How to Watch Sports

Being the huge sports fan that I am, I personally hate it when someone watches sports wrong. I know you're asking, "How can someone watch sports wrong?" This question will be answered right now.

1. If you are watching a sport that you are not familiar with, feel free to ask questions. The sport is never going to be learned without asking questions, so don't be afraid to ask.

2. Don't try to speak facts that you don't know. It drives me nuts when I'm watching with someone who doesn't know what they are talking about, but they try to make me look like an idiot. If you have any doubt about something you are about to say, say it like a question or don't say it at all.

3. Just because you don't know the sport, that doesn't mean you can't watch it. If it's a sport that you want to learn, such as football or baseball, then watch it. I personally believe that the best way to get the true feel of the sport is to watch it live, so go out to the stadium or ballpark.

4. Finally, there is nothing wrong with not saying anything. If you get stuck having to watch a sport that you don't know, or just don't like, then silence is a good thing. Just stick through it, and at the end of it, you don't have to watch it.

There it is, how to avoid awkward encounters with sports. Use these techniques when watching sports with those huge fanatics that you know.
