Talking about sports doesn't just involve observing what happened, but also speculating on things. This sort of thing is good for my science side, because it is essentially observing data, spotting a trend, making predictions based on that trend, revising the trend when future events don't match that trend. I think my problem with interacting with people is that I am either incredibly passionate about a subject or I really don't care.

Not for me. I can definitely recognize that I would not like to be friends with someone like me. It would be terrible.
Also, knowing things about sports can get you quite far, actually. A lot of times, I will make friends with people because it makes my life easier (if people like me, they will treat me better). Sports is a great way to spark that friendship. Sure, it's not a close friendship or someone that will help me move, but it will be someone who can relieve my boredom, end a dry spell or let me know about awesome things going on. That is actually why I started watching football again after not giving a shit for several years.
KharBevNor:
There is already a thread for people who love sports. Can you not read, because your mind has been melted by sports?

except most of the people in it are arguing both sides because it's a complicated issue worthy of discussion.
Actually it's really good we have two threads because we literally can talk about sports in the other one without shitting it up but this thread is talking about the value of sports to our society! Two completely different things and both pretty good topics!
Jeez.
