It seems to me that we have more sports fans here on xanga than we care to admit. Alot of them are closet sports fans who only pretend that they don’t give two craps about what happens on a football field. Why are they closeted? Because alot of times, anyone who brings up sports around here is brutally discriminated against.
I can tell you from experience that it is not fun to be discriminated against because of my sportsual orientation (that is a term I just made up). I remember one or two times I was in the BFN chatroom with about 20 xangans. Everyone was laughing and having a good time. Then I make one sports related comment to maybe Jon or Matt. People disappear from the room faster than money from a 401K account. It makes me feel like some kind of freak!
Well I’ve got news for you xanga, I am not a freak (At least not because I love sports)! Neither are the rest of my fellow sports lovers. It’s time we banded together and said enough is enough. Amongst all the complaining, and bible thumping, and gay debating, and whining about sucking at relationships, there is a place for us here! There is no need for us to cower in fear at all the estrogen flying around. Stand with me and proudly say…
…I LOVE SPORTS, AND I AM NO LONGER GOING TO BE AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT IT ON XANGA!!!
There. Didn’t that feel good?
IF YOU ARE A SPORTS FAN LET ME KNOW WITH A COMMENT. I AM STARTING A SPORTS SITE HERE ON XANGA THAT (HOPEFULLY) WILL ACTUALLY LAST. I CAN’T DO THIS ALONE THOUGH, SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO HELP.
Please rec if it’s not too much trouble. Thanks.
Against the Grain 
sports fan.i play baseball 🙂kb.
This reminded me of youhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEVdca9U9LM
While I am currently unable to be one of the writers for said site, I would love to see something like this happen. Reason number 4637 why I read you with some regularity.
I’m not into sports but good luck with your new site!
I’m game.
I love basketball and football. It’s good fun!! I’m game!!
Athleticish? I’m down.But you don’t get a rec. :-p
I enjoy most sports, but hockey is my one true sport love.
@mrsprosa – those dudes are MAAAAAADDD white!
oh yeah!
@vanedave – LOL- I know. I love that video. “What what what what what what,,,”
@chaospet – maybe you can be our hockey guru?@raiderjester – damn. Okay.
ha, that’s exactly what happens. sports kills chat talk.i’m not a fan of that, at.all.
I’m a UFC fan…and I’m a GIRL!There’s just something about grown men duking out that is so entertaining!
VRRRRRRRRRROooooooooooooooooooooooooooMmmmmmmmmm
I like sports, although basketball isn’t my favorite. I’m still waiting for the Chiefs to win another Superbowl. Kathi
@vanedave – just kidding. But Sports Journalism is a career for me, so this could be a good way to get the stuff out there =)
Aww, but I loved when y’all started talking sports. It was so cute …and manly! haha.
@vanedave – Sure, sounds like fun!
I’ve already sent you a msg replying to your mass msg about this. But hey, I’ll do it here too.I like sports but don’t write or debate about them. So, I’d like to see this entire thing take root and sprout, but I can’t really add much for it.
Im most certainly a sports fan. Hubby and I have tickets to the Flyers game tonight. I had every intention of posting about it tomorrow… way to steal my thunder! I hope you are able to get that sports site together and make it last!@chaospet – thats because hockey is the best sport out there!!
@der_lila_Stern – Without a doubt! 🙂
While I was in college (7 years) I could talk college sports like an ESPN announcer. Loved it! Basketball, football, baseball, you name it, and I knew my stuff. It was exciting. Then life moved forward as it does and other excitment came along, and there isn’t time for everything and college sports faded from my life. (Didn’t fade from my husband’s though. Imagine that.) Hopefully that passion reignites one day when life slows down. Great post.
@TheBigShowAtUD – Whoops, missed my deadline. Some memo or other you assigned yesterday. Don’t you just hate incompetency?
I grew up in a hockey family, so I enjoy hockey. And some football. The Packers make me smile. ♥
Sports are pretty much my way of life.
Hello from another sports lover here. I’d love to help out if you still need it. (Football is my sport of choice.) Who says women don’t watch ESPN?
definitely a sports fan. March Madness was awesome. Now on to NBA. Who do you think will take it? Football season is just around the corner, who are you going for? I’ll always be a cards fan. I love me some Olympics 🙂
Sounds fun I hate when I blog about sports and get one or two comments……….actually I always hate getting only one or two comments!!!
