Okay, let's get one thing straight. I'm an arts girl through and through. My highschool phys ed credits were earned by the insane amount of hours I danced outside of school and OAC (grade 13) kinesiology. You'll never catch me on a field and I haven't played baseball since grade 8.
BUUUUUT
My university is huge on the school spirit, and therefore, huge on sporting events. I've been to a football game, a hockey game, and last night- I lost my basketball virginity (my housemate dances at half time and I had to go see her before the season was over).
The funny thing is- I HAD A GREAT TIME! It's such a riot, even though I have no idea what is going on (I have some idea with hockey, I'm Canadian, it's in our blood) it's just fun to watch. It's even better when the games are tight, you can't help but feel the competitive edge.
At every game there are the groupies who come painted with pots and pans and pylons-as-megaphones to psych out the other team. They were there last night in full force and even got some of the 10-year-old townie kids banging pipes along with them.
It was just a really fun night out, and gave me a really good sense of school spirit. I'm not a sports fan (except for hockey, but they went and killed the damn NHL), and never will be, but going out to a live sporting event is guaranteed fun!
