    What kind of sports do/did you play?
    I was a runner in high school, both track and xc.  Triple jump was my best event and I was the jumps coach when I worked at a high school for two years.  I don't run now because I'm so slow it makes me sad.   

    What sports do you like to watch?
    I don't like watching sports. I have watched about five minutes of World Cup and that is enough for me. 

    Any favorite teams/players?
    No.

    @Jens_Hoes Based on the clues above, some moderate internet sleuthing could probably figure it out haha.  I won't say it outright but if someone guesses correctly I won't deny it!

    Also, one of my best friends played for UConn's volleyball team!

    Grew up playing basketball and softball, stopped in hs to do theater and bluegrass band. Played some rec volleyball after college, but was mostly just drinking and playing in the sand. 

    What sports do you like to watch?
    Olympics, for sure. I will watch pretty much anything in person, but not a huge fan of watching sports on t.v.

    Any favorite teams/players?
    Nah. If pressed, I would say WVU football/basketball or the Steelers, but really idgaf

    I did dance for a little, soccer in middle school, in hs marching band overtook pretty much everything (and got the best field trips, Philly, DC, Disney, NYC)
    What sports do you like to watch?
    I like to go to baseball games in summer, but the only sport I will watch on TV is hockey
    Any favorite teams/players?
    my brother is a die hard flyers fan (he has a flyers tatoo and bought an orange car because flyers) so I root for them if they're on.  I was raised cheering for all the Philly teams so that's still my default setting, lol

    What kind of sports do/did you play?
    I played soccer, softball, and basketball as a kid. In high school I picked up tennis and played that all four years. Now, I run and play tennis when I can, and I might tag along on a golf outing once a summer. 

    What sports do you like to watch?
    Golf, I guess. I don't really watch a whole lot else. I used to be big into football, but I just can't do it knowing what they're doing to their brains :( 

    Any favorite teams/players?
    I love Rodger Federer and Rafa Nadal (both tennis players). I know they're not dominating like they did 10-15 years ago, but when they were, it was AMAZING.
    Pass the sheet cake.

    What kind of sports do/did you play? In HS I ran cross country and played basketball and baseball.  Was recruited by a few schools to run CC, but somehow ended up playing soccer all four years instead.  I played rugby after my eligibility was up, and now I play golf and racquetball.

    What sports do you like to watch?  Soccer first and foremost.  I will watch most other sports, I'm not too picky.  NBA is probably my least favorite nowadays.

    Any favorite teams/players?  Celtic and Manchester United (fun fact, I'm an "owner" as I own stock) for soccer, Penn State for college sports, and Penske Racing teams for Indy Car and NASCAR.



    there are two motivations in sports, which is yours?

    Play: Hahahahahahahaha nope. I got kicked off the swim team when in grade school, and my mom let me mercy quit kiddie baseball. I'm really quite content if I can make it through the day without falling down or bumping into anything.

    Watch: Hockey, mostly. My husband is in a few different leagues locally, and I got used to being the hockey girlfriend (i.e. sitting in the stands drinking wine with the girls) when we were still dating. Old man league doesn't get good ice times (it's not unusaul for games to start at 10:30 or 11:15 pm), so I haven't been able to go much since Nugget came around, but we do attend his afternoon and early evening games pretty religiously when we have the opportunity (she loooooooves it).

    Favorites: I got on board with the Blackhawks when I started dating my husband; we were season ticket holders through last season, so got to attend a lot (though again, having a kid kind of drove our attendance numbers down). Alas, they keep trading away my favorite players  :'( Niklas Hjalmarsson was very pretty, though. Also talented, mostly pretty. Other than that, I generally root for Chicago teams when they make the playoffs (I try to stay abreast just enough to keep up water cooler conversations). It was pretty awesome living in the city when the Cubs finally won a World Series!

    What kind of sports do/did you play?
    I played soccer from the time I could walk through my junior year of high school, many of those years I played all year round. My plan was to play in college but a hand injury (I was a goalie) cost me an entire season and I moved on to theater which I had always loved but never had time for. Some days I regret not going back to soccer and some days when I think about the women's soccer team at my college not having the ability to really do anything else, I don't regret it. I was a cheerleader for a couple football seasons in HS too and I played basketball in middle school because I had a huge crush on Geno Auriemma and wanted to go to UConn. 

    What sports do you like to watch?
    I've always been a huge baseball fan. Love going to games and I watch the Reds on TV pretty much whenever they are on. I'd be up to going to see any sport in person.

    Any favorite teams/players?
    @hkom my cousin plays for the Cincinnati Reds so I've changed my loyalty to them from the Phillies. They are a hard team to love sometimes!! I'm actually watching them on my work computer as I type this. 
    @Jens_Hoes I'm a UConn fan too. My H managed to get a video message of Geno wishing me a happy birthday last week because he golfed in his charity tournament on my birthday instead of hanging out with me (I was at work so I think it was a fair trade). I try to refrain from watching it over and over and over haha

    @Jens_Hoes definitely! I had met him briefly once before and he was very polite but he also always seemed so intimidating to me! He might’ve had a few
    cocktails before my birthday video haha and it made me love him even more!

