What sports do progsters follow?

The art crowd is stereotyped as being non-competitive when it comes to sports and athletics.

Figure scating (watch).

Nothing, really. I'm fairly active in cycling myself, but don't watch it. I might watch a soccer game if I stumble across one and I'm in the right mood for it.

Football (Soccer).

Yep, count me as one of the weedy non-competitive anti-sports arty crowd. I do watch the Tour de France cycle race every year (sometimes live but mostly on TV) but that's about it. Actually I'm ridiculously over-competitive, but hoplessly inept at every sport I've ever attempted, which makes the whole it's not the winning it's the taking part ethic so unpleasantly displeasing when you have absolutely zero chance of winning anything other than bruises and sympathy, when what you really want to do is grind your opponents face into the dirt (which didn't go down well at the chess club) - If I can't win I really do want to get even, so the only solution is not to compete in the first place. {I've tried them all: canoe polo, roller hockey, field hockey, football, judo, rugby, cricket, squash, badmington, rounders, netball, darts, cheese skittles, dominoes, croquet, bowls, running, jumping, standing still - absolute rubbish at each one} - I can waffle for England - does that count?

US football whether it's pro, college or high school is fascinating to me.  It's the only sport that I will sit through an entire game.

Mostly tennis for us. I was able to convince Jean of soccer and converted her into a Schalke fan, like all of my family. She did not quite manage to turn me into American football and becoming a Raiders fan, though I definitely prefer American football to baseball. But tennis is the sport we play ourselves.

I was looking down the list looking for the world's greatest game. It's not there.

I'm antithetic to sports, out of, mainly, being lazy to get into any. Of course, some are dangerous for my hands, but others, like swimming (which I dislike), are well-indicated.

I like instead to watch some sports. Not football, the entire stupidness and weak-play in my country makes me reticent to it , but mainly some great tennis (I'm actually a good fan, as of late), figure skating (and wintersports), some athletic games, snooker etc.
