If you start to yawn at the thought of a long drawn out sports conversation, then you're our type of guy. This group was started because: I'm a friendly guy, and I actually have sports abilites, but I don't have the interest nor the time to follow and watch sports and I find myself left out of conversations, and many times I get the feeling that the other men ( or women) might actually feel that I am somehow inferior or less masculine etc. I do enjoy watching MMA, that is because I am a kic …
