I used to box and play baseball. Now I just keep in shape by going to the gym every day. I still like watching baseball and American football. But I'm not what you'd call a "real sports fan."

woot another water polo player. I played polo in highschool for 3 years, now am in my first year at Bloomsburg University, and play for the team there. I used to do some soccer when I was a little kid during the summer. Also play table tennis and used to play on my church's volleyball team. I don't really follow any sport on tv. I will follow the Eagles Football(American) team for a while, though mostly just watch them in the play offs. Also I try to watch the USA Olympic Water Polo team during the Olympics, though I have so far always missed them.

I player soccer, volleyball and tennis in high school.
At uni I started playing snooker.
At the moment I'm most active as an equestrian and I hope to get my own horse soon.
My favorit sport to watch is probably cycling (but only the classics and tour) and cricket (and even more so follow on the internet).

Once you are into cricket, a lot of other sports just become plain boring.
Listening to test match special on the radio when the ashes are being contested down under is almost sacred.

When you have a real good radio reporter, it's just a superb medium to follow sports, much better then televison.

I play soccer, and I love to watch soccer. I'm really looking forward to the world championship of soccer in South-Africa. I also like to watch cycling.
Myself I bike an hour to school and back to home, so that is also a kind of sport :P

If its got wheels and an engine, preferably large and noisy then that is where ull find me....ie motor sports; bcos making my own body move by itself will consume hard earned calories! I also excell at lifting 500ml weights and could consider myself at olympic levels if allowed by my patients and wife.

Name says it all - I follow soccer. Played in HS, a little in college and ran cross-country.

At the current time I run and am studying Tae Kwon Do (green belt currently). I follow Soccer (religiously), the NFL, College Football, and College Basketball. Baseball is good background noise.

Played 13 seasons of soccer (preschool-senior year in high school) 2 of tennis. Once I get in college I intend to continue playing both. Also I am a paintball addict, I have been playing for about 3 years and it has taken over soccer for my favorite sport. I love to watch paintball and soccer, newly acquired taste for watching hockey (damn u Crosby) and any event in the Olympics.

PLayed soccer for like 10 years, but stopped and started to take up tennis, which I still play today. But I like watching most sports, just not that religiously.

In high school & college I played Football (American) and baseball. Go Packers & Red Sox!

I casually follow both on TV/online (nothing serious though).

Currently: I'm a Disc (Frisbee) Golf and Fly-Fishing addict, I guess I've officially turned into a hippy. lol
