I am actually one of those girls that enjoy sporting events. Even if it's a sport that I don't understand there is something about the atmosphere that intrigues me. The person next to you is a stranger but family at the same time. People are willing to throw caution to the wind, exposing their goofy side and sometimes their body parts painted in team colors. You're allowed to yell and scream as loud as you want. You're allowed to dance whether you have rhythm or not. And you're allowed to sit quietly and observe the performances. There are people of all ages, male and female, of different races, with different hair styles, with different clothing choices, some families, some couples, some are with the guys, some are with the girls, and on occasion some are by themselves.
Obviously I am an expert at people watching. A sporting event is the perfect opportunity for me to be entertained for hours. Depending on the sport, and how much I know about it, I am equally entertained by the athletes. I feel like I can tell a lot about a person depending on the way they act. I look at whether they are team players or a one man show. Do they extend sportsmanship to opposing parties or do they need to keep themselves separated to maintain a competitive edge? I watch the ways they carry themselves in victory and defeat.
If you really want to see me get passionate about a game, it definitely needs to be basketball. I love basketball. However, I can never seem to find anyone that wants to attend these events with me or that enjoys it as much as I do. I've decided I need to become comfortable with attending sporting events alone, at least until I find someone that shares my interest.
