Yes! Currently watching the Golden State/Houston game all by myself My husband watches just about every sport besides hockey and some college stuff. I love basketball (Lakers and Spurs) and Baseball (Giants) My husband's family has a tradition of betting on the college football bowl games. It's the only time I'm remotely interested in college sports.

If I'm watching sports, someone playing shares my last name and/ or DNA.

I am an avid MMA fan! I watch UFC Friday Night fights with or without my husband. Just had a PPV event this past weekend. The only time I'll watch any other sport is live in a stadium. Baseball, soccer, football, basketball, cricket, whatever. Live, in the stadium only. I can't even evoke a smidgen of interest when they're televising an event. The only player that ever held my interest was Michael Jordan...but not when he played baseball.

Definitely! Hockey (Rangers), baseball (Yankees), pro football (Giants) and college football (OU and Clemson).

No, I do not watch any sports at all. My husband and sons only watch motocross racing. The only time I ever watched a football or basketball game was when I was a cheerleader. I had an uncle who would watch golf and bowling all the time. I hated going over there and so did my dad, he never watched any sports either. At least I could go into the kitchen and sit with my mom and my aunt. My dad felt it would be too rude for him to sit in there too.
We went to stay with my husband's aunt and uncle in Georgia. They have a huge house in the mountains. They are also hard of hearing and love to watch tennis. Wish we knew that before we agreed to stay there, lol. It was so loud you could hear it on all 3 floors of the house. We would take the kids out hiking when they put a game on so they could enjoy it and we could avoid it.

YES!!
Hockey is #1.........mostly Dallas Stars (season ticket holder). I love the playoffs whether my guys are playing or not. There is nothing like NHL playoffs. I watch other games that might be on but I don't subscribe to Center Ice.
Football..........I especially enjoy college football. LSU is my #1 teaqm. My nephew goes to Texas A&M so I have to root for them too unless they are playing LSU or if their game will affect LSU in the standings. I also like UT. But, don't tell anyone is Texas that I am a fan of both Texas A&M and UT. LOL
Pro Football..........New Orleans Saints are my #1 team but I will watch most any game. I find football rather boring after watching hockey though. Not enough action. Too much standing around letting the clock run down.
I like a lot of other sports but not as much. I like to watch tennis from time to time but I don't follow it closely anymore. Basketball bores me to death but if the Mavericks are in the playoffs, I will flip on the the last 2 minutes or so of the game.........which take about an hour to play........to see the end. That is only if I happen to remember and am home. I don't really care if I miss it.
I will turn on a baseball game sometimes and will watch some of the playoffs or at least have the game on in some room of the house.
I will watch a little of many sports but I don't follow others too closely.

Nope. In fact I try to avoid any type of sports watching whenever possible. I'm just not interested and I find most of the televised sports programming very annoying (endless commentary, replays, etc).
My mom's new boyfriend is VERY into Nascar. So it seems like whenever I go over to visit there's now a car race on tv. Ugh. I will say though, the way he watches it isn't too bad. He DVRs the entire race (usually 3 hours or so) and just plays the whole thing on fast forward until something happens. Then he'll watch that one bit and go back to fast forwarding through the laps. We can get through a whole race in about 20-30 mins. Not so bad that way!

Baseball mostly, but some football. I just paid through the nose for a Sirius update so I can hear baseball games

Yes, I love my sport.
In winter I go to the football (AFL) with my dad every week to see my team, or watch them on TV if they are playing interstate. I also watch one or 2 other matches on TV each week. Everyone in my life knows not to make any plans with me on the weekends between the months of March and September without checking the football fixture first! It was my step mum's birthday on Saturday but dad and I went to the football. Luckily she's understanding!
In summer I watch a ton of cricket on TV but I don't go to too many live matches any more.
Every week I go to watch both kids play basketball, as well as DS's games of football (in winter) and cricket (in summer) every week. My brother is still playing football in a veteran's competition so sometimes I go to watch him play as well. It's actually quite a lot of fun to watch a bunch of over 40yo men smashing each other!
I also listen to several sports programs on the radio every day.
It's funny, I just said to DSO yesterday that I couldn't be in a relationship with someone who didn't like sport because it's such a huge part of my life. If you were friends with me on Facebook you would probably think that football is the only thing I ever talk about.
Did I mention that I love football?

I become a sports fanatic for World Cup and for the Olympics. In between I try to follow the USMNT (soccer), but I can't always keep up.

Green Bay Packers pretty faithfully. Bits and pieces of others. I somewhat follow the Olympics but not as much as I used to.

I now watch Nascar with hubby last Sunday racing in its various forms was on at our house from 430 in the morning until hubby went to bed.
I used to watch baseball but we moved and no longer get our team on tv so I don't watch. We have started to go to local games but it is minor league and lots of fun but obviously not on tv.
Years ago I would watch basketball but it has been more than 10 years and I would watch hockey or soccer if it is on but don't go out if my way. The only game I really hate is football.
I also like to watch the Olympics.

Our family loves sports.
We drive from Houston to Norman, OK for most OU football home games. On Saturdays when OU is not playing at home, we watch 5 or 6 college football games on tv. We also watch a lot of college basketball and also occasionally watch college baseball & softball on tv.
