It seems men can't go one day without sports in a newspaper, sports on TV, talking about sports at work or with the guys. Even if they never meet any of the guys on a team, they babble about sports when they have much moe important things to worry about. Are men addicted to sports? or do they just use it as a nonstop escape valve to distance the other things in life at arm's length?

Not all men are addicted to sports. And men aren't really... Addicted to sports. Of course, almost every man wants to play soccer, or football, or basketball. It's a way of keeping fit, and it's good! But not that they are addicted. There are some excessive cases, in which men can't leave without sports: they talk about sports, dream about sports, wake up practicing sports. And some excessive cases in which men don't like sports.
Me? I practice it as a hobby, but am not addicted to it.

I think that there is a lot about sports that lend themselves to guys, but girls, too. I work a sa sports journalist for a website, so I guess my view might be a bit skewed. A lot of times, there is a competitive person in people hiding and rooting for sports and cheering for certain teams gets that competitive spirit out of them. I think it's no different that people getting interested in celebrities life (a la Paris Hilton) or a television show (i.e. Lost or Heroes) or anything like that. Many times, sports teams have brought people together and gotten us through hard times (Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, 9/11 in New York). It could be addiction, but I think it's something that appeals to the natural competitive nature in most and give people escapes as wlel.

It seems to me that men are playful and it's their nature to be that way. That's why they like sports. Sports is a type of game that has an element of fun and enjoy. That's why they seem like addicted to the sports section in the newspaper. They couldn't face the day without reading that section. However this is my opinion only, no hard feelings ok?

I would say then that the events of September were due to extreme playfulness and not aggressive fueled hubris and male domination belief patterns?

I feel love for sports has nothing to gender as such. As the fan following of most sports contain both men and women as everybody wants to enjoy good game of cricket, tennis match...I feel some men get too emotional with their reactions to results of matches taking it personally.
I too enjoy sports as playing sports is good for one's health.

Then why do men expect women to cheer on male sports but they don't come anywhere near favoring play in women's leagues as much?

I am not as bad as most men, I like to watch football and golf and play golf but I will not lie cheat and steal to be able to do it like most men, I can control my self.
