I'm with you! Supercross and motocross are the only sports I follow. Too much ass slapping going on with the "ball" sports. A lot of guys are into that I guess.

When you troll, you are supposed to make people give you an upset response. Just an FYI.

Lol, let's not mix riding bikes up with actual sports.

I count pucks as a "Ball". tennis isn't a sport, that's why they don't have games, they have matches. Again you win the race not the game.

Its just my opinion.

Sport By definition:

An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

Very broad. One could make a case for almost any activity.

Let's not forget, there is more to football than just the NFL. There are just as many, if not more college football fans out there. And in many cases, follow individual player/s into the NFL, and enjoy watching them.

Because you can break stones on other teams fans when your team beats them up all the time.

Because I like it...........nuff said.

This is my sport ........

I with you man! I feel the exact same way. If it doesn't have 4 wheels, or 4-legs and involve racing, then I'm not interested. Baseball is even worse than football - both put me to sleep within 10 minutes of trying to watch it.

I raced bikes back in the day too. Maybe that's got something to do with it.

I heard the OP changed his name to CaitynEmig5m.

Just kidding. To each is own brother. I love football, but I also like to play and watch tennis. I catch a lot of crap for that.

Every game matters in football. One bad game can blow or end the season. My family has Packers season tickets so I've been fortunate to see some great football played live in the best venue in the league. Lambeau Field!

That's exactly what I was thinking, lmfao.

I love sports. I get super into hockey and football though. I grew up in the south playing football with the guys and watching games on Saturday with my dad. Hockey I just kinda stumbled upon and fell in love with though.

Btw; I'm still crazy happy the Hawks won the cup.

So hard to dislike the Blackhawks. This last Cup Finals was the best I have ever watched.

I always liked hockey but now that I'm older I get really into watching Juniors hockey games when I can, the leagues like Quebec Major Junior and Ontario Hockey League. Those kids will be the next NHL stars in only a few years and it's fun to watch a kid like McDavid play Junior and then see him jump to the NHL the next season. Those games in OHL, QMJHL etc are pretty good hockey.
