    Avoiding Sports Conversation's

    Ever feel like you're the only guy that doesn't follow sports ?

    Think I said, "sorry, I don't follow football" at least 5 times in the last week.

    Don't guys ever talk about anything else ?

      I follow and talk about MLB, NFL and CFB. I have zero interest in NBA, NHL and MLS.

          No sports here either, and in my family, I'm the minority. My brother, his wife and both of his kids, (grown) love sports and I can't stand it. I really wish there was a sports-free season.

            I only actually follow four sports.

            I love boxing, NFL, World Cup soccer, and the NBA.

            I don't follow MLB, NHL, MLS, NASCAR, Formula 1, Tennis, Golf, Cricket, Rugby...and on, and on, and on...

            But are sports atop of my lists of favorite things in the world?

            No.

            I rank food number one (wished I had Anthony Bourdain's job)...followed by stuff like cars, movies, beer, collectibles, wildlife, etc...

            Chicks are mount Olympus...but obviously not listed because they are not things...lol.

                I follow wrestling (of the entertainment variety), boxing, and some Atlanta Braves but i mostly dislike sports.
                As a kid without cable tv until '85 I dreaded Saturday's after cartoons because of the endless football and tennis games.

                  I'm an MLB nut I love talking baseball but I find most I come across have no idea what they're talking about, that drives me insane.

                  Love Football! Love my Giants and Wolverines but I do not follow any fantasy football leagues just can't get into it

                  Love Boxing, love the Golden gloves my Buddy is a trainer here in NY and I love watching amateur boxing more than anything.
                  Not a fan of the NBA for personal reasons, but i can watch virtually any sport without a problem.

                    Me too, but the guys talking about are usually so lively and spirited it's at least entertaining to me.

                      This comes up a lot - because I'll go out with my wife and her friends, and they bring their boyfriends/husbands - and 99% of the time they'll try to find common ground with me by bringing up sports stuff. I admit, I feel like a bit of a drag when that happens - because if we don't have anything else in common it can be a bit awkward.

                      For just under half the year Toronto is not a big sports city, but when hockey season starts I feel a bit like the lone dude in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" as the obsession spreads.

                        No crud. Just cause you don't follow it, do you have to post about it. Mike, i'm gonna send you a football with a mego painted on it.

                              I know, what a bummer.
