I'm just curious as to what sports that all of you folk around the world have played. I'm sort of a sports fan, well, only certain sports, and it would be interested to hear what kind of things that you all play.

I play Football and I like to run in track. I play on the line in football. By the way, when I say football, I mean American football. Which is a very superior sport... Not saying that there aren't other superior sport, but in my opinion it is the best sport.

There is kicking involved Manticore. Field goals, punting, extra points, kickoffs... It is not all done in the hands.

I hate everything. But I did skateboard for a large part of my life, but had to quit due to some unfortunate injuries to my back, my right knee, my left ankle, and my beans (no joke).

But as for league type sports, I played Soccer, Baseball and basketball when I was younger. But nowadays I play nothing. I lift weights, but that's not much of a sport.

Football. Hah. Silly Americans
Give Rugby League a try. Great sport, and it doesn't look like a bunh of matresses having a fight. I had to give it up due to some pretty major surgery on my neck though.
I still play touch football (a touch version of league) and volleyball every week.
I had a season of soccer as a young fella as well, it didn't really interest me that much.
Played a few seasons of basketball in my final years of high school, but I stopped when I moved away from home and didn't know anyone who played (and I was never that great at it)

I love soccer. I am addicted to soccer, ice hockey and skateboarding computer games.

Hi! I do sailing, Thai-Boxing, Wushu, Tennis and Inline Skating... That's it, I never did something like football, wether american nor other kinds of it - I only watch it on TV with some of my friends and a few beers, but that can be sport, too:D

That would be soccer or football as I would call it :D. I certainly enjoy skiing also, both downhill and cross country, but that's just for fun, never really participated in any competitions or such.

I was a skateboarder through most of my teen years and studied Ken Yu Kai Karate at the same time. When I gave up boarding I also gave up Karate and turned to Wushu for a bit. I then studied Wing Chun that later evolved into full contact freestyle fighting. Until a few years ago I was a competing boxer and still love it. That taught me the reality of violence and burst the bubble so many Martial Artists wrap around themselves.
