I have never liked watching sports events on television. I may be roped in to watch the World Cup or Thomas Cup or whatever cup every once in a while but seriously, what’s so interesting about them?
Okay, I remember a long time ago, I’d stay up late just to watch the World Cup and that’s because I betted some money on the winning team and heck, we are talking about money here!!! Of course, it’s interesting when winning money is involved. I totally understand those who make bettings on sports who will spend every waking hour, if possible, to root for the team they betted on.
Now, I’ve mended my betting ways…oh well, I’m not much of a gambler anyway. I never saw the point in handing my hard-earned money over to other people and hoping to gain something out of it without doing anything.Okay, lets get back to the subject on sports.
Why don’t I like watching sports? Is it because I dislike sports? Hmmm…let me see…I guess I’d much prefer sports that I can do and not rely on others. Yep, I am not much of a team worker. So, I like sports like swimming, diving, hiking, walking, resistance training, horse riding but if you talk about badminton, football, basketball, volleyball, etc…ermmm..no thanks.
Think about it. What’s the fun of running around chasing after some stupid ball? Or running around hitting some chicken feathers?
That’s why I find watching these sports even more boring. I mean, come on…where’s the thrill in watching a bunch of men chasing after some ball and kicking it? Or two men hitting some chicken feathers? I know a lot of football fans will definitely yell ‘boooo’ at me for blogging about this. Well, I’ll be damned if I don’t speak my piece in my very own blog about how I feel.
My husband doesn’t find football fascinating either and the only sports he watch is the F1. I’d always tease him about watching some grown men driving around in circles, much like watching hamsters running on wheels but he’s not bothered.
So, what is more interesting than watching sports on telly? Let me see…
- You can watch paint dry…I think it is infinitely more interesting
- You can watch grass grow…at least you are being one with nature
- You can watch fishes swimming in a pond…at least you are learning something about fishes
- You can watch your neighbours fight…at least you don’t need to rely on gossip to find out what’s happening with them
- You can watch other crappy TV programmes…at least there are plot lines and some sort of creativity, not just a bunch of people running around chasing after a ball
- You can watch your online income grow…that is if you are earning anything online
- You can even watch the ridiculous news…at least you are updated about who died although you will never know who did it
Okay, so some of you may have the argument that sports like football and others with balls are good for health. Well…I can think of other activities that don’t involve balls that are good for health, like jogging, hiking, walking, swimming, dancing, etc.
And let’s not forget the one main activity involving balls that are infinitely more fun and healthy and good for you and everyone who’s anyone is doing it or want to do it…SEX!!
So, yep, I’d say sex is way more interesting and fun than any old football game doncha think? By that I meant participating in it NOT peeping at others doing it but if you get your kicks from watching porn, heck, to each his own, right?
Oh and other sports / activities I find much more fun with a great boost of adrenaline rush?
- sky diving
- rock climbing
- bungee jumping
- conquering Mt Everest
And no, those are not exactly safe sports except for the safe rock climbing in gyms where there are loads of padded mattress and safety belts and such to break your fall.
So you see? You don’t really need balls to have fun!
