Sportssuck.com, the "I hate sports" club

If you're out there complaining about team sports, or American Idol, or Tyler Perry movies, or Justin Bieber (whoever he is) then you're either (a) missing the point, or (b) trying to engage in status signalling that you're not the intellectual demographic at which these things are aimed. However, by making such a signal you imply that you're worried about being confused with such people, which is in itself a negative status signal.

So in conclusion, complaining about forms of entertainment that you don't enjoy is an enormous waste of time and makes you look bad.

As a child, I also didn't like sports - mainly because I was asthmatic, unable to (or so I thought), and therefore apathetic to it.

As a teenager, as my asthma receded, I came to enjoy sports. Now, practising martial arts, I really see the value in always pushing and analysing oneself, and likewise, pushing others, competing, and analysing them to see how I can overcome them. Meanwhile, I hope and expect they are doing the same.

Experiences like those that the gay high school football player suffered ( http://www.sportssuck.org/gayfootball.htm ) do make me understand how some people can come to dislike sports though... however, it's not the sport to blame here, but a cruel culture of intolerance.

We just don't care. It's one of the few things in life that allows me to be completely irrational and thrilled to death about it.

I think they have the right to do whatever the hell they want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

The real reason these guys hate sports is not because they think it's irrational to "base your life on the outcome of a game", it's because they suck at sports.

"We are not unreasonable or intolerant people."

Um, OK. Nuff said.

Really? THAT is the point you want to finish on?