    @rosebud332 and @Boobopgirl go philly teams!  I am forced to cheer for them now lol.  Been to a quite few Phillies games the last few years.  

    What kind of sports do/did you play?
    I played basketball from 3rd grade to 11th grade.  I am 5'2".  I was terrible. But I had so much fun.  I did swim team through part of middle and high school.  I came in last place literally every meet.  But it was good exercise.  I also attempted soccer and softball and was terrible so I quit.  I did dance and gymnastics in elementary.  I much preferred gymnastics.  I have been kickboxing for a year and a half and I LOVE it.  I am not graceful or coordinated, but I try my best!

    What sports do you like to watch?
    I don't love to watch any sport, but I will go to baseball games. I can tolerate baseball in real life. On TV, not a chance. It is probably the most boring sport ever televised.  I can get into football on TV when it's on, but don't seek it out. Same with hockey. 
    Any favorite teams/players?
    I currently cheer for philly teams because of where I live, except the Eagles. My heart belongs to the NJ devils, the Giants, and the Yankees though, if I'm being honest.

    Love! I was feeling a bit grumpy this morning and this made me smile. :) 

    What kind of sports do/did you play? Well, when I’m not pregnant, I play soccer & futsal. Before DD (2016), I played pickup about 1-2 times a week, and was usually in one league at any time. I help run a coed, adult league now and have done that since...2016, maybe? When I couldn’t play? Now don’t make any assumptions - I don’t claim to be great, haha. I’ll say I’m okay. I played as a kid and then started back up recreationally in college. I was a cheerleader grades 6-12; varsity in high school. 
    Workouts, I love body pump and spinning. 

    What sports do you like to watch? Football fanatic here, though definitely not as in-depth knowledgeable since DD. A perfect in-season Sunday for me is on the couch, RedZone on, and not moving except for potty breaks and snacks.
    We watch about half of all aired Cubs games, all Indiana University basketball games, all aired Univeristy of Soutern Cal football games. I used to follow NBA and EPL closely. Having a child has 10000% changed our sports habits. :tired_face:

    Any favorite teams/players?
    *Takes deep breath* NFL - Colts; NBA - Pacers; MLB - Cubbies; NCAA - IU (DH) & USC (me);
    EPL - Man Utd; La Liga - Real Madrid; International - USA & MEX

    @hoosiermama-2 I think me starting in 3rd grade made it easier to keep playing. When I realized I couldn't keep up,  I waved the white flag lol

    @katy0990 everyone around here was excited last year, except me!  I tried to avoid superbowl altogether, but that didn't work :(

    Thanks for sharing, everyone! Just realized I never actually responded myself - oops!

    What kind of sports do/did you play?
    I played little league football for 4 years then helped coach for another 4 years after that. There were about 5 girls throughout the league, so not many of us, but I just loved it! I was on swim team in middle/high school. I wasn't very good at sprints and such, but could hold my own in the distance races.

    What sports do you like to watch?
    Football is my favorite to watch - whether it's local high school games, college games, or NFL games. I also love the Olympics when they're on. For summer, swimming and gymnastics events are my favorite - I've loved watching gymnastics ever since watching women's Team USA take gold in 1996 with Kerri Strug! One of my favorite sports moments! 
    We also watch the NCAA basketball tournament. It's about the only basketball I can stand to watch. DH is a big Tarheels fan and I've been more into it the last few years b/c the university I work at/attend has made the tournament 3 of the last 4 years! It's exciting b/c I see some of my own students playing on a national stage (and school spirit and all that)!

    Any favorite teams/players?
    The Buffalo Bills are my favorite team! I'm from Western New York and was about 5 when the Bills started their impressive 4-year Super Bowl run in the early 90's. Even though they never won, I was hooked! That being said, Peyton Manning is one of my favorite players - I got to see him in person in Indy last year when his statue was unveiled in front of Lucas Oil stadium! Another one of my favorite sports moments!

    @temmetime You're my kind of people!  It's not too bad out here in Denver being a KU fan, but the CU fans can be total dicks if you attend their games.  It sucked when I lived in KC as a Broncos fan though...I'm much more at home in Denver. Most of my friends and some of my family are Chiefs fans, so I'm used to the harassment.  And my DH is a HUGE Husker fan (GBR)!  Our dogs names are Herbie and Husker.  <3 I think they will do great things with Scott Frost.

    @clbness hell yes! I can see where it's easier to live in Denver being a KU fan rather than in KC being a Broncos fan. Some people take it to the next level of crazy if you don't cheer for their team.
    I'm so glad to see other Husker fans!! I also believe great things with happen with Frost & OMG your puppies! That's perfect <3
