Look, I think the fact that you don't like watching sports is fine. Doesn't make you any less of a "man". What you defined as your interests defines you as quite an ideal man, in my opinion!
BUT (you knew it was coming) I do. Not always, and not all sports.
Actually, it's ironic that I grew up in Montreal and didn't like hockey. Don't watch it, don't play it.
But I grew up playing football, rugby, soccer, basketball, swim team, volleyball, handball, water polo, and tennis.
I have played 56 seasons of organized team sport seasons'.
I have been a captain of several of these seasons, in different sports.
I like watching football some lazy Sundays (2 out of 3 I'll watch 2 hours maybe).
World Cup Soccer once every four years.
Hey it's harmless, it's fun (for me), and I'm a fan of certain teams so it makes me feel like I'm part of something.
If it's a choice between ending worldwide poverty or sports, goodbye sports.
Of course, it ain't just guns or butter. There is waay more to it than that.
