13 Things You Can Relate To If You're A Guy Who's Just Not Into Sports

By Arslan Athar | 12 Sep, 2017

Sports, you either love it or hate it to the core of your heart. If you’re just not into sports you’ll hate everything about it. Watching it, talking about it and worst of all actually playing a particular sport.

Here are some things you will connect with if you weren’t a sports lover:

 

1. You’re at an instant social disadvantage during big events and matches

Growing up, and through some of adulthood, sports plays an integral part as to whom you connect and bond with. Its apparently a way men get together. But you’re not up for it so almost immediately you have to try about a million times harder to make friends.

2. You’ve often been asked your favorite team but you never have an answer to that

That’s an awkward few moments. Someone asks you your favorite team, you stutter a little bit and blurt it out. ‘I don’t follow sports’. If you’re lucky the person asking will change topics but then there are some idiots who’s follow up question is ‘koi sports nahin dekhte?’.

3. You sometimes consider lying through big events and games

4. Growing up, you hated when all the kids would drop everything else to play a “match”

You’d be something lame like defender or fielder (or whatever they’re called), sweat a little and pray to God that the game end soon, or that your parents decide to leave early. (PS neither would happen)

5. You enjoy playing video games… until it turns out the video game is a FIFA one

Oh the joy 🙁

Not like it was hard enough to have conversations and make friends. Sports entering the virtual world is just a new headache to add. But let’s not be so harsh. you could probably play the video game version, if not the real deal.

6. Big matches ruin your day because everyone else’s hangout plans are around watching them

Cricket World Cup or the Football Premiere League whatever that nonsense is called has a major match on Sundays. Most people will just be available at that time and you’ll just sit home and wallow in self pity.

7. You have even tried to enter a game your friends were playing, only to leave because you embarrassed yourself

You’ll bowl, and the ball will go anywhere but where you wanted it to go. You’ll try to bat and you’ll get out even before the bowler bowls the ball. You’ll even try football, but that high speed ball will almost certainly crush your own balls. Oh Lord, this is why you hate playing anything.

8. There’s always that one friend who tries their best to explain things to you

Let’s face it, it won’t work.

9. Even though you know shit about sports, you’ll still watch the Pakistan vs India match

Everyone watches that, and no matter if you get sports or not, there’s no joy like seeing India being defeated.

10. You probably will never be able to watch TV when it’s any sports ka season.

Thank God for Netflix, waisay

11. You would much rather have a fight with friends over  political discussion than a sports match

At least you know the names being thrown around there.

Sports may be great and all, but its just not your cup of tea. And you know what, that’s okay. Screw the people who tell you otherwise.
