To think it’s not weird that I like sport

My friend was saying at the weekend that she thinks I am really weird because I like sport!

I watch a lot of sport- Ryder cup at weekend, rugby, tennis, occasional cricket.
i love big sporting occasions like Rugby World Cup, Ryder cup, Wimbledon, Olympics etc.

I don’t play sport but I like watching it. DH & are a big rugby fans particularly being Welsh. My son plays footy. You get the idea! I even watch a bit of Snooker if Ronnie o Sullivan is playing!!

Is it weird? I felt like I was particularly unusual after comments but surely I am not? The implication is that it’s weird for a woman to like sport too!

Your friend is the weird one, thinking in daft stereotypes. I don't much like sport myself but am perfectly aware that others love it. Why not?