Is it okay that I am a woman and love sports? I don’t want to ruin it with my estrogen. lol
and all hell breaks loose…j u s t k i d d i n g. gotta have an outlet for that submerged fan-dom somehow i suppose.
I’m a HUGE basketball fan, and also love Tennis. I follow football pretty closely and casually baseball.
@RaVnR – That mini was F1 related right?@ItsWhatEyeKnow – I’ll make sure I add you when the site is up.
@dlmcniel – you wanna write maybe or just follow along?@fading_roses19 – Lakers in 6 over the Cavs. Although I hope the Cavs can win.@buckeyegirl31 – I’ll let you know more details as they come in.@Lushy – Totally cool. Just keep the estrogen down to a minimum.
@vanedave – See also my sister, who is awesome with puns. Women are the best sports fans!
will be interesting to see how this goes. good luck.
@ItsWhatEyeKnow – you are something else…
w00t! I am all kinds of excited about this. 😀
I would write, if you want a girls perspective on sports. PS I’m from Cleveland.
@dlmcniel – lol. Nothing wrong with being from Cleveland, or a girl.
Word.
being a Cubs fan I have too many traumatic emotions to seriously write about sportz
I am a sports fan and yes I recomended your post. I love Baseball and Hockey as well as Football.
I am a huge hockey fan. Doesn’t help I am from Michigan though – land of Detroit Red Wings baby!!I dislike all other sports. Watching, anyways.. I don’t mind playing them for some side fun..But hockey. Eat, sleep, breath..
I love football. I get soooo excited when it gets close to August….I’m like a kid in a candy store, lol.Edit…And actually, I like hockey too. I don’t watch it as much, but I have been to 2 Wild games. Go me!
Well, I’m down if you’re down.
I always blog about sports. Anyone that reads my blog knows that we are completely hockey crazy in our house(we practically live at the rink I think), then baseball, football, and finally basketball. GO WINGS!!
@Katharsis – You, BigShow, and I could do a collaborative piece on the ‘Boys… especially since this season should be very interesting, to say the least.
Ha, I just read what you wrote about “sportsual orientation”. Mine is football. Hope that doesn’t mean I am large and butchy! Kathi
Considering Canada loves their hockey and I really miss my American sports… I’m in!
I didn’t realize sports fans were in the closet on Xanga… I’m game.
i love sports! im definitely a closet sports fan sometimes, until someone brings them up.good luck with the sports site, that would definitely be a plus to xanga![peace]
I don’t like sports =(Except for archery, that’s fun ^^
Not into sports but don’t mind rec’ing.
I’m down: football, basketball, and soccer only. NO GOLF, its a game not a sport.
Tennis, hockey, soccer?! HELL YEAH.
Hate sports, but have fun with that site 😛
Not a sports fan. Maybe my hubby will hack; but he’s football and hockey only, honey. And, it’s the Cowboys for him. Live with it.
the thing is, to everyone who says they hate sports or don’t want to see sports blogs on xanga, it’s actually a huge detriment to xanga that they are not here. sincerely, the last guy who got featured for writing a sports post. LAST YEAR
Game.but it can kind of be obnoxious when a women knows too much about sports…
Play ball! 🙂
I’m a fan of the only sport that matters…FOOTBALL!
“Eminem – Cleaning out my Closet” just came on my headphones. Lol.
i know this is gay, but sports ruin everything. I get out there and do some stuff and am forced other times to watch the games but a whole site dedicated to sports… don’t do it, it’s kind of like the religious site. . . it is tedious to discuss. hah sorry, but on a brighter note, good luck!
My name is gwacemom and I am a total sports fan. I love football and baseball and am not afraid to admit that I know stats as well as hubby does. Yep, that felt good. LOL
I’m down for baseball, and the fact that I live less than an hour from Angels stadium rox sox. So if you can stand the estrogen, I’m down @nicolemcw – sheesh, what a downer
********WHITESOXRULE******* by the way.
With you. No puss- you are not getting any pathetic sports. Soccer isn’t a sport. Nor is fishing, just to be clear. 100% with you. I even wrote a little blog to boost your ego. Just a little.
hockey fan here! 😀
I’m a big fan of Manchester United,, but I never do serious sports, nor watching any sports outside football (or like you said: soccahhh…) or give a damn about how to play football actually. Plus, real boys that do sports always disgust me. you know how they are; walking around like they’ve got the sexiest body on the earth, speaking about and selecting (gahh…) woman without realize that OMFG they have no right to do so, etc. The only thing I care in sport is Christiano Ronaldo. Does that make me have a sportsual orientation???
