What sports are people into?
October 5, 2012 at 7:38 pm
I'm a huge football fan (by football I mean the game that is actually played mostly with your feet, American's call it soccer). I don't really play it apart from with the kids at the school I work at but I love watching it and used to play a lot when I was at school. I'm a Stockport County fan but I also support Man City and Liverpool as they are my parent's teams.
Apart from football I also like watching tennis and cricket and do my best to keep up with what is going on with both of them. I also enjoy playing table-tennis and badminton but don't play often. I captained my primary-school team at volley-ball but my high-school didn't have a team and I never got back into playing it. I did represent my high-school at distance running though.

I was never really into sports. The only sport I liked as a kid was tennis. Any other sport I hated playing probably because I hate working on teams and tennis is mostly a one on one sport.
Dodgeball or Warball were my favorite non-serious games. I also loved capture the flag when played at night and you could be sneaky.
Don't play sports anymore but I'd like to get back into tennis eventually.

Mind, I don't like the American version of football, either.

I'm not into sports, never really was. I just don't like them that much...and I'm weak...

Football (Americans call it some funny name already mentioned...I also like American football (though I think international rugby is better) and baseball (only at the stadium as tv coverage is awful and I don't like to play it).
If you count karate as a sport, then that as well.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

No, but rugby players knock the shit out of each other and they have no pads at all.
