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.

True, but we were also pissed off as children when sports would pre-empt all the good shows on TV. 
 
 
And we're also not a bunch of repressed homos.
