I played hockey and basketball most of my life. I represented my region in both sports at state championships. My parents both played these sports too so I guess that's where the influnce came from. I would not consider myself ultra-competative, I mostly played because I loved these sports. Winning was of course enjoyable but it wasn't everything to me. The social side of playing a team sport is definitely a great thing.
I also enjoy watching sport - rugby league, rugby union, basketball, tennis and yes, even boring cricket. It is most enjoyable being at a live match but thanks to Fox, we get it beamed daily into our living rooms.
Bring on the Olympics!!
