I don't know the first damn thing about professional sports
At work, the cooler talk from the men in the office is hockey, football, whatever pools. I don't mind playing games here and there, but I don't know shit about professional sports, statistics, which team got which guy. Football, basketball,whatever.
I've always been a car and gun guy and nobody in my office seems to like either.
Am I alone on Sig Forum as a guy who knows fuck all about professional sports players, statistics, etc?This message has been edited. Last edited by: acidjazz, January 08, 2018 08:21 AM

I'm with you. I don't give a crap about that type of thing. It amazes me that it means so much to some people.

What is this sportsball you speak of?
(I have no use for it either)
This is where my signature goes.

Same here, with little exception. I was always one of those wierdo martial arts guys. I'll watch a ball game if someone else has it on, but rarely go out of my way to do it.
I have zero interest in pro sports, college sports or auto racing. Its about money and hype. Up here, Yoopers look at me like I have two heads when I say I don't care about the Packers or Red Wings.

Well I do like sports a lot. Especially Dodgers, Ducks, and Portland Thorns. Also many Olympic Sports, including Shooting.

I've never been a sports fan either.

I like hockey but I'm not a diehard fan. I couldn't care less about foot-, basket-, or baseball, though.

Same, I'll chat it up about fishing though.

I’m about the same. With the two exceptions that I do enjoy going to baseball games, but couldn’t tell you who plays where, or was traded for who or anything. And I like watching TCU football games. Again, the stats, players, record are all of little consequence to me.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

Add me to the list. Absolutely zero interest in any game involving a ball and not much more than that in things involving wheels and engines.
Exception to that would be actual physical attendance at drag races or motorcycle races. And, AFAIK, there isn't any of that within reasonable driving distance of me.

I don't follow professional sports at all. I will (very occassionally) watch some college football, but only if it's certain teams. But I can get into HS sports. My wife is a teacher and a HS girls basketball coach. Love going to her games.

Same. Clueless. Throw the ball in some goal. Hit it with a stick.

Zero interest. Luckily only two of the guys I work with discuss it. I always ask if there were any sweet free throws in lastnights football game.
I make it pretty clear I don't know shit about sportsing and don't care to know.

As a mechanic friend of mine said recently, “I’ve been known to leave a group of dudes talking sports to talk cooking with a bunch of women.”

I find it fun to enter those conversations and fake out like I know. It;'s such meaningless drivel, that I can easily get all the way through them.
10 seconds of radio news and I'm equipped for the day.

Growing up it was all out doors- fishing, camping hunting etc. No organized sports at all.
As such I know something about nature and the environment.
