Yeah for the life of me I cant understand football haha
Some people are just really into it. It’s a good small talk topic at work because most people have a sport they are into. I’m really into baseball, but I try my best to not rant about it to coworkers because not everyone likes baseball >

I have several friends that like baseball. I can totally understand why people to do talk about sports since uts so common, I just don't see the appeal personally lol. >

I think most of the appeal comes from the fact that most people are fans of sports they have played before because they appreciate seeing the sport being played at its highest level of competition. Everyone has some sort of hobby or activity where they would be thoroughly entertained watch someone else do it at a much higher skill level than they can do it themselves. 
As for people who are fans of sports they have little experience with (i.e. me with football), there’s usually a little thing they like about a sport that gets them into it, like a certain player or playstyle of a team, and then once they get more context of why they like a certain player or playstyle through some research, they’re swept up with the sport.
Sorry for the rambling lol >

That makes sense, I'm no great artist but j enjoy seeing artwork greater than I could ever create. >

Appreciation for sports goes up when you've participated in them and learn more about the sport. I used to find baseball boring until I learned more about how situationally cerebral it is. I used to find Nascar boring until I learned more about cars. I used to find figure skating boring until I started skating. >

I do believe that playing sports is good for people physically and mentally (besides the injuries), I'm sure it's interesting for people invested in it. There's a small amount of people who are not interested in it and we are usually bombarded with it constantly >

You're not alone. Different strokes for different folks.
I feel the same way about shows like Big Brother, The Bachelor, Survivor, and the likes. They're not for me but some people can't get enough. >

YES! Luckily I don't hear about reality or game showsately but when I worked with more women I did hear about it >

I'm jealous of people who enjoy sports. A big game comes up and they basically have a big party with food and drinks and everyone is so excited! It seems like they are having so much fun.   
Then I look at the screen they are cheering at and feel nothing. I seem to be immune to whatever it is that makes them derive so much joy from sports. I sit there like, boy I wish we were playing video games or watching a movie or something. >

100% yesss
And like even the day after the party that's all anyone talks about 😩 >

Thats fair, i don't like sports either, except for the occasional World Cup or Euros every few years. But people love it, a lot. Its comparable to interests like anime or kpop that are very popularly spoken about. It may seem annoying but i wonder how many people would view your interests in a similar light. Its each to their own rly. :) >

You should watch chess tournaments 🤣🤣🤣
You will see a different dimension of life there >

I would probably enjoy that more 😂 >

Sports in general? I would've thought that high-octane sports like MMA, boxing, NASCAR, etc. would at some level entertain even the biggest sport Scrooge.
I barely have any knowledge of the technicalities and rules of those sports but you would have to agree that a brutal knockout is peak entertainment, right? >

I've been to a party where we watched MMA, it was better than football for sure but it still was boring to watch more than one round. I don't even like action movies, I just don't find that kind of thing to be enthralling >

My only opinion on this is try watching hockey haha.  Literally every other sport is mind numbingly boring to me, but if you have a team to root for hockey is so fucking entertaining.  Everyones different though >

I would probably enjoy hockey! Definitely more than football
