Your hobbies are awesome, and I'm being sincere. I was merely addressing this statement made in response to the claim that sports is a common bonding activity:

> Huh? You mean like these people behaving like apes in these modern-days arenas, yelling at 20 people running on the grass and hitting drums while drinking beer?

The implication was that the only bonding obtained through sports was through spectating obnoxiously, while many people enjoy playing sports together.

Point taken, and I agree. I like to watch baseball sometimes, but I took issue with people who implied that children should be brought up with sports as a cornerstone of their lives whether they like it or not.
