The amount of money being spent in the professional arena of a sport nor the attitude of an over-zealous parent who you've never met should not hold people back

The amount of money being spent in the professional arena of a sport nor the attitude of an over-zealous parent who you've never met should not hold people back from enjoying sports.
Those who dismiss sports as being "for jocks" are not better than those who consider computers "for nerds".

Sports are irrelevant to living in the modern world; we can leave them to the jocks. Computers are not; knowing how to use a cell phone or the Internet helps enormously with many inevitable tasks of daily life. The fact that cheap computers became possible a few decades ago means our lifestyles are quite different from before that time. The fact that the Red team beat the Blue team in the Capture the Flag Series Bowl Cup a few decades ago is largely irrelevant to most people -- even to most sports fans.

Playing (and following) sports helps improve communication, discipline, teamwork and leadership without mentioning the obvious health benefits. Oh and guess what? A decent sports knowledge helps enormously with connecting with your fellow man, something I get the feeling you may have trouble with.
