Anybody here lift yet thinks following sports is a waste of time?

Anybody here lift yet thinks following sports is a waste of time?

I like sports and I like following it but there is no denying it is a monumental waste of time

I stopped caring about sports years ago. I'd probably care more if I actually played a sport but I'll stick to lifiting.

Agreed. Played sports growing up, couldn't care less now. All it is mass consumerism and waste of time. Collegiate sports is a fucking racket and I don't understand why the fuck the NFL is non-profit. I just watch Formula 1 racing now, if that counts

>tfw everyone assumes I'm into sports because I lift

Please stop talking to me I have no idea what happened in the game last night

Baseball and soccer are the only Veeky Forums approved sports.

I don't really follow any sports but I'll still watch a big football or basketball game occasionally

>is entertainment a waste of time

in terms of productivity to further the progress of best quality life for the human race, yes it is.

Muh sports

This. The only people i see talking about sports at work ad nauseam are dyels and women anyways. No i dont give a fuck if lebron might get traded

I can't catch a fucking ball for the life of me and people always assume I do sports because I look fit. It kinda sucks not having anything to talk about with some other guy you don't even know. The other thing is cars but I'm not even interested in that either.

If you consider baseball and american football a sport the answear is yes

Civilizations who took sports competition seriously and loved it

>Greeks
>Romans

Civilizations who set the motions of western civilization in action which improved the quality of our world 10,000 times better than it was before.

>Romans


Sports are good for society, you don't have to watch them, but don't ever fucking downplay their contribution to society.

watching sports is a cuck hobby except when you watch athletes to learn from their technique

well, they took olympic disciplines seriously, which are showcasing the different feats humans can achieve. Which is nice.
On the other hand, watching team sports is a waste of time

Yeah same, following sports is only fun if you're actively playing too. I really stopped caring after high school.

I dont mind watching a game if my friends want to put it on but I don't go out of my way to watch games anymore

dont bother mate. people here dont differentiate, everything is black and white. When somone or something is good at something that means it/he/she is perfect in every aspect and should be followed without question

>why the fuck is the NFL non-profit.

I don’t think it is anymore actually.

You have to think of sports as a stand-in for the sort of gladiatorial and military activities of the past that we don’t really participate in anymore. Just look at the sort of figurative laurels elite athletes get. Also throw in the fact that teams are defined by geographical regions and this adds to the tribalism aspect. Pretty straight forward.

That said, it is a waste of time yes, but I don’t see how it’s an any bigger waste of time than most other forms of entertainment such as watching TV. You can’t train and work 100 percent of the time anyways. I went to 16 MLB games this year either with friends or my GF and I don’t think any of them were a waste of time as I enjoyed being in good company and being outside doing something I enjoy. Not really any different than doing any number of enjoyable activities on the weekend (fishing, going to the theatre, etc.) Sounds like you’re overthinking things.

Basketball is the only good sport. It precludes fatties from participating, requires good conditioning to be successful at, manlets can succeed at a high level too so no excuses, it's not boring as fuck to play and watch like baseball/soccer, it's not stupidly violent like football, it's the easiest to play under a broad range of circumstances with just yourself and a ball even you can get some decent practice in, manipulating a 1.5lb ball is incredibly good for shoulder health, it requires supreme fine motor control, it requires a person be athletic in all planes of motion not just straight forward speed/power and in spite or your deluded poltard pathetic brainwashed mind thinks it's a game played predominantly by white people all over the globe and was invented by a white man for white people but your racist cuck brain can't get over the fact black people are good at it too bad they can but your fat racist manlet dweeb ass can't, bitch.

Jerome you're supposed to use your welfare money for food not for computer stuff.

Being obsessed with watching sports is for cuckolds.

Playing sports is a different matter.

Only the greeks loved sport.

Romans loved action and blood, they weren't sports lovers, they were circus n blood lovers.

I pay attention to my team (Canucks) mostly so I can talk shit with people about how bad we are. Good normie small-talk fuel, I just catch highlights and look at the postgame stats so not a huge waste of time.

I agree that sports are a huge waste of time, but most leisure activities are. I played football in high school and was on a college rugby team, but I can't say I ever watched too much of it.

I do love hockey though. There's not much better than getting the guys together with our girls and going to watch the local team play on a Friday night. I'd much rather do that than shitpost on here.

Go back to your containment board you fat uncoordinated autist

Playing sports is great.
Watching sports is meh

But playing sports is what got me interested in watching them. I can't imagine wanting to watch sports if I never participated in them.

Sports are like porn for Veeky Forumsness

Sports can be fun when it is playoffs or just visiting a stadium to hang out and eat. But yeah, it is a kids game played by others. I would rather just play myself or better myself in other ways

Only plebs watch sport

this desu senpai

Playing sports is fun, and occasionally watching them but remembering every player on every team and every score gets boring as fuck

>non combat sports
never gonna make it brah

>Come on football! Go! Go!
>Aw, come on! Play football!

All I hear when I watch people watch sports on TV...

She is 14 you FREAK

Watching other men play sports is cuckoldry. You gotta get in the game to really know it.

Opiates are the opiate of the masses these days.

Yes.

But, to be fair, the same could be said about a lot of things. (including Veeky Forums, for that matter.)

I get hyped for the latest UFC or boxing meme fight but that's about it.

