People like to watch sports, what is so hard to understand about that? Yes, there is an obvious difference between participating, and spectating. But what is so "wrong" about being a spectator?

Most "big sports fans" that I know played that sport in high school, or with their friends growing up, etc. Just cause they don't play anymore doesn't mean they can't enjoy watching a game.

This thread still has no legit point.

 

I like sports, I like watching them and I like playing them. I play tennis and soccer quite often for fun and for my school for tennis. I don't understand what is wrong with saying you like sports if you are just a spectator though. I have never played football for a team unless you count just playing it with friends and still like the sport.

Also, I agree that there are too many people that are out of shape but I don't believe it is as bad as most people make it out to be like someone said earlier. My friends and I are all in good shape and range from the age of 16 to about 28 years old.
