What sports are people into?

What sports are people into?
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.

RE: What sports are people into?
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...

Every sport takes talent, even if it is a sport I don't like. I hate soccer. Not because the players aren't tough, but because of the low scores in any given game. I have a hard time watching a 3 hour game that ends in 1-0 or 2-0 or 2-1. When I say 3 hour, I don't meant actual rule time, but time outs for tv spots.

And I don't like it when soccer fans trash American football players. I will give them all due credit playing soccer as having tallent. But they falsely think NFL players ar whimps for wearing all the pads. I doubt any forward in soccer could take the daily pounding a lineman or quarterback takes just in practice, EVEN with the pads on.

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.
