Recreational Sports, who cares it's in lounge kthx Options

[sixfive]

How many of y'all are active in sports, recreational or not? How many of y'all play it super organized / just do pick-up games? How many of y'all get super competitive and become assholes that call every rule violation when playing looooool?

Used to play a lot of basketball but since I moved back home it's become exclusively tackle football (no pads) & soccer, every weekend, 3 hours each sport. Soooo much fun I can't believe I'd stopped playing when I moved to my dorm. Then you get to walk away with bruises / scrapes and feel good about that shit.

When I play soccer there's usually 5-6 people who actually play and 15 or so who are terrible, but it's still a lot of fun because it's a bunch of people just enjoying the game having fun out there; that and a lot of them have gotten a lot better.

yeah mostly just pick up. i go with my friend and 80% of the time our 1-on-1 games end with punching each other or throwing the other on the ground. usually out of competition/frustration. we fight over the rules because he doesn't know as much about basketball but he acts like he does. i don't like how he fouls like a little bitch so i will elbow him in the face and from that point on it's less about making baskets and more about who is gonna hit the other hardest.


i'm picky. when it comes to pick up games, i don't wanna follow the rules 100% because i don't think it's necessary and i'm ok with leaving some out to make it more fun/make it work better with less people. at the same time i don't like when people disregard rules that are important to the entire concept of the game.
