Ah, free enterprise. Gotta love it. I just do not see the point. Well, I do not get most pro sports, either. Too much money paid to people who probably would do it for less, or free.

I get tired just watching sports. I'm not really into anything in particular. I get sick of the importance people place on football around here for a start. Soon as I moved to Glasgow one of the first things they asked was what team I supported (often before asking my name  ) And they seem absolutely shocked that I don't have a favourite team. (So now I just say Arsenal, and that generally shuts them up). 
Channel 5 has a lot of US sports on really late at night. My friend in Fresno CA tried to explain American Football to me once, and then gave up. I think she decided I wasn't going to be converted to a sports fan when I said I watched cricket as I liked the outfits.

Okay, the outfits, one reason to watch football (ours, not yours). Nice tight spandex.  I do not understand the rules of football. It takes thirty minutes to make a five minute play. At least I understand soccer. The boys played it enough in summer league. My favorite sport is volleyball. I guess because I grew up playing it. And I do not mind soccer. But baseball? I just went to watch the girls play. If they were not playing, I read a book.

That's the reason my friend gave for watching it as well. I was just a bit too confused to fully appreciate it.

Too confused to appreciate the spandex???  I am never THAT confused.

Yeah, but I am very good at 'confused'. I can do 'confused' under any circumstances.

(Female) Writer for the local City Paper did an article on that very topic, saying that women have the best of both worlds: we can love the game for both the game itself and the - ah ahem - uniforms.
I must admit I miss Brady Anderson.

I have a thing about baseball catchers. I don't know what it is...maybe the powerful legs? Anyway, I started watching baseball when I was a little girl with my Dad, and really got into the game itself. But then, I hit adolescence and suddenly, I realized there were some really hot guys playing my favorite game!
Boy are we  !!!
But then again, everything seems to come around to this, doesn't it? |

Yeah, I can be the dumbest chick on the planet when it suits me. It is an art.
