[kj] Sports

[Alexander Smith]

To further expound on this ridiculous argument:

"those people who hate sports were........
1. crap at sports."

I'm crap at knitting as well. Do I hate it as a result? No, I just  
find it rather fucking dull, in much the same way I find American  
football. Dull, dull dull. My disinterest in sports pre-figured by  
arguable "inability" to play them. I have no interest in chasing a  
ball down a field -- I think it's a rather pointless thing to do,  
thus, why should I bother?

It's the age-old "you're just jealous" argument and it has no merit.
