Do you like sports?

No, not really. I’m not into sports and to be honest, I have quite a sedentary lifestyle. Although many people I know seem to excel in playing ubiquitous and popular sports in China, like Ping Pong and badminton, I gotta admit I’ve been a total failure in all sorts of sports since my childhood.

For instance, when playing badminton, I always end up being the one that constantly picks up the birdy, I guess I just have poor eye-to-hand coordination, I’m just not able to hit it. So no, I don’t like sports, mind you, I do like riding my bike.

Do you watch sports events?

As I said, I don't like sports. And so, I’m not a fan of watching sports events, either. I never understand the hype around sports events like the World Cup and NBA…unlike many that get so excited about it and can’t help but discuss it all day.

Different folks, different strokes I suppose, but for me, I much prefer reading a book than being stuck in front of the TV and getting emotional about something that, at the end of the day, literally means nothing to me.

Is it better to watch sports events with friends or alone?

Well, I really don’t know because I’ve never done it, but I can understand the comradery it emboldens.

You know, guys sitting around, drinking beer, cheering for their favorite teams together and complaining if and when they underperform. So, it makes sense that it would be better to watch with friends as it’s a communal experience.

Do you think you’ll watch a sports event in the future?

I might, but I doubt it. However, in saying that, I think one day I’ll sit in some stadium to watch a live game, say, football, just to feel the passion of the fans and witness the teamwork among the players.
