I'm not interested in watching sport!

Each to his/her own. I have also played a lot of sports, there are some sports I will go out of my way to watch, others I have no interest in at all. I tend to avoid tennis as once I'm into a match I have to watch it to the end and tbh I am too busy doing other stuff and it's really time consuming! I can appreciate anyone who plays sport at a high level though. OH is totally disinterested in sport and it doesn't bother me at all as it means he gets on with "jobs"

My DH always has the TV on, and some sport on. In summer it's baseball, golf, Canadian football. He hardly actually sits and watches it, he listens to it while puttering, then will stop if something exciting happens. I'm used to it, I just can't handle when curling is on!

I do love to watch the Olympics though, especially sports I don't get to see often, like diving or slalom ski racing.

The only thing I will say positive is that I've seen some very lovely golf courses and it makes me want to travel to different locations. The recent tournament was in Lake Tahoe, Nevada and it looks stunning there.

I am not interested in tennis either we used to play tennis badminton and cricket at school it seemed much more fun then. I liked hockey and rounders and was good at long jump.
When I was in my twenties I went the gym for keep fit and swimming. I started self defence classes because of the job I doing. I remember telling the instructor he was a wimp he was teaching us to dance around an attacker I didn't think it would be effective dealing with a thug on the street.
I went to the occasional football match but lost interest after a particular tragedy. I even stopped watching the game on tv.
I like boxing I watched it with my dad who boxed when he was young. I started watching the occasional rugby game again with my dad. My dh asked me to go to a rugby match about fifteen years ago now we love the game. Rugby union not league and we are members of a rugby club we have lunch then watch the match. I’m still learning the game there are lots of rules..

There is very little sport I’m interested in, either doing or viewing, apart from cricket. I like the long form and I’ve shared a subscription with my dd so we can both watch the Ashes. It’ll be cancelled after the series is over.

Dh and I do workouts with a PT but I find it deadly boring. I’m always thinking of something else I could be doing that’s far more productive.

Can’t stand Wimbledon avoid it like the plague
Not keen on watching any sports unless it’s something special to get caught up in the moment like when the ladies won the football
As for cricket 😴

I'm not in the least bit interested in watching sport either, particularly tennis. I hated it with a vengeance when we had to freeze to death on a court in April at age 11. Watching it only brings back the worst memories. My husband used to watch football and formula one but got so annoyed with the presenters that now he watches them at double speed...or faster, and fast forwards through all the " yakking" particularly by the "crisp man".

I hate sport. We went to Wimbledon many years ago. My husband was given tickets. That's a few hours of my life I won't get back.

Watching sweaty men (or women) racing around a field, whilst kicking, throwing or hitting a ball, with any kind of implement, is my idea of hell. It seems so utterly pointless and mind bendingly boring, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes. But any kind of sport where vehicles and speed are involved can hold my attention for hours.

I used to play tennis and netball and do enjoy watching good tennis matches.
A mucky game of rugby is enjoyable to watch, too!

However, games like snooker are like watching paint dry. 😴

I've played badminton
Oh yes, I played badminton at college.
My DC were/are all very sporty.

Are you me?

Just wondering!

I am only interested in my team in AFL ( go St. Kilda) and that’s all I watch. They don’t win things, unfortunately. My husband loves all sport and we watch tv in different rooms when he is watching cricket, rugby etc. I used to watch tennis but not much now, don’t really know most of the players anymore.

I'm the same, I cannot see the point in moving a ball from one place to another or watching other people do it. Last week before the news Wimbledon was on BBC1 & 2, I meant to complain but forgot

Can’t stand tennis but could happily sit through a five day test match! I compromise with wireless headphone on one ear and TMS on the radio!

Well I feel the same and don't get me on the subject of football!
Have no interest in any of it at all but each to their own as they say.

Fly in the ointment here. I love watching sport and the two weeks of Wimbledon have been great. I like football as well but I’m obviously in the minority.

Another here who doesn't watch sport, and has never willingly taken part!
Actually that isn't quite true, I played tennis occasionally at school and at the tennis club which was situated across the ends of the back gardens in our road where I grew up, being sent there for lessons. I think what put me off, was the constant shouting and shrieking of the players while I was trying to have a bit of peace in the garden, and the incessant requests to have balls thrown back which the players kept lobbing over the fence!

Why I wonder, considering how many people seem to have no interest in watching sport, does the BBC spend so much of the licence payers money on it, and even worse, on pundits. We absolutely hate world cup or Olympic summers.

I do not like sport. I played netball and tennis at school and badminton with a friend when I was in my early 20's. Not at any more. Tennis - I just cant get enthused by, Football leaves me cold. Horse racing is a no no. I can tolerate athletics but must admit I have started to watch a little bit of cricket. Why cant there be a designated channel for all sports, using maybe BBC 3 and 4 during the day, or some of the ITV additional channels.

Love football, cricket, six nations rugby and occasionally watch snooker and golf, I used to avidly follow the Grand Prix season. I had a football season ticket years ago before I got an allotment, we both take part in our local pub’s Super Six (an online Sky football predictor competition). Not long now until kick off, fourth Test starts tomorrow and The Open starts Thursday.

I’m not a big fan of watching sport on TV either. I do occasional go and watch a football match with my family and enjoy the atmosphere but I much prefer watching a good film or drama on TV. My 88 year old mother is glued to the tennis.

Every year I spend my afternoons following the Tour de France on ITV4. It's into the last week now, but the scenery has been stunning, especially in the mountains. I can't understand the sport at all - totally baffling - but I don't care. I call it my summer holiday!

I enjoy Wimbledon, ice skating and gymnastics but not anything else.

I never tune in. Sporting events just don’t interest me. Any of them ... Wimbledon, football, the Olympics, rugby. No thanks, I’m happy reading my book. Good job we’re all different though as life would be pretty boring if we were all the same.
