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

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.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh I know what you mean i.e. double dribble, traveling, handballs in soccer, etc.

When we play, no one else really takes control of the game so I just call out the rules at the start and since I told people what to do, they listen. We play really loosely, only calling offsides if it's a huge / blatant advantage to the offsides player, not this offsides by 2 feet bull shit. On the throw-ins, most people don't know how to do that so we just disregard that. We call out of bounds, fouls, handballs, and blatant things. Even the goal kicks are really loose, I would toss the ball to the spot I take the kick from but my team would interpret that as a short pass, go take the ball, and play. I'm thinking "wtf I was going to take that kick."
