I just generally sucked at gym class entirely. Everything.


I never liked playing sports, either, like field hockey or basketball, because it hurt being one of the last ones to be chosen for a team.


Actually, with basketball and field hockey, there were issues involved. I was always taught that taking shit away from other people was rude, and we were also accidentally taught not to touch others.

so contact sports were sort of....trying.

It was real hard to let go of that old "don't make contact with people and NEVER take stuff away from them" mindset instilled when I was a small child.

And that sort of thing just doesn't make one a good basketball or field hockey player...

I guess it's sort of sad and funny at the same time....


Anyway, I love football. One of my favorite things is seeing a QB fire a rocket down the field that gets caught by what looks like an act of magic. :)
