I haven't had much interest in "sports" in spite of my bro once being a perennial Olympic hopeful (cross-country/track), tho' a long-term friend is passionate about American football and at one time baseball as well. He invites me over to see significant football events (Super Bowl, Iron Bowl, ect) to share the experience and mentors me by explaining the plays and significance of them and strategies as well as how the player's skills are utilized and this gives me some appreciation and enjoyment. If someone did this with baseball, ice hockey, soccer, and other such games then I expect my horizons would be expanded, but on my own there isn't much incentive or interest, and some of the points I've previously mentioned concerning the game-stopping distractions spoil the experience for me.
