The article definitely resonates with me. An intelligent friend of mine told me that she figures that I don't enjoy watching baseball because I was just a nerd in school and don't realize the value of sports. I was captain of my swim team in junior high and lettered every year in high school in swimming. I also pole vaulted in high school (not very well). In college I did one year on the swim team and one year on the gymnastics team (I wasn't very good). I did Judo for around 20 years and competed in the state championships in my 30's (not very well). I qualified and ran in the Boston marathon in my 50's. In most races i was in the top 15% of my age cohort. I was never a great athlete in any sport, but overall more active than most; however, because I don't want to drink beer and yell for players that I have no connection to other than that they live in the same city she thinks that I'm too nerdy to appreciate the value of sports.
