With that much assuming you would prosper in the current affairs section.
Seems odd to me that anyone would be so blinkered as to be amazed to find another person who is not interested in team sports.
Football, rugby, and cricket have millions of followers, but I come across people all the time who don't follow those sports.
But I also have a television.

seems odd to me too, but then again so do a lot of things, ......still don't understand what whether or not I have a tv has to do with not being interested in football or rugby etc

Never got my head round watching 22 blokes in shorts, But hey ho. But i do know a guy who cannot talk about anything else, thankfully we do not see much of him, he will try and bring football into any conversation, it's always we did this we did that, does not matter how many times i tell him he did nothing, it goes in one ear and out the other.

The thing about Arsenal is, they always try to walk it in.
It's a bit of an in-joke on this forum.

Despite having no interest or knowledge of any sports... I always join in with enthusiasm with footy-chat at work.
"Did you see it when he kicked that ball in the net... it was amazing! The crowd went bonkers! And that pass, he kicked the ball to another player... never seen owt like it!"
Footy chat doesn't last very long when I'm around

I have little knowledge of or interest in sport. When a friend was talking about Alistair Cooke, I first thought that I hadn't taken him for a long term Radio 4 fan then I found he was talking about a cricketer. Conversely, my friend had never listened to Letters From America.
I've been a bit bemused by the headline coverage of the death of the US basketball player. All very sad for his family, of course, but I've never heard of him.

To me this is just another example of a failure to understand some people have a deep like, love, interest in something you dont...and then some try to demean them, some even suggest it should be banned...what the heck is wrong with people ? We're seeing this in many forms .
I'm no footie fanatic, I barely, loosely follow a team but still listen to discussions from folk infinately more knowledgeable than me, I might even offer a word but generally I just listen...same as I take the time to listen to various subjects I have little knowledge or interest in, if, the big if, it goes too far you just distance yourself a little.
You're supposed to get more crochety as you get older, I find myself being more zen, more relaxed, more understanding. This forum needs some positive stuff to talk about

I’d heard the name but I couldn’t have said for sure which of the American sports he (had) played.
At least it’s distracted the news programmers from the dreaded B
