Anybody here into sports? Watching or participating? What sports type activities do you like and/or participate in? If you have participated, how good were you in that type of sport?
-
I used to do archery, kickboxing, cricket, hockey and netball.
Then my nerve issue kicked in big time and my knees gave way xD
-
I do archery, and hoping to go to the junior olymics national championship's next year.
-
I love to play soccer and ride horses, however finances don't allow any of that right now. As for watching, I like hockey, lacrosse, occasionally racing, but grand prix style, no nascar
-
if airsoft, and paintball count then i play those once in awhile. other than that i dont really do anything else.
-
I've never been much for competitive sports, even as a kid. I'm too small for football, too short for basketball, and although I was OK at baseball when I was younger but now I've got a bad shoulder so I can't throw a ball accurately or very far. Arthritis forced me to give up golf and bowling, but I didn't play those much anyway. So I stick to low-impact solo sports--kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and hiking.
-
I love soccer. I play it quite often and follow a team. I also Skateboard, but that's more of a summer hobby
-
Does dancing count as a sport?

Track and Field for me :)

I count band as a sport :)

I love watching football, even though I don't do it often. As for playing, I don't play sports on teams, but I would say I was decent at most sports so I could play with someone if they wanted me to.
I get most of my exercise by running and going to the gym.
-
Does building robots that compete for points count as a sport? You do have to practice driving it as each robot is unique to its creators. I've gotten good at operating the arm on mine.
I also play baseball in the spring.

Team sports are often good family entertainment, but my family
wasn't much for sports. So it's probably why I never was much
for team sports either.
When I was in school I found too much cheating in competive
team sports. So I decided why try if winning was so important
people had to cheat. Then after growing up I found this kind of
thing exsisted with adults too.. Oh I am sure it's mostly a small
problem, but it still caused me to loose interest in team sports.
I mean when a baseball pitcher can get hand surgery on an otherwise
normal hand to help him pitch better, and it's acceptable. What else
goes on we might not know about.
I do like chess, checkers, pool, and other games of that sort. :orbunny:
-
I like football, but only if the Packers are doing good and winning. ;)
I like to watch skiing and snowboarding, but usually only during the winter Olympics.
I took archery in junior high school during gym class. Wasn't too bad with it despite my eyesight.
Otherwise, I like "mild sports" like bowling, chess, and a few other things.
-
Now, we do some of these activities purely as exercise, but we wouldnt say we like sports, but rather exercise. Sports implies competitiveness, and we tend not to enjoy that.
-
Horseback riding is something I enjoy on occasion; if I had more money and time I'd ride more often :orhorse:

In all the time I took care of my stepdad's horses, which was about 10 years, I never rode any of them. My stepdad did board another horse that belonged to a friend. Gentlest horse you could ever meet. His name was Irish. Would have liked to have ridden him, but never got the chance. :(

If sitting at my computer and getting overly emotional about things on the internet is a sport, then sign me up!

I don't think the International Olympic Commitee has endorsed it as such.

I'm not into sports but I like playing mini golf.

I've always disliked sports, but I do enjoy non-competitive swimming. My family has a pool in the backyard, which is nice for when it's hot outside.
But... That's pretty much it. I don't like competition since it causes stress for me, and that certainly isn't fun. And honestly, I dislike watching sports too, but for the opposite reasons; I find it too boring.
I do have one fond memory of sports, though, so I might as well share it. It was quite a while ago, back when I had PE class... We were playing this one team sport, that I can't remember the name of... If I remember correctly, it was basically soccer, except the ball was smaller and you threw it instead of kicking it. I dunno, it seems like it might have been something the teacher just made up. But anyway, it was a pretty close game. My team was trying to score, but it wasn't working since a whole bunch of people were blocking the goal (because apparently that was allowed?). I decided to have a shot at it, and I threw the ball at a downward angle. And just like I hoped, the ball went between their legs and into the goal. My team ended up winning because of that, since the period ended very shortly after. I was pretty proud of myself!
I don't take PE anymore, though, so I highly doubt anything like this will ever happen again. And despite that one good moment, I have so many negative memories of sports that I really wouldn't participate in any if given the opportunity.
-
Are eSports a sport? Because if not, then I despise sports with a passion
-
I love Swimming and Golf. Like swimming for daily exercise when the temperature is high enough and Golf where there's an appropriate course to play it on. I think swimming is one of my favorite things for exercise, as well as Golf, but Golf is also fun to play with people competitively.
-
I like basketball but haven't played in ages.
-
As a kid, I was usually the last one left when choosing up sides in grade school.
I would target shoot with pellet and bb guns in my parent's basement.
Shot in local service rifle matches for a number of years, but only certified as Marksman. Never won any trophies.
Life is too short to watch others play games. Some tend to live vicariously through sports stars because their own life is so boring. So I keep busy with projects and try to do worthwhile activities.
Fursuiting should be considered a sport.

I personally never cared much for team sports, but it is a
good way to teach young people how to work together. It
would be nice if people could enjoy it without feeling they
have to win. After all it would be a good time to teach our
young people how to respect each other winning or not. I
guess the desire to win is a natural part of our social nature.
A way to gain respect of our fellows.
There are ways to gain respect other than showing
your better at doing something than anyone else.
Some cultures place honer above life it's self.

Will watch Wimbledon when it is on hope to do a bit of archery in the future. only sport I'm any good at if it counts is chess won a local competition I'm more brains over brawn... I believe esports is counting as a college sport so I may get a bit more interested in sports :)

I skateboard quite a bit (Especially in the summer) and I also play Football (Soccer) for a local team. I do watch some sports such as Rugby as well.

When it was learned that a distant relative won a gold medal in olymipic sabre competition back in 1968--I signed up for fencing at the local community college and became rather good at it too.
-
I'm not really into traditional sports, instead I prefer martial sports (and yes, I consider them arts) like Taekwondo, Judo, Boxing, submission grappling.
Things like track and parkour.
Bowling is about the only traditional one I really care for.
-
I only have a vague understanding of them from back in middle and high school when I had to do them in PE classes. Other than when it impacts my grade, i've been content ignoring them
