I totally get that...on a cerebral level. Sports culture is something I grew up utterly without--neither of my parents watch sports, so it's never been a part of my world growing up (though that didn't stop my sister from getting into it; my Marine brother, on the other hand, also doesn't care about pro sports in the least).
I also don't like how male-centric and gender-normative the whole culture is.
But I can see how the comraderie, the narratives, etc., could be appealing. I personally just find the whole thing really, well, dull (among other things). I realize I'm missing out on something socially meaningful, but I'd rather just read a book than bother with all that sports stuff. ;)
