Does anyone here watch/play sports?

Played soccer and basketball when I was small..Also skateboarded through middle school, hah.
Did competitive paintballing until I dedicated all my time to football in high school (dumb move since our team was horrid which made playing not that fun)
Did MMA till I got hurt, so I don't really do much. Ultimate Frisbee is always fun when you get enough people.
I'm an avid NFL fan (go Dolphins!), I love it. My favorite sport by far, followed by basketball.

I enjoy watching college basketball games. In particular, the Kansas University team.

Have played soccer at many levels since I was 5 years old (now 31). I spent a summer touring Europe playing in soccer tournaments before I decided to go to college in 1998. Have also ref'd and coached. I tore my Achilles last summer playing, so I have been sidelined since last July. I hope to start running again and getting some touches on the ball this spring.
I have also played, coached and ref'd a sport called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurling" for 5 years before I moved away.
I grew up in Green Bay, so I am a Packer fan. I try to watch the games if they are on TV. In my current state of lameness due to my Achilles injury, I have watch quite a few EPL games on TV. I try to follow any teams with Americans playing in England.

I generally don't watch sports.
I have played soccer, run, cycled, canoed, practiced tae kwon do (and kempo, kung fu, and MMA) and done outdoor activities. I prefer to participate than spectate. Once in a while, I might catch a football (soccer) match. I don't care who wins, I just like watching skilled players.
Lately, I'm too busy, except to go walking.

The only competitive sports I've ever played regularly were bowling from when I was in elementary school until sometime in high school, and golf intermittently from high school onward. When I started teaching here, the other members of my department all played golf so it was natural for me to join them. But I haven't done that in many years, as my original colleagues retired or moved on to other jobs.
I used to be into non-competitive bicycle touring, taking long rides on weekends and shorter rides during the week, either by myself or with a bicycle club. But I stopped that about ten years ago after getting sideswiped by a pickup truck, and not having enough time any more to ride a lot anyway. I figured I'd get more exercise by walking instead of cycling to work, so now I walk everywhere I can, and probably average about an hour a day walking from one place to another in town.
My choices for watching sports on TV are limited because I don't have cable or satellite TV, just the broadcast stations we can get with an antenna on the roof. I'm not a big sports fan, but I do watch major events (basketball Final Four this weekend, the Masters golf tournament, the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Olympics), and I watch some pro and college football games during the season.

I don't have time to watch sports, but I made an exception for the World Cup. 
When I play sports, soccer is my game of choice. I started playing when I was 5 and, like Norman, continued playing on many levels until I decided to go back to school about two years ago. I played (american) football for a couple years during high school and didn't like it.

I enjoy playing sports because it is social and exercise.
As far as watching sports: This is something I agree with so I do not contribute to corporatized sports affiliations haha.

I play anything sports. My favorite is Soccer. I have been playing it since I was 5. I would also play basketball, football, and tennis. I did paintball and its been years since I have gone. I am hoping to play sometime soon. I also work out in the gym at my school. I'm open to any sport really haha.
As for watching sports, I would follow the USA Men's National Soccer Team and the San Diego Chargers (Football). Of course, the biggest thing I would follow is the World Cup! Ha!
