Sports Fan Discussion

sports fan
Baseball fan.

I don’t give a hoot for the lesser sports. Someday, and it probably won’t be soon but eventually a tiny light will shine, marketeers will learn that there is a difference.

    Sports fan, but baseball is my favorite.

  2. brettj666 Says:

    I’m a baseball fan…

    I used to follow hockey, it was a law for the longest time in Canada, but it’s such a drag now (maybe it’s just my impression because it’s the Leafs that are on TV)

    Basketball, blah.

    I’ve started going in football pools, so I’m watching the tiniest bit of football, just to support my fantasy and pick’em habit.

    Baseball is my favorite sport but I also like football(pro & college, NASCAR & college basketball

  4. jonds Says:

    I am a baseball fan. I don’t watch the Super Bowl or care about the NBA. Spring training games have started and I have my XM satellite radio ready. I get all the games for every team and can’t wait.

  7. Edik Says:

    Baseball and football fan (especially college football)

  8. Utter Chaos Says:

    Baseball fan but more for the history. I’m more into it when the Indians are playing well.

    Football fan due to fantasy football. Can’t remember the last time I didn’t watch the Super Bowl.

    Basketball fan not so much. Will watch highlights on ESPN and will fill out brackets for the NCAA tourney. Have been paying attention more than normal this year due to the success of the Cavs.

    Hockey, Auto Racing, Golf, etc. I’d rather watch iCarley.

  9. Jeffrey S Says:

    I am a baseball fan and football fan, though baseball rates slightly ahead. I haven’t watched basketball seriously for 10 years, and hockey, what’s that?

    This is the worst time of the year for me. Winter is dragging on, and the only sport that I seem to hear about is basketball. It is basically rammed down our throats by ESPN. I love baseball, it is like a new beginning for those of us who live in cold weather areas. I look for any news of baseball I can find. I like to follow all the teams, all the hot prospects who will soon be making an impact, old faces in new places, and how the divisions stack up.

    Because of NCAA basketball, we will be totally immersed in “March Madness”. For those of us who don’t care at all for college basketball,it is annoying because it takes attention away from baseball, which used to be the dominant sport here. To me, it is just part of the “filler” between baseball seasons”, and when “March Madness” is finally over, baseball can finally get some attention. I think that sports are cyclical. Eventually, baseball will rise again. The powers that be will come to their senses and stop postseason games from starting at 8:45, and that more people will get to see the excitement of playoff and World Series games.

  10. Red Sox lover Says:

    Baseball fan for sure! I used to watch football with my Dad but, he passed away last week so, no more football for me. I do not like any other sports at all.

  11. reny d Says:

    baseball, football,basketball. depends on what season it is.

  12. sarrafzedehkhoee Says:

    Baseball. Only baseball. Oh, I like sumo, too, but you have to live in Japan to appreciate it.

  13. NY33 Says:

    I’m a baseball fan first. It’s my favorite sport to follow and keep up with.

    The best for watching on TV is football, with the exception of March college basketball (not just the NCAA tourney, the conference tournaments are good too).

    Best live is college basketball, except for really good college hockey games.

    However, baseball’s the only sport that I really keep track of, as opposed to watching for entertainment value. So I’d say baseball fan, sports… watcher?

  14. minor league fan Says:

    Baseball is my favorite. I follow the NFL (St. Louis Rams) a little not as much as baseball. I don’t care for basketball at all except for the local high school team and Missouri and St. Louis University but don’t follow them real close. I couldn’t tell you who the star players are. I haven’t followed hocked for a long time however recently I have been half listening to the Blues games while I am working and have started to get a little interest since they are playing better the past two months than they have in the past few years. Football, basketball and hockey are nice but their only purpose is to give us something to do between the end of the World Series and Start of Spring Training.

  15. White Sox Says:

    I can try to be a baseball fan, but then look at the long off-season………I couldn’t handle it with all of these other sports going on. Baseball would be considered my favorite sport, no doubt about it, but I like NASCAR, Illini college basketball and football, Atlanta Falcons football, and Chicago Wolves hockey.

    But Chicago White Sox baseball comes first.

  16. *Elizabeth* Says:

    Sports fan. Baseball is my favorite sport but it is not the only sport I like. I am a HUGE football fan. I also love college basketball. And I follow hockey a little bit.

  17. MrDurden20 Says:

    Baseball is definitely my favorite sports, but I watch sports all year round. My favorite NBA team is the Knicks, but I still watched the Cavs vs Rockets last night. So, I guess this makes me a sports fan…

  18. 3 of diamonds Says:

    Baseball fan. I will watch other sports, but really, what can compete with baseball?

  19. Prof Anger (resident curmudgeon) Says:

    Baseball enthusiast. Sports… hmm… appreciator.

  20. The Mick "7" Says:

    Sports fan:

    My first love has always been baseball. It’s the first sport I can remember as a child, the first sport in which I participated. I was hooked at a very early age.

    I love most sports really. I, like most, have priorities. Football would be next following by track & field, then it’s whatever is available. The one segment of basketball I detest is the NBA. I enjoy college ball and March Madness but the NBA does absolutely nothing for me.

    As far as marketing, in the short term, anyone will buy anything as long as it is within the moment!

  21. Don Lackey Says:

    I saw my first Sox game in 1946 as the men came back from WWII. I was a 14 year old kid and an ex-sailor took his girlfriend to the double-header and invited me to tag along. Hank Greenberg was playing for Detroit. Ted Lyons was on the mound for the first game and Luke Appling was at short. My Sox love affair began. I like the other sports of NFL and NCAAM, but the Sox are my true addiction.

  22. Don Lackey Says:

    Baseball is my favorite sport. I became addicted in 1946 when I tagged along with an ex-sailor to a Sox/Detroit double header. Luke Appling, Ted Lyons, Hank Greenberg. Not a bad trifecta. Like NFL and NCAAM too, but addicted to Sox.

  23. Hendrix 360 Says:

    I am both….

    But baseball is my favourite sport…

  24. Montana 16 Says:

    Sports. I love baseball but I couldn’t live without college football. I also like the NFL, college BBall, the PGA tour, and I am a very casual hockey fan.

  25. Danielle Marie Says:

    baseball fan. theres nothing like the march breeze birds chirping and the CRACK of baseballs.

    once baseball season starts, i literally have no life.

  26. jerry z Says:

    For sure BASEBALL, than nascar football, golf, billiards.

  27. Jenn Brewers Girl Says:

    Baseball fan first (Brewers)
    Football second (Green Bay native, Packers)

    But baseball is the best! I suffer all offseason without it, even though there’s football it just isn’t even come close to the rush of baseball.
    Small example: 162 games vs 16, you know every player in baseball and pretty much on every team, football-lucky if you can name 50% of your own team’s team roster.

  28. chitown sox Says:

    No contest, baseballs the game I was first exposed to as a kid by my dad, and him by his dad. its a generational game handed down from father to son. Its not like that with basketball and football.

    I think thats why most black Americans no longer like it because so many of then today grow up without fathers in the home.

  29. ryan @ pro batting gloves Says:

    Baseball is the best game played in the country. I love going to games with my son and being in the baseball atmosphere. Baseball is growing more and more popular every year. I can’t wait for the playoffs to start getting intense.
