It depends on what you mean by sports. I'm not competitive at all and I hate to being put into a competitive situation (job "hunt" most of all, UGH) Its probably why I find yoga and cycling so appealing.

I guess it all depend on what you consider a sport. Alot of people have a diffferent definition of that word.
I am a sports nut. I play paintball competetivly, I like traditional archery(60# longbow), I play pick-up games of football when I can. I used to do some kickboxing when I was younger.

I used to be a big football and hockey fan when I was younger living in Buffalo. I keep an eye on football because I am in a fantasy league with some friends; but that is just so I can keep in touch. My passion is the outdoors. Hunting and fishing is way better than watching sports.

*raises hand* Me. I lift and/or run most every day and have for half my life. But I'm definitely not "into" sports in the sense of having any emotional investment in any teams or following a season or whatnot.

I like the experience of going to a live event at an arena (esp. hockey or football, & dirt track racing). Some sports are fun to watch on TV, as long as you're really paying attention... I can get into the skills and the drama playing out. But it's different when you don't care who wins vs. what a fan is getting out of it. I usually just root for whoever's on offense ("score!") and that way I just appreciate the good plays.

Really though - I don't care if I'm not involved. I used to love playing football and soccer and Ultimate Frisbee in school but if I'm not playing and don't have money riding on it (!) then... hey, not my concern.

I'm not into sports. Not even watching them. But I am into fitness and health.

I'm not much of a sports fan, except for the local football team, and then it's only to the point that I want to know whether they won or lost. I used to absolutely love working out, and am getting back into it now after many years out of the habit.

lol....we surely can admit it, but I don't think you'll find many guys around these parts that don't like sports. I know there's a few (not me), I'll be curious to see how many people there are.

Are there guys out there that are into fitness, the gym etc, but not into sports? Can we admit this in the men's lounge?
