Why in the world would I try to take an interest in a topic I have no interest in in order to fit in with people on a level I have no interest in fitting in? Life is very simply to short to be excited about these kind of things. As it is, I don't even have time to find out everything I really do want to find out. If I did have to get interested in something I have absolutely zero interest in, it might as well be fashion shows. I'm thinking the romance potential might be higher than with sports. If people are interested in professional sports fine... I don't feel elitist or look down on them. I do scratch my head and wonder to myself that they don't have something more interesting to do with their time, but whatever. I don't claim to know what everyone else should like. I sure don't have to be interested though.
