hey sports fans.

i do not really like sports. but i kinda like sports fans. i am the most nonathletic person alive so in my youth i did everything possible to avoid organized sports. more a solo mover...hiking, compulsive exercising at the y, etc. i do not like to watch most sports...i do enjoy a nice golf tourney, mainly because most golfers are babes, but they are usually in the summer and i would rather be outside. and i'll definitely go to a hockey game because i secretly want to beat the crap out of someone on ice, too. and i love ice skating rinks. i learned to ice skate in my backyard!
i digress...so overall, i like sports fans. i'm a bills fan cause my whole family is from there, it is the town i was raised in and fortunately i moved to the south before adulthood and was spared a terrible whiny accent and a fate of wearing entirely too much make-up... i am fully aware that the bills suck but it is in my blood to love them. i used to trick or treat at the players rental houses and remember getting autographs at lunchtime in elementary school. my dad's bff from high school was a defensive line coach and is a football hall of famer so they get to tour the stadium and locker rooms every few years. one time i got to say hi to boomer esiason when i was 9 cause of my dad's coach friend. we went to a bills vs. bengals game. he was the largest man i have, to this day, ever seen in real life.

so i like sports fans because they represent one of my topics of favor: ultimate loyalty. even when your team is down, you love them. you feel their pain and their joy. this is a good quality to have, which is why, despite not loving sports- i still love the bills. that and my dad still has zubas.
if i ever consider boyfriends again i am going to make sure they are into sports for two reasons: 1. it demonstrates a consistent interest in something and 2. it will assure time alone during specific seasons so they won't get on my nerves. this is something several of my boyfriends lack and i've decided i don't really trust boys that aren't into sports. unless they are gay men. that is the only exception.
