I should be proud because....

TheCatWoman

I'm often told that I should be proud of things like sporting achievements, but I hate sport and if it disapeared the only thing I'd notice was that my normal progames wern't being messed about because of it. It dosen't matter what sport is, mens, womens team or individual, I dont' care and I resent being told I should.

Can anyone give me a reason why I should care, because I really don't understand this national pride thing in sport, or much else to be honest.

  • No one has to like anything but at least give it a try! Team sports are a good way for letting off steam, an opportunity for getting behind a concept [like country or nation] - or simply enjoying the expertise of players. Whether you attend high end matches or a city game, it's an amazing experience. Being in a crowd enjoying the same thing is uplifting - you lose sight of yourself as an individual with petty day to day worries. There is so much that divides us but team sport is one way of cultivating the capability of humans to join for one purpose - to applaud the skills sports-people hone through many hours of practice with team mates, putting self and differences aside for the sake of the team.

    I’d relish the opportunity to play team sport again!

    It’s been over a decade since I have had the comfort of consistent sporting opportunities. I love playing footy and I’m bloody good at it too.

    The team-spirit, the battles, the blood, sweat, tears, injuries, fights, the tussles. Corr it is sumfink else geeza’!
