I was not that big into sports growing up and neither was my family. I did play some sports growing up, and I do watch some sports like football, baseball, and soccer, but a lot of times when I watch those sports, I find myself not keeping up with game times, but when I do, I not focus too much on the actual game except for the team scores

Does it feel hard to try to like something new like a sport?

Perhaps you're trying to watch sports that aren't very interesting to watch?

Football, baseball and soccer are all pretty slow-paced. Do you ever watch hockey?

Ive been thinking about it. I would think it’s probably gonna be harder for me to get into since I never followed it before.

That's fair, the sports that make one nostalgic, along with the ones one might play are probably the easiest to get into.

That said, it's pretty high tempo and the rules aren't that hard to wrap one's head around, especially compared to gridiron football.
