I'm not much of a sports fan. I don't follow sports at all and I generally don't know who's playing who and I don't much care. The sports I do follow from time to time are pretty esoteric: fencing, which I used to do (gets absolutely no coverage in this country, even when U. S. fencers pile up the medals), and figure skating, which both of my sisters were deeply involved in (both won National Championships, turned professional, and taught).

Re:   football. I don't watch it on TV because I'm just not interested. But should I find myself forced to watch, say during a Thanksgiving gathering and everybody else wants to watch the game, I join in, find that I actually get involved, and wind up enjoying it.
