I like to get a feel for a forum by asking this question. Many people arn't very active physically and they seem to get very very angry when I post this. I play soccer (futbol) and wrestle ("Geah!") I know. You don't even have to be competitive or even good. I'm just asking about weather or not you participate.

Oh jeez, did the prom thread not illustrate the sheer dorkiness of this community enough?

I don't think anyone will get angry. Just apathetic.

I bet you didn't even have the energy to run to Canada. Bet you wussed out and took a plane like all the other lazy people :P

Used to play badminton twice weekly, faded out during college and university since the sports facilities here are 3 miles away on another campus. Play football (soccer for those who say soccer) weekly when I'm back home with friends. Aspire to do 10K steps a day, and went for regular runs in the Arboretum when I lived close to it last year. Push ups before dying: 20.

I wouldn't call myself athletic, but that doesn't ring true for the other end of the scale either. I just have average physical ability.

Man, I miss the days when I used to do Kung Fu regularly. And have places to walk on a regular basis. I've gone a bit rusty from lack of practice, to be honest.

Been trying to keep myself from completely falling into disuse, but I'm nowhere near as active (or fit) as I was a couple years back. Kinda sucks, really.

I've never been much interested in sports themselves though, if only because I prefer my physical activity to have somewhat more (potential) practical use.

No. No it doesn't. That's what competing is.

I used to play football up until high school, when I aged out of the group. At that point, everything got stupidly competitive, and being obsessed over a sport was never really my thing, so I didn't continue.
Not that I would have made the cut, though. I was then, as I am now, horridly out of shape. I guess I just enjoy the taste of food too much to starve myself thin.

I ride a bicycle -- in the same way people who practice parkour "run".

Granted, it's not near as much fun now, between Helmet Laws, pro-Pedestrian traffic laws, and being past the age where if something breaks it might eventually heal. :P

All those videos you see of people riding bikes on top of walls, rubbish tips, railings, staircases, etc.? Back in the '70s and '80s, we called it "trying to avoid getting run over by the 16-year-old with a brand-new BMW and a driver's license so fresh the lamination hasn't finished drying". It wasn't a sport, so much as a Survival Tool.... :)

Have considered the SCA, but since my first instinct in a fight is to either kneecap someone, or groin-shot him, the Marshals would not be pleased. :)

*Really* wish I could go auto racing.... :P

Ngggh.

As for sports, hah, no. I would sooner engage in a sport than watch it, though.

Nope, don't play any actual sports. The only real competitive sport I've ever had any real interest in playing is hockey, but I haven't played it since high school. There aren't even any amateur leagues where I live, so I'm SOTL there.

Also, three miles is enough to deter you Pix? That's only a 45 minute walk. Does Nottingham not have any buses or something? Or did the sheriff outlaw them as witchcraft?

No, he'd probably get shot. That city is the nation's gun crime capital.

Surely these criminals are nothing more than light hearted outlaws that only wish to sing, steal from the rich to give to the poor and sell textiles?
