just wrap a blank check around that thing, i'm not picky.

Taking a dictatorish, self-satisfied and socialogically panoramic angle here, but for me, sport keeps the brutish, nature of man passified, containable and controllable. It's a gift to goverment and is glue for our fascist hierarchy.
Can't stand it myself (except for boxing) and I'm as straight as a pouting, throbbing hot Vesuvius cock on the verge of eruption over some oiled up pecs.

i hate spiders too, but i do at least realize they have a role in nature. just keep the circle of life bullshit out of my apartment. if i had the power, i wouldn't ban sports. i'd just tax them with a fury that would make the price of cigarettes look like packets of kool-aid by comparison. yay!

Anx said:

Man, I hate spiders. But I always put them in box and take them outside. Haven't killed anythig intentionally since I can remember. I'm a big gay heterosexual.

oh damn. You know I would.

Thankyou all who have responded to this thread with thoughtful, insightful, sometimes witty, sometimes vulgar sociological perspectives. It gives me more understanding of where you're coming from. I am not just a football coach, I am also a school teacher, and therefore, am constantly around some segment of the gay population. All though these views come from only a small microcosm of the gay community it helps me gains a some what holistic view on the gay sports/anti sports phenomenon. Thankyou for the insight.

Awwwww.

Who cares what they think? We all love you.

I know what you mean, though. I spend all day on the phone so - particularly after a big match - there's always some bloke saying "Did you watch the game?". On the couple of times I've tried to blag it, I've always ended up making it worse for myself. That's when they start throwing in the stats. And if you say 'No', it's like some men don't know how the hell to respond. A man who doesn't like sport??? What's going on here?? ~ silence ~

You are one of the reliable ones here...

I do follow rugby, though.

HamsterHuey said:

Esp the French rugby team;

HamsterHuey said:

I like rugby too - well, the internationals. And the players are fit.

That comment, though, was aimed at the guys who go all silent when I have nothing to say about sport. You'd think I'd admitted to mugging their granny or something.

HamsterHuey said:

Oh. My. God.

My (ex)housemate had that dvd of all the French players making their Calendar. Well worth watching.

the best thing you can do as a teacher - ESPECIALLY as a coach - is to influence your students to accept differences in other people. the one teacher who made the biggest difference in my life was the one who one day sent the class pariah out of the room (she had him go make photocopies for her) - then she shut the door and asked us to justify how we could make that poor guy's life hell and consider ourselves good people. i mean, she raked us over the coals. but we GOT it. and to this day, she's at the top of the list of teachers who actually got through to me and FORMED my mind...for other reasons as well, but because she made us think outside the usual school social politics bullshit. that's what creates individuals. hippie teachers rock.

Lots of people walk in my neigborhood. Jogging walking dogs, etc.
And I'm always out in the yard doing yard work cause I enjoy it very much. And I always get guys who will be like 'whats up with the New York Yankees', or 'Cincinnatti didnt do too good this week huh?' And Im like what? Like what are you talking about? What made you ask that question. And then I have to tell them I'm not into sports and I don't really know.

Then about an hour or two later I go in the house and figure out the reason they are always asking is because of my stuipid hat!!

Get the dvd - now! - Miguel. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

Or get the 2007 calender.

I'm joining late here, but I don't hate sports -- I just don't think they have much utility beyond certain limits.

Up to college, I played lots of sports. I was lame at some skills and GREAT at others: My aim wasn't great, my upper body strength has always been average at best, and my hand/eye coordination was fair only if I kept up practice (which I usually didn't). But I was naturally agile, really fast, had awesome lower body strength and could intimidate rivals if not with superior physical presence, with a gift to really screw with their heads through strategy and talking wild trash. (I think sports are 50% physical aptitute, 50% psychic terrorism.)

But to me, all that was fun and games... and maybe a way to build confidence and comraderie amid developing males. I guess it's a practical method for many boys, but I was pretty darned confident early on by way of intellectual and artistic pursuits. And, as Anx suggested, I just didn't get the whole alpha male gratification thing through competitive domination. And now, as an adult, sports have even less of a point to me. They're a decent way to blow off steam, but how do they improve the world -- except perhaps as a vent to primal aggressions?

As Lesbians go, I can only think that part and parcel to some of the personal challenges they face is engaging ways to assert their value on their own terms. Let's face it: Women are subject to a bizarre paradox -- they are seen as valuable... but mostly in relation to what they can do for/with men. Lesbians throw that whole notion on its ear -- and I think physical domination is one of the most natural and most easily accessible extensions of that.
