I really enjoy watching any sport... TV, Live, etc. Live is always the best though.

I prefer watching baseball, football, and hockey if I have the option.

Playing, I love to play baseball. I could play baseball everyday and not get sick of it if I had the option to. Such a relaxing sport that actually takes a lot of physical and mental stamina to play and play well.

	I love watching football, starting to realize hockey isn't bad either. baseball is a woman's sport. I used to play baseball (hated it), and hockey (loved it) in leauges when i was much younger (middle/high school) and football and basketball with friends, but i've gotten very out of shape since then and probably couldn't do it anymore. ____________________		sj-gfx Arc-Nova.org Art Blog

Eh...I don't really care about watching as long as it's something to pass the time. Actually, all sports kinda died for me in terms of viewership. They just aren't like they used to be for me to watch anymore...the only thing I'll admit to wanting to watch out of the fact I knew others were doing as such was the Super Bowl and Indy...and that's about it. And Indy is about as monotonous as any to begin with anymore...HEY LET'S RACE IN CIRCLES HEY THEY'RE MAKIN' OTHER LEFT TURN! About the same as any of them, really...but if you're there to spend some time with one another, I don't have a problem watching them. I can at least get along enough to talk about it but I just don't prefer it.

As far as playing was concerned, I played sports since I was 4, starting with soccer, basketball when I was 6 and baseball when I was 8...sometimes two at once. It wasn't until I was 14 or 15 that my parents figured out that I wasn't really skilled at the physical aspects rather than the mental ones overall...they figured they could push both. Oh well.

So yea, wasn't really great at them, really didn't care for them.

Nobody's ever done a foxgirl, to my knowledge. And Disgaea's awesome, so... yeah.

Playing them? I can shoot a basketball, but that's about it. My lungs are fucked up from years of people smoking at me. :|

Watching... shit, I can watch pretty much any of the "major four" or so I call them (basketball, hockey, football, baseball). Of course, I usually prefer basketball and hockey... but I still like football and if there's nothing on I'll put on a Phillies game.

Hockey. By far the best sport to watch when two people fight each other. It's like watching wrestling which is also my second favorite (If you want to call it a sport that is. Heh)

I used to play baseball although that was quite a few years ago. As for watching sports on TV I don't usually watch them unless there isn't anything else on or if a certain sport is down to its final series of games (such as basketball and hockey right now).

I was on the swim team and water polo in high school and played some basketball in middle school.

Anyway, I most enjoy (American) football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and soccer. In that order.

I don't watch sports on TV much because I don't really have free time to do so, but if I could I'd watch American football religiously. I love it. I also like softball, but it's only on during the college world series. I only like watching it because I miss playing it.

Seeing live, hockey is one of my favorites. It's so fast and intense and there's so much energy in the stadium! I grew up going to lots of Ducks and Kings games with my family, and I guess I fell in love.

Playing, I love softball/baseball, American football (but not tackle, cuz I play with boys most of the time and they hurt me

), and hockey.

I like pretty much anything but golf and basketball. Golf because it's boring as fuck, and basketball because I'm TERRIBLE and it depresses me. It's the one sport I fail miserably at.

My sister's way more in to sports than me, she does all the stuff you'd expect kids to (baseball/softball, basketball, soccer...that sort of thing); I took the more artsy route and went straight past sports to music ;x don't watch sports too often unless everyone else in the apartment has it on and I'm really THAT bored. I do watch the super bowl though, even if I admittedly have no earthly idea what's going on. I was always pretty good at volleyball and racket-based sports (tennis and the like) but never really stuck with them seriously so I probably suck now. Still fun on occasion.

I love all of them (except baseball), including foreign sports. Sports fascinate me and I just love them all. I particularly like hockey, lacrosse, and Aussie rules football.

The only sport that I watch on TV anymore, is football.

I never got in to playing sports or watching them. Just never interested me in the slightest.

I still haven't been to a live football game yet.

I'm trying to hint at going to one for my birthday this year. Wonder if that'll happen. Been to a few hockey games and several baseball games before.

My dad used to get season tickets to Patriots games through his company, pretty nice seats too (I believe they sat clubhouse a couple of times)... I hear live football games are quite the experience.

I've only been to a Phillies game, and a few high school basketball games.

Both were definitely nice shows. I'm HOPING I can go to a Sixers game sometime, though I dunno if that'll be feasible for a long while. :|

Hockey, soccer and football would be the big ones for me. Then comes the stuff that I follow but might not watch regularly, like baseball, auto racing, college basketball...

I've been to hockey (Canadiens), baseball (Expos) and football (Alouettes) games; also watched a really fun women's soccer friendly a few years back between Canada and Brazil (which we won!).

I cannot, however, play sports for the life of me. I played one year of soccer when I was 8 or 9 years old and it was a farce.
