Sports are just entertainment, I liken them to other TV shows or movies I watch.
Huzzah indeed!

I think Nix and stegspam are talking about two different shades of sports fan, namely those that count themselves as a member of a fantasy "family" that includes the team and its players and those that watch sports as one would watch movies or plays. I've never been able to understand the former, especially people (mostly in the US, I think) that loyally support the teams of a college they never attended.

Tread lightly spamsteg.
I don't see myself as a part of the teams, unless you count the team I was a part of. In which case I have every right to see myself as part of it because I was, again, part of it. If I were, say, a fan of Duke basketball, and adorned my apartment with Duke memorabilia and wore Duke clothing and named my firstborn Duke but I never attended Duke? That would be different.
EDIT: That came off a bit stern, but I am joking, of course.

I cannot remember the last time "days of our lives" hooligans rampaged through the streets.
I can. It was horrible, broken snailshells and flattened hedgehogs everywhere.
But I'm with you on the more violent sports. I don't find sports very entertaining anways, but there was this time a friend of mine wanted to watch some fighting sport. If it hadn't been so unpleasant looking it would have been hilarious.
Fortunately the cats didn't like it and we switched back to Antiques Road Show.

No, I know what you mean. I've tried to associate myself with a college team, but can't quite do it, much for the reasons you listed.
What Vivi said. Obviously
There was also that awkward period where kegs tried to support the local kindergarten dodgeball team. but that got real weird real fast.

Ha-ha, sports are awesome. Reality TV is the worst.

Maybe I like Duke's cheerleaders the best? Valid reason, yay, nay?
Yay, but only if you buy and wear duke's cheerleader outfits
I've been offered some maths/chemistry teaching next year, perhaps a couple of days a week for the first semester. The problem is instead of teaching chemistry to people who work in labs, I'm going to primarily be teaching it to auditors. I'm not sure how much to dumb it down!!!
If you thought that was awkward you should've seen the time where kegs joined the kindergarten team. He was like two or three times the size of those poor kids.
All the way down of course. If they're gonna be auditing they should be getting it so use the KISS principle.
And yet he still got beaten....
Agreed, I recommend using pipecleaners and ping pong balls to explain molecules...
The problem is that it is exactly the same subject I teach to laboratory technicians that I will be teaching to food safety auditors. It will require a completely different approach, is there any real point in teaching an auditor how to do a titration for instance?
