I know Star Trek fans are stereotyped for being sports fanatics, but I gotta say, I really hate it.
I used to be excellent running. Basic training, early in army, unequal stamina. Couldn't do a push up or pull up to save my life, much less climb ropes. It was a absurd paradox to my Drill Sargent who wrote me off in the first hour of basic training doing push ups as a gonner (I literally lost my sight, everything went grey) then proceeded to lap everyone next day running.
I eventually balanced the equation by having my knee go crap on me. So now I'm weak all over.
Thinks I can tolerate:
1) Bicycyling non competitevly on gentle grades.
2) Hiking/walking (never running) 2 to 15 miles (that's like, 800 kilometers or something in Metric)
3) I can occasionally watch Mixed Martial Arts, but never ever get excited. I mostly just watch for moves, thinking I could try that some day if ai gotta.
I never cared for sports since age 7 or 8. A baseball wrestling fanatic then.... but not now. If someone threw a ball at me, I would just get hit by it, it would bounce hard off me, and I would rub the sore spot, asking "Why did you just throw that at me, it hurts?"
Never cared for football. Soccer looks like some sort of gay cult Europeans and Mexicans are trying to trick Americans into. I'm not falling for it. It technically isn't even a sport, someone has to score for that to be the case.
I understand baseball, if requested to go to a Pirates game, I will.... but mostly to look at the women.
I don't like golf, playing or watching it. Swimming boring. I could probably swim a long time if I fell off a ship, but unless I'm snorkling close to shore, I just won't go into the water.
I used to do a lot of cave and mine exploring. Not anymore. I got a bad knee, so won't do sky diving- plus like, technically a dead person can sky dive, so not sure how that's a sport. I was a paratrooper once, I'm not too impressed with it. Scared of heights, so scaring myself and encouraging a reinjury isn't to appealing.
I got a inflatable kayak. Very slow compared to longer fixed frame kayaks. I just like going places.
I completely suck in anything doing with sports. I can't even do ping-pong.
Anyone else as pathetic as me, or is everyone doing Triathlons and winning medals? I used to be reasonably athletic. Now I just suck.
Olympics is a very boring time for me. I still haven't watched the Superbowl, told it was amazing.
