What do you do if you don't like sport?

[Narnia]

I wonder if my life would be more fulfilling if I didn't have to watch a particular football or rugby match? It's not like they are always entertaining but I'm afraid not to watch in case they are. If you're not into sport what do you do like next Saturday when ManU play Liverpool closely followed by 6 Nations rugby?

There's no hope for you I'm afraid, Declan. You're already in too deep by the sounds of it.

Forever condemned to sit on a wet plastic seat as the smell of cheap meat and farts wafts through the crowd; or in a pub, lined-up on barstools with your fellow sullen-faced sport-jockeys, staring expressionless at a screen partially obscured by sunlight - as you slowly but surely wend your way towards the grave.

[Brendan]

You could go out a play sport instead.

Just a thought.

It is just a thought Brendan. I'm past that malarky, expect for a bit of tennis........possibly.Table tennis, even better!

I'm with you Declan - a fair propoertion of my social life revolves around playing sport (just golf) or watching others sports with friends.

My father was an academic and was totally disinterested in sport, he had lots of hobbies, local history, writing short stories, working with wood etc - I think people just find ways to occupy their time that interest them and for us its sport.

If you tend to think life is absurb and we are here just to fuck about a bit, which I tend to, then sport is fantastic passion and emotion on pointless pursuits in a pointless existence....I couldn't do without the pointless stuff and like most idiotic versions of it

...yes, I've read a lot of Satre

There is nothing else.

That's profound!

I read the title of this and dived in to write the word, "Read".

I was one of those at school who was always on the sidelines due to health, and knew to take a book.

Or a comic.

Now, it's a laptop.

If you mean, "What do you do if you don't like watching sport", pretty much the same answers apply!

[woofmarkthedog]

Go to the gym

[Marmora Man]

Have a life?

Read

Go to the cinema

Go to the theatre

Make things

Fix things

Walk

Climb

Cycle

Cook

Drink

Write letters / e-mails

Ponder life

Paint

Climb trees

Watch birds

Fish

Fix cars

Go to comedy clubs

Play music

Play an instrument

Count sheep

Go brass rubbing

Take up Morris Dancing (joking)

Write a book

Of course some things aren't covered by "watching sport" - I watch English cricket and at present that's rather more like a penance than a pleasure and it's not really sport either.

I couldnt give a toss about the running around around kicking balls business either.

do the crossword. a good way to spend a weekend afternoon, or better still get some afternoon delight with someone else who thinks sport on TV is rubbish. then do the crossword.

MR - you will never experience the crowd's mightyroar from doing a crossword.

[snorky]

I go to alot of overseas games - sometimes I dont manage to get to the game - its an excuse to travel and mix with chums - the sport is secondary

[Jeremy]

I'm not massively into sport, but still never have time to get bored. I usually spend the weekends visiting or going out with friends, playing in bands, going out for meals with my girlfriend, playing the odd computer game, reading, watching movies, doing DIY... I actually don't know where I'd find the time to follow football.

[Jah Lush]

I've always loved sport (especially football) so I'm stuck with it. But, obviously I do plenty of other things too. For instance I love music and I'm a voracious reader of books.
