A question for the people who don't like sports....

So, let's say just for the hell of it you somehow got to play (whatever sport pops up in your mind) a sport. And it turns out you had an amazing talent for it to the point you would eventually end up pro. Would you pursue a professional career or no?

Take advantage of it and make a career out of it.

Ok but would you pursue it or not?

Absolutely. The salary professional athletes make is sickening. However, if I could get in on that.... :P

I'm sure people who aren't big into sports would still pursue it if talented. They might not like sports, but I'm willing to bet they like money.

Depends if you like drugs and alcohol and partying more than sports to pursue it

You're not just born good at something. Any professional sports player made it there through dedication and hard work. If I didn't enjoy something, I'd never put forth the time and effort to become pro at it.

I can't think of any sport I'd want to devote so much time to, and since that would take time away from pursuing my actual goals, I'm going to say no.

Even if I was like amazingly good without even trying, if I absolutely hated it, I don't think I could make a career out of it, even if I could make a fortune.

Though maybe I would temporarily, make a lot of money, and then bail. They do make a lot of money...

That's actually what I was thinking. Play a season or two. and retire from the sport.

But I love certain sports. Motor racing especially. So I would stay.

Also. I'm not saying if anyone here just flat out HATES sports. This question is meant for people who has a certain feeling that is negative for sports.

I hate sports so why would I care if I was good at them? I would rather just do a real job.

Not denying that, but it still takes a massive amount of effort to get to the pro level, even for a gifted player. And there's no way of knowing how good you are until you put that work in. So anyone who even wanted to cash in would first have to really dedicate themselves to the sport, and I can't see them doing that with no promise of payoff unless they loved it.

Hell yes I would.

Unless it was a sport that I could play sitting down, then no. I'm a very lazy person.

Amazing talent that beats professionals = Yes

Natural talent where you just happen to be better than your friends = No

I'm only good at sprinting and jumping. As soon as it involves a ball I'm terrible at it.
I'm more into creativity, arts and design.

Sure. Watching sports is boring as hell. Playing them is always fun no matter the type I've found.cd_rom

This.

A little surprised at the results.

Nope, I'd rather have a job I'm interested in than rather then I'd be good at. Plus I don't want to end up being famous for anything either.

Why wouldn't you? Do it for a year and get out if it's intense sport that will wear out your body. The amount of money will easy let you take years off a normal job.

Why would you not? Turning down easy money for doing something that comes naturally easy to me? I wouldn't even think twice about it. Definitely go pro.

Depends, I don't dislike sports, I just hate doing anything that gets me sweaty.

I only workout because I want them delts that make the hoes melt. A wide back, to get p*ssy in the sack.
