Last time I gave a flip about football, was in the 1970's when Lynn Swann (Pittsburgh Steelers) was playing ball .

Football is second only to hockey.

I wouldn't want to date a guy who's not into sports. My last ex was a sports freak and I was happy to hang out and watch fooball and hockey with him.

Basketball sucks, though.

You're not alone. Every year people are astonished I did not watch the Superbowl. It is probably worse because I live in Indianapolis.

I have never liked to watch a sport. Although, I always did like being active, and playing them for fun, I was always bored watching.

Sounds like my brother...he doesn't date often.

He is really addicted though -- betting on games, fantasy football, Maden video games. I suppose it keeps him busy.

I'm a man, and have zero interest in pro sports of any kind.

No way! Just finished watching the big game. It was a good one.

Heck, I just talked to a gay friend on the phone -- he watched the game at home while knitting

I watched bits and pieces of the game tonight being from the Indianapolis area. But, it is a very inferior sport with wayyyy to much standing around and commercial breaks.

Me too. I just got home from a Super Bowl party! What an awesome time I had

I don't want to date a sports "nut" whose life revolves around sports, but if a guy doesn't like sports at all I don't think we'd be a good match. I love attending baseball and basketball games (although I don't watch those on TV much), and I just LOVE football season.

Yeah, going to hockey games is one of my favorite things to do so if I guy had no interest at all it wouldn't work. I'd never see him from October - May!
