Being a good sport , liking or playing sport -- how do you match up?
The idiom 'being a good sport' could mean that you are cheerful, generous, pleasant -- especially in a difficult situation. You are someone who can take a joke or teasing.
Are you one of those persons?
Now for the physical sport, what kind of sports interest you? Were you or are you good at any sports?
I was never the athletic type, but l am a big fan of cricket and track and field..
Which sport or sports do you enjoy playing or watching?

I'm not sure if I am the generous or pleasant type in my friends' eyes, but I am an optimistic person and I can certainly take a joke or teasing.
As for the physical sport, I'm also not the athletic type. I enjoyed walking and swimming. With Covid, I hesitate to go to beaches or public swimming pools. So I mainly walk these days.

I Always wanted to be a swimmer. But played volleyball, if not only my eyesight, I should be a track and field athlete because I like running.
Being a good sport , is yes, someone who is pleasant. Someone who can accept defeat and still he's glad and willing to go to the other camp to congratulate them

As an 86-year-old man I am telling you that exercising and/or playing sports is not good for you! I never did either and here I am. On the other hand being a good sport has helped me a lot!

I consider myself optimistic even in difficult situations. As far as taking a joke or treating if I know that's what's happening then sometimes but often I'm clueless on certain jokes.
When I was in high school I played a bit of volleyball but never against other schools. When I was even younger I learned to play softball with my cousins and got fairly good with it but eventually we stopped playing together on a regular basis, so as I for older I was no longer good when playing either.
I did bowl for many years and even though I've not bowled since I was in my thirties or before I could probably do okay even now.
I don't watch sports on TV or in person.
