Professional Sports as entertainment? Not so much. I like to watch auto-racing but I'm not passionate about it.

I enjoy amateur sports more and certainly the Olympics, but then it's only when brought to my attention.

I don't play myself anymore either though I sorely wish to. When my kids are a little more self sufficient, perhaps next summer, I'm going to join a Softball beer league.

As a kid I played baseball and road hockey and followed baseball and rooted for the Jays but grew cynical as I got older and can't get excited for it anymore. It's too clearly a business and the magic is gone for me.

I also find Sports news coverege mostly boring: Contract negotiations, trading rumours, line strategies...ugh. I think you can successfully recap and sum up a game in a few minutes so I don't understand how any of the rest is interesting.

I wish more Bars had their TVs tuned to the Discovery channel than sports round tables of dudes in stiff suits.