Rugby Union for LIFE~
73 Comments in, and I am here to tell you that I will talk to you all day long about…wait for it…wait for it…wait for it…BASKETBALL!
I love college football… and I’m a UFC fan!
I love sports, but I don’t think I follow it close enough to be any help. (No ESPN. =( )
“We Like Sportz” by the Lonely Island.. I think sports lovers alike will love this song.
LOL it’s not an estrogen issue. I love sports too! Baseball at least. I’m a huge White Sox fan! And I love playing different sports, so I think you are right there is an audience for it. So I love your idea.
I… don’t love sports. I have no closets to come out of. But go for your sports site, sounds like a good plan. 🙂
Hi, my name is Stephanie, and I was interviewed for Nascar radio.I’m also a Wii Sports athlete.
Having a sports site on Xanga would be awesome. I’m a huge hockey fan, and I occasionally follow baseball.
Why would sports fans be discriminated against? I’m not that sporty myself, but I wouldn’t want to deprive other people to talk about it just because I’m not a sports person. ^_^
I love sports too…and I have a sports blog, so there.
i like football!!!!oh, it’s soccer to most of you i guess…
hockey and rodeo.
Daniel-san, you know how much I like sports.And, despite my team’s absolutely shitty bullpen, I’d just like to throw some numbers at you.Mike Hampton is 1-1 with a 3.12 ERA and a 1:3 walk to strike out ratio. And that’s with a shitty first game. Two quality starts and he shows none of the signs of fatigue that he did with the Braves. He’s going to be fine.FOOL!
basketball fan!!how can I help you? 🙂
hopefully i make the cut and can talk about football and basketball
Rugby ftw!You know what would be good? A sports-ish site (unless of course that’s what you intend to do, I’m a bit late on this bandwagon).
I’m not a sports fan at all, but I’ll rec you. 🙂 I’m usually the one having to hide in the closet because I’m not a sports fan!
Sports fan. Soccer and hockey.
Lets go Red Wings lets go!All I can say is, the Detroit Red Wings are going to crush you.
@Still_groovy – nah. I love a woman who loves her some football.
Not into sports at all. Good luck.
@Shirlann – My first post will be why the Cowboys are the worst franchise in sports right now.@woodrowwilson – haha. Well my Michael Phelps post got featured. Does that count?@Kontzicles – Hell no! I love it when a woman knows her sports.@Peridot21 – yeah I knew you’d be down.@gwacemom@momaroo – lol. Glad to have you aboard.@StrawberriesMimi – White Sox rule nothing!@womansofa – lol. I enjoyed the mini blog.
@lizheartshakespeare – Well as long as you keep the estrogen in check, you’re cool.@tata_on_the_roof – no. That makes you a Ronaldo groupie.@scotchtape20 – we have quite a few here on xanga.@Krissy_Cole – Well how bout that. You learn something new everyday.@Like_A_Tigah – Your readership will be more than enough.@MakinzyKrysteen – There are quite a few UFC fans actually
@vanedave – I know… but I bet none of them know Chuck Liddell
@iStephanieMarie – lol. Wii Sports is pretty fun.@Tei_Hakuto – You are a good person. Others are not so tolerant. @theblackspiderman – Yeah I know this man. But its outside of xanga right? So this site could maybe plug your outside site sometimes. We need to talk dude.@maniacsicko – We will have a European correspondant or two.@another_rebel_without_a_cause – Mike Hampton is exactly four starts away from an injury. I can’t wait to rub this in your face.@October_Lies – Just look out for an invite soon.@DanzInRealLife – that would be cool. We have to see how this goes first.@jb132 – @flowerspushthrudirt – We have a good number of hockey fans so far.
i say stay in the closet!! LOL
@vanedave – Oh yeah. I went crazy with it a few years ago on my Xanga. I am a huge Mavs fan! (They have made me uber-fall in love with basketball.) I enjoy other sports, but nothing will ever trump basketball.
I love football, Cowboys & the Nittany Lions. I like some other sports too, but not as much.
@lizheartshakespeare – yup, thats me. i wished him luck though.
sports fanlove baseball and football the most and then basketball
