I’m not a sports guy. I’ve done sports. I’ve done a lot of sports… soccer and hockey when I was young, a smattering of several martial arts, and Japanese fencing up until I damaged my Achilles pretty severely. Plus running, biking, swimming… like I said, a lot of sports.
But I don’t really care about other people doing sports. Sure, fine, some people care a lot… the existence of “professional” sports is definitely proof of that. But I don’t really care for any team, nor do I find attachment to how my nation’s athletes perform against other athletes. I don’t have a personal interest other than to acknowledge that it’s something that a lot of people care very deeply about.
And hey, if it makes you happy, more power to ya. But I just don’t get it. Not my jam.
That stated, I hope everyone who does enjoy such events is enjoying this Olympic thingy. May your team do better than the other teams.
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
