Somehow back in school, I never really got into the spirit of football. Sure the obvious advantages of ogling virile male eye-candy in really short shorts were abundant but after a while, all those bulging thighs and biceps tend to pale in comparison to the sheer boredom of trailing the spotted ball across the sea of green. Seeing that ball scatter from one end of the field to another has me slipping into a semi-comatose stupor in bare seconds - and not even Michael Owen undressing to a skimpy athletic jock can keep me awake.
Come do the haka!
Rugby is more my style since to be honest I like it rough occasionally - and there's nothing more violent and exciting than a hollering bunch of brawny brutes ready to wrestle you over just to get their hands on your ball. Leaves you with a few muddied bruises at the end but I have to admit it's worth it. Not only do I get to pound my frustrations on the nearest musclepacked idiot but I get to rub thighs with him in the mud too. A win-win situation if you ask me. Truth to tell, it's also one of the only games I've actually bought a ticket to watch.
Still, the sport I played often enough in school was hockey. Can see all you guys staring agog at the computer screen but it's actually true - not saying I did it all that well but I actually played hockey for at least 4 years back in school. Tennis and badminton was out for me since I had zero hand to racket to ball coordination. Found it much easier to handle a stick.
Perhaps the words dribbling drew my attention - or perhaps I always knew that I'd have the forbidden inclination to run after hunky athletes with a hard wooden stick. Nothing like wielding a powerful stick to ward off would-be opponents who wished to wrest my ball away from me - then again sometimes if they were hot enough, I tried to give them some leeway. :)

i've never really gotten into sports in school. i hated soccer, such a pointless game. if i played anything, it was badminton, only because there was hardly any running. i would dearly liked to have played basketball, what with handling extremely flexible projectiles. these days, my game is ultimate frisbee, with the OBLIGATION to fling things at people, and despite the insane amounts of running involved, the sadist in me overtakes whatever concern i might have for my half dead lungs.
you know, for a doctor, you sure have plenty of free time to update.
well you know those who like ballsy people don't like ball games, rather would just love to go to a "ball" with all the masquerade masks... that's being redundant, or that's also just being stereotypical of people. Bonne nuit!;-)
linking you up dude... you're "recreational" :) not to "commodify" you or what :)
Talking about sweat. Do all gay men hate sweat unless it's in a gym?? You're not the only one who doesn't seem to see football as an interesting sport (unless it's all that eye-oggling on David Beckham). Which reminds me, the only time (first and the last time) I ever watched a football match with my dad, while the footballers were all getting ready to go out to the field, where they were all lined up in the aisle, the cameras caught one guy crotch-scratching. LOL. It was funny in a way. Sadly, it wasn't enough to get me all psyched up for the next match.
To me, football is just a mindless game of 21 idiots (is it 21?) chasing after a ball in a field to try to kick it into another goal post. It's kind of silly if you ask me. No offence to football lovers out there. :)
By the way, you played hockey? OMG! That's... I'm speechles! But I can see why you're interested in hockey. All those dribbling and running after hot hunky guys with a wooden stick. Who wouldn't love hockey if you put it that way?
I used to play soccer all the time in high school...while I was so hoping I could get into the rugby team while they had more intimacy touching. Okay, that's pervy but true. :-)
Hockey? How masculine :-)
quicksilverlining, yeah, I do try my best to put up an update once a day. One of my resolutions.
remingdoy, thanks for coming by :)
God, I don't even now how many guys are in a football team! 21 could be possible though it sounds quite a lot!
It was a rough sport but I liked bruising people up too, shigeki :P
Paul
ah balls. i have my fair share of fun with them in school. With Table Tennis i mean.
Passing tiny little orangey-plastic balls on a table seemed so exhilarating and simple that i stuck to that sport for 4 years.
I seriously hated soccer as well, I have two left feet in this case. Big balls injure me. The football never fails to find its bulls-eye in parts which ached me most. Likewise with basketball. Haha. Big wuss here.
Gosh, I am a devotee of "Bedtime Stories" now! Just wait til you get a cult following. I have a feeling you will turn out like Dr. Derek Shepard. lolx
I am not into playing sports at all but I do enjoy watching other men playing. There is just something about men running after a ball and being completely forceful that turns me on.
I love men.
omg... sports... *sigh*
soccer is one ridiculous game and the only time i watched the world cup was 1998. because my then bf dragged me to watch it with him. at 3 in the morning! and we have biology class first thing the next morning. (no wonder i don't score in biology :P )
i'd rather read the result the next morning in paper.
the only sports i'd like to watch these day are of course, rugby and swimming and diving.
hiks. though i have my own hidden agenda, those are very good sports.
i dont play football, but futsal instead. a devoted Arsenal fan ;), I play tennis every weekend, n also into squash n badminton.
I only go for swimming on sunday morning when nobody around. easy for me to concentrate on what im doing. if not, either, i will find myself eating another person, or he is going to eat me instead..ha.ha..
Water polo. There you go guys. The players are already wearing speedos; have swimmer bodies; if they sweat who can tell,they are already soaking wet; little misfortunes happen like tugging eachother's suits off during play; added bonus, they get out of the water when they are done and voila, wet lycra! In my opinion it is the perfect sport. :P Best if watched from windows below the water line.
Paul.... 4 years of holding a long hockey stick? Hmmmmmmmm
Hockey player? Never tried that sport but have watched it a few times being played in school, quite fascinating I must say.
Was a rugby player in school however, until a stupid accident caused by playing on an uneven field that has been ravaged by gophers and moles, I ended carrying a ball, getting my feet stuck in a hole on the ground and falling down and having my opponents crushing me and my legs in the process, resulting in a broken leg, torn tendon and a complete ban on field sports...sigh!!!! Was to stupid at that time to sue to school, could have racked in millions hahahahahaha...
i have never played any sport period.
i just find football to be pointless (why run after that 1 ball? it doesn't make sense. btw, football has 22 players in it, 11 to each side :D) anything with racket is out. in fact anything with instrument is out. oh and i dread PE classes like a plague when i was in school.
what keeps me sweating these days are yoga classes, cardio and the occasional bodypump classes that i go to.
Oh yes, i almost forgot, You will be me, Squido.
Comment using the wrong account xD
World Cup? What's that?
I was never interested in football, basketball or any kind of ball. I used to be a sprinter though... which is a bit depressing considering these days I get winded just running for the train.
Can't get enthused about any team sports, except maybe baseball. Like a lot of guys who've commented already I prefer tennis and badminton ... and also gymnastics. :oP Not sure what that says about me, LOL.
You're definitely a card carrying homo after my own heart. ESPN? What's that? Is that next to Home & Garden TV?
khwaix, a cult following! :) that would be the day! Still, I can't play table tennis. Somehow racquets and bats are against me. I only play with hard sticks.
Thanks for coming by, koosin koosin. Sure we all know why we - and of course cr loves futsal!
musang, I won't disagree on the swimming and the diving :P
You play futsal :O Pakcik, I am impressed!
sue, I am so gonna join a water polo team...
ca va, it's true ;)
Broke your leg?! Ouch, quavadis!
Hated PE in school too but I actually didn't mind hockey that much, asmadi. Just liked batting that ball with my stick.
Hit on the face with a ball! Ouch, you! Or squido :)
Winded from running for a train? I think that should count as a sport, jay!
If powerwalking during shopping is a sport, G_C, I'd be the world champion :P
Trying to imagine ru and gymnastics.
Wish was had home and garden tv, ricK!
