, but that's about it.

I really could care less if a guy is into sports or not. I'm not myself...no interest at all. Like, whoopie let's throw a ball back and forth. Yeah, no. I'll admit it's fun to go to an actual game but to actually follow sports isn't for me, so I'm not gonna judge a guy for his interest or lack thereof in them.

Oh, I am sorry, I was not aware of that. My father was never in my life, and from what I know, he never watched a lot of sports.

Personally I love sports, and can never get enough. Sometimes I'll even watch the same episode of Sportscenter 3 times in a row. :lol:

I know guys who don't like sports though, and it doesn't bother me. We just talk about different things.

I used to love sports when I was growing up. As I have gotten older and athletes (and the players' unions :angryfire) have gotten more money and switched teams (who would have considered Joe Montana and Michael Jordan not finishing with the '49ers and Bulls?), along with the stadiums (oops, stadia) having corporate names, I have lost interest. Don't expect to find me at any games--ticket prices are out of this world! Besides, the games are too long to fit in all those lame commercials!

Nowadays my only sports interest is the Jim Rome Show. Often times I'll watch the Super Bowl and the NFL playoff games, and I still enjoy NCAA "March Madness"!
