>When I worked an office job, they had a sports jersey day. I didn't wear one and a group of guys joked about it. I said that I didn't like to watch sports. They said "what kind of man doesn't like to watch sports?" I said "one that doesn't tie his masculinity to watching other men tackle each other in spandex pants." Not a single rebuttal.
I don't know, maybe they just liked to watch men compete and maybe gamble on it a little? Lighten up a little - chances are, whatever you enjoy instead of sports is a waste of time as well. Perhaps even you're tying your intelligence, or some other attribute to it ;)
