Would those people not resent you for showing up and making them lose?
- sosborn 10y agoNo, because for most people sports are an enjoyable activity regardless of final outcome.
- icc97 10y agoPersistance at something is really fundamentally important, certainly in sport. Most people really respond to enthusiasm.
- inanutshellus 10y agoSocial leagues are all about goofing off together. Of course everyone still wants to win--social or not it's still a sport--but at that level it's really about getting you off your couch. Finding more obscure sports can help, too. For example there was recently a guy on the news desperate for people willing to play bicycle polo. "If you can ride a bike, come play with us we'll show you how to play!". Even if you join an amateur competitive league you'll still be fine because you'll sit on the bench during "real" games but you'll play during practice until you're needed or better than the alternative.
