........................................ [edit]......................................Oh. Enjoy your wilderness diarrhea.
As much as you seemed to enjoy your diatribe? Oh, if only I were that easily pleased.
Few have made the comments that your have covered, most have simply professed to a lack of interest in "sport" per se but a liking for 'some' or what could be termed alternative sports. For someone that uses the term "I find it interesting that some of you think in absolutes with sports fanatics" you do seem to show the same with regards to those that aren't.

Ah, another poster cherry picking my post.
Anyways, I'm not referring to those who don't like/watch sports. With billions of people on this planet, obviously not everyone will enjoy sports. I'm referring to those who don't like/watch sports, and have complete disdain for those that do. And with that disdain comes the ridiculous claims and statements towards those people.
Case in point:

Although posts like that ^ toward me make me laugh, considering what the women I date/have dated look like.
As to your last sentence, the assumption that those who are sports nuts and all that, are slobs, who don't have other interests, passions or hobbies. However, those who have complete disdain for sports/sports fans (and are so outspoken about it), tend to not be athletic, not in good physical shape (ex: abs, musular, strong) and/or aren't competitive by nature.
But just like there are stereotypical images of some sports nut who watches football and drinks beer all day, there certainly are stereotypical images of someone who has such a strong disinterest in "sport".
I don't fit the former, as you can see by my profile picture, because I'm not a sports nut, but with some of the posts in this thread, it makes me wonder about the latter.
Wow, I'm not into sports but I wouldn't want to go to a hostile household either. Being so rigid leaves little room to work things out. If our friends or relations visit us, we go out of my way to make them feel welcome, not alienating them.
I don't know Tzaphkiel, but I'm not certain what part of her post would indicate she treats all of her guests the same way. If I had friends or family who threw fits every weekend due to a sports game on tv, I probably wouldn't invite them over on a weekend when a sports game is on the tv... Same logic applies here. If the description of her father & brother's behavior is accurate to the point of yelling and glass breaking, I wouldn't want to expose my young children to that either.

It usual for people to embellish the story so you are more likely to agree with them. I didn't take her story too literal. Maybe glass was broken on one occasion? I don't suppose it's normal for sports fans to continually break glass when watching sporting events. I've known a lot of sports fans and have not witnessed this myself
I've never liked sports of any kind. I'm not into competition for the sake of competition, and to me, every football game looks like the same thing. I bunch of men shoving each other around, running, throwing a ball. Boooooring! I have no desire to participate in sports either (and my dad never really liked me because I refused to even play catch with him). I do, however, go to the gym and lift weights and do cardio. So I look like I'm someone who would play sports
I'm also not into musicals, plays, opera, science fiction, fantasy, or animation. I rarely find another man who is like this lol! And if people start talking to me about sports, I just tell them I'm not into sports because I have no way to converse about sports.