Wow, OP is a serious beta faggot!
If you don't love sportball, you are NOT a big, strong man! All man love to slam dunk the goals!
If you think you are big muscles BUT you dont get erections when they pass the ball. then you are GAY!
men cannot kiss woman if he has never touched downed before. Simple.
"GO TEAM!"

I watch strong man from time to time, sometimes highlights for MMA fighters. That's largerly it.

I don't think its a waste of time, everyone needs some entertainment, I can't be bothered following any sports religiously though.

sports is the fucking best entertainment there is. fuck your boring anime the real thriller is watching your favorite team in the superbowl.

Maybe if you're a spic

I don't play them, but don't think they are a waste of time. The sense of camaraderie between team mates is a great feeling, especially if most are on the same page. Also seeing genetic freaks run around and do crazy shit is also fun.

I do think it is stupid when people just spend all their time watching it though.

>Greeks fed people to the lions

Retard. The worst blood sport the Greeks had was wrestling.

daily reminder baseball is objectively the worst spectator sport ever

...

you meant to say hockey, but it's okay if you don't know any better

Go back to your hug box, faggot.

not really seeing the correlation

>christians
>people

nope. /sp/artan checking in.
>tfw i've gotten jobs from must shooting the shit talking baseball with old men.

Went to my first base ball game at 27 years old. Sox vs Jays. Fucking baseball is boring as fuck

>he only lifts
Reckon I'd heem you easy

I like sports, but it's totally fine if you don't. Just so long as you don't act autistic and getup in my face about not liking sports.

I wish I was that guy :(

Greeks stole everything from Egypt, River Nile civilizations

The twins are cucks, your goalies a shit and your coach gets finger blasted by his assistant.

Enjoy never watching your team in the playoffs.

No1 cares about Hockey user except Canadians

>but don't ever fucking downplay their contribution to society.
wow what a fag

this

Sports are a proving ground of intelligence and athleticism.

>inb4 "you don't need to be smart to sport"
Often times that's the reason that someone ISN'T put onto a team.

Watching sports is a waste of time, they don't bring any benefits at all. It doesn't matter if your team is winning you wont make money out of it.

no

I don't listen to anti-racists. Fuck off, I was even beginning to agree with you.

Sport is something you should do yourself, watching sports is for fat fucks or retards.

Oh no so awesome these club has won against the other club yeah lets talk about how Dipshit played the ball along to Assfuck yeah that was such an amazing event I literally stood up from the sofa and cheered fuck yeah.

>start to get fit
>more and more people ask me if I "saw the game" or other sports shit
>little do they know my only other hobbies are vidya, Veeky Forums and porn.

that's not how it works reject

ITT: unco-ordinated retards who classify moving a bar 4 inches in a straight line as a sport because they've never been able to throw a ball in a straight line and chad always picked them last in gym class.

Sports are the ultimate contest of teamwork, resilience, athleticism and strategy, just because they are hard doesn't mean they're a waste of time.

My favourite thing about sports is the spectacle of the contest. The final play of a tied championship game is an incredible amount of pressure and requires someone to show immense composure, skill, and athletic ability. There are years of dedication on the line for the players and it's very entertaining and exciting watching other people cope with that in a public arena. Becoming tied emotionally to a team or club allows you to buy in on it and it's great fun. Quit being a pack of spergs and enjoy normal shit.

Sports prevent kids from getting fat. American schools should force kids outside with a ball for an hour and a half every day like we do in Australia. Standing by the lockers talking about vidya is what breeds skinnyfat beta numales.

At my school there was just a dumpster full of footys and flat grass as far as the eye could see and you weren't allowed inside between 11 and 1130 and then again at 1 until nearly 2.

Don't get me wrong, there are still packs of retards on the grass talking about computer games and even just on their laptops, but now you can kick a football at them to try and force them to burn off at least part of their chocolate covered frosted flakes and mid morning cake.

Training for ultimate performance in a sport is worthwhile, personally I think following a sport you don't play or didn't play is silly

why is it dumb for people who were never able to play sport to watch it?

depends on what prevented someone from playing, my point is, i play amateur football, as well as watch professionals, but if I had to pick between watching and playing it's a no brainer. plus, improving aesthetics and strength not just for their own sake is motivating somewhat.

sports exist to give people an alternate tribe to their actual tribes, such as ethnic, national, religious, gender, etc.
it's population control for a multicultural society. you are watching children's sports glorified on a TV screen as if it should be the pinnacle of our attention and time and mindpower. it's all a little too easy...

how low IQ people cope

>teamwork, resilience, athleticism and strategy
trivial bullshit. build something. do something that actually adds value to people's lives rather than just sedating them.

yeah playing cant be beat, especially in team sports. I play Rugby and it's something else motivation wise when you wanna get strong so you can fuckin belt a big maori guy who's just smashed one of your boys.

Plus the game itself is so good for the gainz. I can never justify HIIT unless i'm training with my lads to fuck some cunts up. Can't let me teammates down.

Sports exist because the internet wasn't always around, kid, and people had to entertain themselves somehow.

I don't follow it but think I should. The drama that it takes to achieve champion status the likes of which Kobe Bryant, Lebron James or Bryan Cody have is something I should inform my soul with.

they were not blasted all over the national TV like its supposed to be the focus of people's lives, decrepid grandpa. back to your old navy cargo shorts.
