Do you watch sports? In person or on TV?
What sports do you like to follow?
Any fun experiences from following your favorite teams or players?
 
Do you watch sports? In person or on TV?
Yes I do. Mostly on TV but try to attend at least one or two games a year live.

What sports do you like to follow?
Basketball - the local team in the Australian National Basketball League (it's the only team based outside of Australia), the local team of the New Zealand Basketball League though this year I wasn't a total diehard fan as they were mediocre at best but still followed the league in general and watched a few games on TV & then the National team. I also support the local provincial rugby team & the national team but not quite to the same level as basketball. This weekend I'll be watching both rugby & basketball - rugby is Saturday night & Sunday afternoon is basketball

Any fun experiences from following your favorite teams or players?
Umm, does accidently choosing what we thought were great seats right behind the provincial rugby teams bench and ending up being televised multiple times across the broadcast for all to see. When the game finished I got so many messages from friends saying we saw you on TV. We did admit that while they were great seats, we were actually a bit too close to the action!
 
Do you watch sports? In person or on TV?
Both in person and on TV.

What sports do you like to follow?
We watch my youngest son play football (he is the kicker for a Canadian junior football league team), and I watch on TV the hockey playoffs (NHL) and NFL/CFL football with my husband.

My oldest son got to sing with his barbershop chorus at the local Oil Kings hockey game which is played in the same place as the Oiler's play. Also when the kids were younger, our scout troup got to sing the national anthem at another Oil King's game. It was cold standing out on the ice but at least they had a carpet for us to stand on so that we wouldn't disturb the ice.
 
Do you watch sports? In person or on TV?
Yes, I watch sports sometimes on TV mostly during big events like Olympic Games. Last year, it was amazing because it was my time zone.
I watch sports in person too when I watch my son. He practices taekwondo.

What sports do you like to follow?
I like to follow taekwondo and gymnastics. But I can't remember the names of the athletes.

No fun experiences.
 
Do you watch sports? In person or on TV? I watch the University of Oregon Ducks football team on TV and am always happy to go to a game, but don't buy tickets (crowds bug me these days). I have been to our local minor league baseball team's games a few times. I watch the National Football League on TV, with a special focus on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Chargers, and the Denver Broncos. The Steelers are my family's fave team, and the Chargers and Broncos have two former Duck quarterbacks playing for them. If the Olympics are on, I might watch gymnastics, ice skating or diving.

What sports do you like to follow? Mostly American football.

Any fun experiences from following your favorite teams or players? On my 40th birthday my husband had a greeting for me on the jumbotron at a Ducks game. That was memorable.
 
No . . . I have no interest in sports, nor does anyone else in my family. I've watched so few games I could count them on my fingers. Last one was when I watched a baseball game in 2016 after my oldest kid sang the national anthem for them, and then I think the time before that would be a baseball game in San Diego with a friend in junior high circa 1984. Around then, or a bit earlier, I also went to my younger brother's Little League baseball games. I actually got interested in the game then, when the scorekeeper showed me the huge paper they used and gave me one of the sheets to take home. My brother and I invented our own version of baseball in our backyard around that time.
For a brief moment I thought I might become a soccer mom. When my youngest kid was 3 he enjoyed this preschool soccer class at a local field house. He was great at the practice activities the coach set up. But at the end of the 6 week session, when they started playing with only one ball for the whole group, he didn't like it anymore.

My two oldest kids ran cross country and played softball/baseball, so I watched those when they were in season. My youngest is still playing high school baseball, and my daughter runs cross country, winter track, and track & field in college in Rhode Island. I haven't been able to see any of those yet, but luckily she is running in our state in October! I also love professional ice hockey. My favorite team is the Pittsburgh Penguins. I try to watch as many of their games as I can on t.v., but now with all of these stupid streaming stations, there are so many that most hockey games I can't even watch without subscribing to everything. It's gotten ridiculous. Anyway, I've been to two professional games, but would love to see more!

What sports do you like to follow?

same as above, ice hockey and my kids' sports

I've seen my kids win lots of meets and games, so that's always amazing!
I've seen my pens win two Stanley Cups!

We watch my daughters play a bunch of sports in person. We also watched the NBA Finals on TV this year.

What sports do you like to follow?
I don’t really follow any. When I was little I followed basketball, baseball and football.

We rode in an elevator with one of my favorite basketball players (Bryon Russell) once. He was so tall!
 
I do watch sports, but not a ton. I watched a LOT of soccer, basketball and swimming when my boys were on teams throughout the year. They've both graduated high school now, so now more team sports for us. Lol.

Now mostly I watch baseball or football if my hubby is watching on TV, but we also do like to go to an occasional MLB baseball game to see the Cubs play.
 
Do you watch sports? In person or on TV? In person ... my kids and grandkids played a lot of sports, so I spent a lot of time on the sidelines watching them. They are all grown, so no more league games.

What sports do you like to follow? I've never followed professional sports, my xDH loved the NASCAR races and football so I watched those with him.

Any fun experiences from following your favorite teams or players? Not that I can recall ...
 
Do you watch sports? In person or on TV? Yes, these days on TV. In the past when cousins were playing, in person.

What sports do you like to follow? College football.

Any fun experiences from following your favorite teams or players? Every game in person was fun when my cousins played. Family all together cheering on our favorite player.

One cousin played for U of Toledo from 1969 to 1973. At one of his games, I told my parents that I would be going to college at this school. My dad replied "over my dead body". I did attend there, graduating in 1978. Dad died in 2016.

The little brother of that cousin played for Miami of Ohio from 1983 to 1987. We attended a lot of games at Miami and a few away games. A couple away games were at the school close to his sister's house and we would make a weekend of it. We did stay in a nearby motel since she had 2 small boys at the time. My parents also went to one of his games when they played LSU... and Miami won. The Miami fans at the motel had a fantastic time after the game!

A few... Chance and I went to see the LA Dodgers and Pittsburg Pirates when things were just opening back up after Covid. We scored great seats super cheap and there wasn't much of a crowd. Most recently we went to see the Savannah Bananas entertainment baseball game and it was soooo fun! I started watching some rugby during the olympics because my first cousin's daughter was on the US Women's team. That was so great to watch!
