Guys who aren't into watching or playing sports: Gay?

If a guy says he doesn't enjoy sports, do you start to think he might be gay?

I'd think being into sports would be more homosexual than a lack of interest. Whenever I think of classic "sports", I think of a bunch of drunk guys in a room, screaming and getting excited about big, sweaty men ramming into each other at full force. Repeatedly.

It's funny how stereotypes like that work out, though. I was called gay ENDLESSLY for being a cheerleader for a semester in high school. I fail to see how hanging out with a bunch of chicks who, since they are used to there being no guys, aren't modest in the least can be considered gay. They wore SUPER short shorts, talked about each others' boobs and whatnot, and did things like pulling up the bottoms of the front of their shirts until the shirt was sitting on top of her boobs, to help cool off. There's also a ridiculous amount of drama, though, and I didn't enjoy that at all, but still. It's just silly.

This is a great question. When I was in NY, MOST of my straight friends were not into sports at all. Actually all of their weekend time was spent looking for chicks. Only time they would even think about sports was the superbowl. So my answer is NO. Strange thing is, when I moved to AZ, it seems a lot more people here are into sports. Almost everyone I talked to, even gay guys, are into sports here. When they ask me and I say I'm not into sports, they think I'm nuts. It might be that there isn't much to do here but sports related stuff. In NY, not watching sports didn't seem like a big deal.

No surprise. The average IQ in New York State is 109 and the average IQ in New York City is higher. The average IQ in Arizona is 94. That's a huge difference, statistically speaking.

This has to be one of the most inane questions I've heard. Turn it around...Women who aren't into cooking, cleaning and procreating: Gay? Guys who aren't into watching or playing sports: Gay? Are these really the parameters used to prejudge sexual orientation? Sad...

Ditto.

I know a couple of straight guys who aren't into watching sports at all...
lots of people would tend to think that's gay, but that is quite ridiculous...

A lot of straight men aren't interested in sports, but they're in the closet....about not not liking sports, not about their sexual orientation.

I don't know. Yankees set MLB attendance record. Jets and Giants have a ten year waiting list for season tickets, Rangers and Knicks regularly sold out, until the recession.

Were your straight friends from NY or transplants?

I do have to agree with a couple of the other posters, many people who can still play, would prefer to be out there doing, as opposed to home watching. I used to do both. Play during the day, and record the games to watch at night.

They were all NYer's born and raised, as I am, with one from Africa. I'm not saying every NYer wasn't into sports, but the crowd I've hung out with and went to school with did so many other things. Sure I knew people that love the subway series and killed for season tickets, but the majority of the guys I knew were whoring around more :). You never heard them talk about how the mets suck or ever see them play or watch games. Its just the people I hung out with, of course everything is very localized and you tend to hang out with people that are similar to you. We hung out in the city every weekend, drank, go to clubs, did crazy things. It was never a main focus to sit down a watch a game. My point is, not everyone is a sports fanitic. There is way too much to do in NY. I've lived in NY for 33 years and the variety of people there is great. I was only going by my experience.

I only like tennis. So I don't like a lot of sports and I am gay, but I don't know if that has got anything to do with it.
If someone would say they weren't into sports, that would certainly not make me think they're gay. Some people are just like me...(read: lazy)
OMG! :eek: You mean to tell me all gay men are lazy!?! :confused: Why the hell didn't I pick up on that before.

Yes, there are gay guys who are into sports, and straight guys who are not, but in general, if a guy says he's not into sports, do you associate that with being gay?
Back in the day, before I actually knew any gay people I may have thought that. Now I'm more likely to think they are just a nerd or geek. :biggrin1:

When a guy dislikes major team sports, I think people start to believe he may be gay.
I know exceptions, of course, but we do tend to think in generalities. Now, figure skating is another story.
I know. I still can't get over Scott Hamilton being straight! :eek: That just turned my little world upside down.

I was on my high school's varsity volleyball team.
And we were the state champions!
see.... I play sports.
( i also was in the drama club)
Yeah but volleyball is a gay sport for men and women. :biggrin1::tongue:

LOL

I seriously think that some things just interest some people and others don't. Whether they think you are gay if you don't watch sport, is debate able, but that they definitely wonder what's up, is a fact.

Oh and we know what's up right?

God, did I endure that accusation as a young man more interested in books than contact sports.

Funny, though, 35 years later I'm in much better physical shape than most of those teenage jocks whose main pastime now is parking themselves in front of the TV evenings and weekends.

As a photog, I deal with many Dallas male escorts...rentboys...whores. Their biggest regular clientele are NFL football players, NBA, Major League Baseball, etc....as well as Baptist preachers, priests, judges, politicians, bankers. The hypocracy about gays and sports and stereotypes is all bullshit. These athletes are mostly married men with families but they rent a cock every Thursday at 2PM for $300 per hour. Many are total bottoms and need to be fucked by a butch hung man. It is pathetic and sad. So please don't think that just because a man is a sports nut that he is hetero. Some of his idols love cock in their asses. The closet is still very much alive in sports.

Guys who aren't into watching or playing sports: Intelligent?

I have honestly never scene a fortune 500 or famous inventor or philosopher, watching sports. If they do, then it is usually high adrenalin short duration sport.

Golf is one strange exception. Execs are now taking to surfing, according to what i've heard on bloomberg.

When someone expresses his dislike for professional and college football, the average Joe is very perplexed. They think, "What is wrong with you?" :confused::confused:

When someone expresses his dislike for basketball or baseball, the average Joe is just a little surprised and might think you're a little unusual.

Other sports, society doesn't really care if you like them or not. It's optional, although rednecks might force you to like Nascar:biggrin1:.

I don't see the gay label being put on men who don't like sports, considering that gay men are often presumed to hate sports.

That's very american of you.:rolleyes:

I'm an avid sports player, I don't mind watching a few of them, but I've never been a football watching fan. Does that make me gay, or straight?

Personally, I think it's a slightly weaker stereotype. I know a few guys who eat, drink, and fuck sports and they are as gay as the sun is bright. I also know a few straight guys who are not into sports at all.. no play no watch.

It's just a preference depending on ability and parenting.

Yes. Any man who doesn't like to sit around with a bunch of dudes at a bar, watching other dudes run around in tight clothes chasing balls around, MUST be totally gay.

I don't like to watch sports, but it has nothing to do with my sexual orientation. It has more to do with the fact that I think that sitting on your ass watching other people do shit is fucking lame.
