I find as I give a shit less about things, sports falls into that area. Why do I care who wins or who loses? Do I know the players personally? Sure I played all sports but I dont want to be some hammerhead old man sitting on a couch thinking I know it all or giving a shit about how many yards some player who I dont give a shit about runs for. As I watched sports lately, I found it boring and pretty fucking useless. I find other things in my personal life more worthwhile than watching some guy make 10 mill a year for hitting a ball, throwing a ball, shooting a puck or whatever. Meh, maybe Im just old.

Maybe a fondness for the cock in old age is taking its place

meh who knows, although with a sex drive of less than zero I dont think I have a fondness for much in that area

I only watch the sport of bodybuilders battling it out on stage.

A benefit of aging, no pussy is worth chasing.

Men that wear jerseys brandishing the name of another man, are pathetic.

In some ways u have a point
It's ridiculous when u see guys beating each other up, arguing and even killings. It really isn't that serious
Of course I still love sports but it doesn't take up my life like so many others
-
Tomorrow I know at least a few people will come up to me at work talking football. And I'll say 'asshole you know I don't give a fuck about the bills'
I know nobody in the NFL. I don't play in the NFL. Why would I give a shit? It's never made any sense to me.
Then I have to listen to people talk about what they would have done in the game. Like who the fuck are you thinking you know more then a coach of a pro team.
Then some idiot is going to be in a bad mood because their team lost.

I see no problem with watching your favorite sports... watching movies with your favorite actors ... Ect
Just don't become obsessed.
-
Adonis and I have always agreed on this point. Watching sports is utterly pointless. There is no benefit to an individual if youre team wins or loses. I guess its fun to root for youre team and all that crap, but the obsessiveness of sport watches is ridiculous.
Understanding why people watch sports can be understand from a social psychological perspective. In other words, understanding large group dynamics. The emotional feeling of your buddies cheering along with you is enthralling. Just look at the stadium of people. No one would be involved in sports this much if it wasn't for the shared feelings of loyalty among the same people who also like your team.

Is watching movies about fictional events ok in your mind ?

Depends on the degree of obsessiveness, and if one can separate fiction from reality.

You can reduce any form of entertainment to its just.
That's the value of entertainment, it's simple and easily acessible.

I know some people that are obsessed with fantasy football. I don't get that.
I know some people that are obsessed with certain movie series (Twilight, Marvel)
But I don't think it's bad to watch a game here or there.... Same with movies
-
It's fun and entertainment. Adonis likes the cooking channel. I like football, the strategy employed by the coaches, and the skill and athleticism of the players.
The guys who have their whole identity tied into their sports teams? Yes, that's pathetic.

Your just sooky the grey cup sucked.
CFL is bullshit hope this helps.
You have the poor luck of being in the heart land of such a bullshit league.
Only in canda could we emulated the biggest sports league on the planet, and yet copy none of the parts that actually make it interesting.

On the life of my dog I have never seen a CFL game in my life
I recognized early it is not a professional sport
please stay out of my threads, you promote rape as being ok

Nah, plenty of fans appreciate sports outside of group dynamics. There's nothing wrong with appreciating, and being entertained, by elite performers playing at the highest levels of the game. It's......fun.

That is why I added the qualified of obsessiveness.

But the initial draw when one is little is watching sports game with your father. We can all remember the days of our father bringing us to sporting events or our own games or watching the game on television. The excitement of watching a sporting game with your father is what sets the stage for later on. Very rare for a 7 year old to watch a sports game alone.

Sure, but that still doesn't validate your statement that "watching sports is utterly pointless". Regardless of how it starts, there's a multitude of reasons.

No, but it validates my point about large group dynamics, since the initial bond between child and father (dyad) most likely sets the stage to like sports. Obviously one does not always need to be in the presence of a large group to enjoy sports, though I would argue that even if one is alone watching sport, one explicitly knows that other fans are watching the same game, and will most likely be talked about at a later date. Thus, sharing your emotions of the game with another.
As for the multitude of reasons, what are they? Obviously, this is very subjective.

Sf1900 changing the goals midstream as usual.

Humans are tribal and following a sport is just another way we get to be with a tribe.
I never got it.
Like all this crap about being a Manchester United fan. What is the point? It's not as if all the players come from Manchester. It's just a manufactured/paid for team with no real roots anywhere any more.
What is it you are supporting there? A multinational company listed on the UK Stock exchange that sells lots of seats/merchandise and uses that money to pay a bunch of jumped up, self obsessed, overpaid, spoilt pricks to kick a ball arond and take a dive (cheat) whenever the opportunity arises.
Fuck that.

Exactly, humans are tribal and will gather in tribes in either explicit or implicit ways. That could be through watching sports directly with someone or talking about the sport game at a later time with someone. Nothing is really done in pure isolation. Thus, my original statement about large group dynamics, either directly or indirectly experiencing something with someone, still stands. That could be watching the game with someone or discussing it the next day at work. But the initial liking of sports is usually done with another.
Not everything needs to be spelled out for people and some people truly never understand the contexuality of things.
-
Ah yes, the good old "you don't understand the contextuality of statements" lol. ::)

What about these two bodybuilding warriors?

If you are getting old, then I have been dead for quite awhile now. Life is what you make of it. Not saying watching sports is the be all end all, but do find something you enjoy and do it.

Is that what happened? Neither my dad nor my stepfather were into sports. Guess Uberman might have something to say about this. I asked my stepdad to teach me to box and he said, "real men don't stoop to fighting."

No it doesn't. A father watching his son is not large group dynamics. It's the opposite.
Also, all you're doing is making assumptions with nothing to back it up. Plenty of people enjoy sports by themselves, and not because they think they're going to talk about it with others. People can appreciate any medium on their own.

I saw this fat fucking cow on the treadmill today. Had to be about 5' 4" and 230lbs, and only in her late 20's. She was burning up the rubber at about 2.3 mph and 0 incline.
So then she started yelling 'GO! GO!' at the TV playing the Ravens game. All I could think was 'Bitch, you've never done any physical activity your whole goddamn life. Who are you to give a shit about sports??'
Yeah. Sports are great if you play or if your kids play. Past that who gives a shit.
-

Why?

Sounds like a post from generation nothingness.
why be passionate about anything.

;D
I'm sure she thinks she is actively involved in sports
-
I still love sports but I'm not as passionate as I was when I was younger.
I think a lot of it is that all my team but the Knicks have won championships.....NY Rangers were close last year, hopefully soon.
