?!? How about: just have better things to do with their time?

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.
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...
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...
The reason I don't watch sports isn't because I'm against sweaty men rubbing against each other, it's simply because I find it boring as hell.
What makes you say that?
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.
Another common American stereotype.....
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.
OMG! You mean to tell me all gay men are lazy!?! Why the hell didn't I pick up on that before.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)
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: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?
When a guy dislikes major team sports, I think people start to believe he may be gay.
I know. I still can't get over Scott Hamilton being straight! That just turned my little world upside down.I know exceptions, of course, but we do tend to think in generalities. Now, figure skating is another story.
I was on my high school's varsity volleyball team.
Yeah but volleyball is a gay sport for men and women. :biggrin1::tongue:And we were the state champions!
see.... I play sports.
( i also was in the drama club)
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?
When someone expresses his dislike for professional and college football, the average Joe is very perplexed. They think, "What is wrong with you?"
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.
