For a context: I emigrated from Europe to North America as an adult. I used to watch hockey and football (soccer) growing up and know the rules and mildly enjoy watching an occasional game. And I can totally relate to the issue of missing opportunities for smalltalk because of my lack of interest in typical North American sports: american football and baseball. Not that I cultivated disinterest, it is just I did not grow up with it and right now getting to know the rules and intricacies of theses games seems too much of a hassle. I am thinking of getting to know American Football, more for socializing than anything. Baseball is probably a lost cause for me.
