Why do you watch sports?

I like to watch certain sports because I enjoy them or learn certain techniques. I enjoy extreme sports such as skateboarding and skateboarding. I also enjoy watching various martial arts tournaments and competitions because I practice karate myself. I play softball, but I can't stand watching baseball games. So, I guess for me I watch to learn.

Well, for me it was a progression. In high school, I was a cheerleader, and began to understand football and basketball. Then I married my husband, and after a couple of years, added baseball to my knowledge. Next thing you know, I'm a huge fan of football and baseball (could do without basketball, it kind of bores me). My sons are huge soccer fans and players, so I have been learning all about that over the past 3 years. Its funny how a girl can go from, not caring about any sport, to becoming a fan. :O)

I only watch hockey and soccer (the world cup or euro cup only) because i like it. I also enjoy attending these sporting events live. When the olympics are on, i watch many different sports such as diving, swimming, racing, kayaking, ice skating, speed skating, figure skating, ski, acrobatic ski jump and so on. I never watch sports i don't enjoy and hubby likes to watch the same as me, so it's all good!

For me it's simple, for the beauty of it all!;) I don't watch sports just because I play or know them, I watch it because I am also a frustrated sports man!;) Seriously, I want to see how people who into sports execute such performance with grace and beauty. I also liked the feeling of being triumphant, how to conquer glory and defy whatever odds they face!;)

I like watching sports, but only sports that i like. I like sports because fresh our mind from stress. I like kind of sports like: 1. Women Volley ball 2. Atlhetics 3. Swimming Men and women. 4. Gymnastic. 5. Tennis 6. etc Kind of sports that i dislike: 1. Women Soccer 2. etc

Well I watch sports to be entertained and also to look at how skilled the athletes today are. I also watch sports with friends or because there is nothing else on tv worth watching.

I watch sports because not only do I enjoy it, I played sports in my younger days. I playd Netball, Basketball and Volleyball and enjoyed watching my brothers play Rugby and Soccer. I am an All Blacks Rugby fan, Silver Ferns Netball Fan and Miami Heat Basketball fan. I enjoy watching tennis, 1 day cricket and beach volleyball.

I'm a girl and I love to watch sports, especially those that I play like judo, and basketball. I watch them because they're fun and entertaining.

I watch sports because I actually enjoy it. The adrenaline rush and the comraderie as well. When I was a young teenager, my dad used to watch football every Sunday (which is usually when I was with him) and I didn't like it so much then. But, as I grew older, I chose to watch it for myself and found that I actually enjoyed it since it was "my choice". I only enjoy watching football and hockey. I've tried to get into basketball and baseball, but I just can't. I'm addicted to football. I watch the Thursday games, the holiday games, the Saturday games, 3 Sunday games and the Monday night football game. My daughter hates it as much as I hated it when my dad watched it all the time, but I tell her that it's only a season. Now that my son is into football and started playing last summer, we enjoy watching it together. I will watch hockey when I catch it on, but I'm not as addicted to it as I am football.

I watch football (soccer to americans) because I enjoy it, it is fast moving and skillfull. If everybody liked the same things life would be very boring.
