I used to think like you crumas, especially when I played cricket and football through highschool, I couldn' t stand watching them.

But for some reason now there is almost sport I get bored watching. I used to REALLY hate watching cricket matches, but it just changed for no reason what so ever =/

I can't watch basketball for very long stretches for some reason, even though I do enjoy what I watch.

Well, then perhaps there's hope that my dormant "sports-watching" gene will suddenly kick in.

I think you are better off not activating that gene if you have it. I personally think watching professional sports is a waste of time and really do not understand the fervor with witch so many people around the world watch. Think of what could be accomplished if all the energy that goes into pro sports was directed at something productive.

 

Funny but sad example, my brother in law cannot remember his aniversary or wifes birthday but can tell you the birthday of all the red sox(baseball team) players.
