I watch sports, I play sports, I love sports. I live within 20 minutes of 3 universities that are major sports schools; if you were born here you are a fan of one of those schools. Basically all over America, are a must if you want to be called a man. If you don't like sports, some people look down upon you. I know nerds/geeks who barely see the light of day because they are up all night online and sleep all day and they can tell you some sports stats. I find your story quite ironic, because a girl took you to a hockey game. Usually its the other way around.
