Did anyone not play sports in high school?

What’s a varsity jacket?  I went to high school in the late 90’s, bruh ??‍♂️

 

But I’m just playing around.  I played every sport growing up.  Made the varsity football team as a freshman and saw some time at DB.  Gave it up after my freshman season.  After that, I mainly smoked weed and chased tail.  Played lacrosse.  Meh...

Oooooh a Jason Sehorn clone!!! Get it done OBD!!!

This is interesting...  I've never understood  those who didn’t like to play sports being fans of watching sports. No kind of slight. Just makes me think of a car lover that hates to drive. 
 

me: I sucked at baseball, Played soccer from middle school through senior year varsity and lacrosse from freshman yr in HS to sophomore yr in college.  Even made super 7 athlete of the week for 5 goal game vs rival high school, lol.

 

i always wanted to try football but parents forbade it. No clue if I would have been any good, but based on how I played lacrosse probably would’ve tried linebacker. 
 

I find the pro level nfl game to be fascinating in comparison to all other sports. It’s so strategic and nuanced.  It really is like chess is to checkers.

Junior year I ran cross country and wasn't very good at it. I was usually back of the pack. I can only remember one race where I was not the last runner from my school to finish, I beat one of my teammates at the finish line. Senior year I instead became team manager for the cross country (boys and girls) teams and also the girls volleyball team. Because who doesn't want to hang out with a bunch of girls 4-5 days a week.

High school for me happened in the 80's, I was heavily involved in sports until grade 8.  The high school sports teachers were (expletive deleted) and killed my interest in school sports.  I stuck with rec and city rep teams at that point, but opted out of high school sports. 

The value of a good teacher hit me at that point, the high school teachers were brutal, swearing, shaming, degrading, sucking the life out of almost everyone who tried out.  My rec and rep coaches could be that way too, but more often were motivational or at least not abusive.

I wonder if coaches can still get away with that crap in the days of cellphones?

If you wanted good ***** you either had to be a sports star or in a band... I didn't know how to play the guitar, but I could knock the ***** out of someone on the football field.

Perhaps this isn’t a fair judgment but my guess would be most members did?   Sometimes when I read the posts on the Bills a lot of posters are very knowledgeable about the X’s and O’s of the game.   Imo, that comes from playing football on a competitive level.  I get the arguments against PFF in that regard.

 

I didn’t play sports at all in high school with the school.   The main reasons were I was out of shape and unathletic at the time, transportation woulda been an issue with both my parents working, and well I really didn’t like most of the student population lol.   It was a small catholic high school.   
 

Anyone else? 

 

We never learned much about Xs and Os playing ball in Buffalo. Our coaches were all bottom tier gym teachers. I learned a lot more playing pickup ball when I was in college in Florida playing with some kids not good enough to play college ball down there. YouTube has also been a massive help.

I participated in cross country, track, soccer, ballet, and modern dance but wasn’t particularly good at any of them. Now all I do is the occasional park run and weekend yoga. I learned about the X’s and O’s of football solely from watching games with my Dad as a child. If one is passionate enough about the sport, I bet it’s possible to develop a Bill Belichick-like understanding of the game despite having never played it.

That’s exactly how I look at pro football and why I love watching it: it’s like a more violent and emotional version of chess, with each piece filled to the brim with steroids!

I rowed crew up through 8th grade, about that time i also peaked at 5-10, got to Liverpool HS where the crew team were 6-5 and above.  Figured my future was in drinking....i think i chose wisely

[ChevyVanMiller]

I played Varsity Tennis and was All-League my senior year. I also played PAL basketball and Tyro Football. What I remember most fondly, however, was the endless hours of street football, and hockey that my friends and I played on our block. Constantly moving the hockey nets out of the street (and swearing at the driver under our breath) every time a car had the audacity to come down our block and interrupt our game. LOL.

For reasons passing understanding, I was on the JV baseball team in HS. Never started but I did keep the scorebook for 2 years. Had one game where I had a few meaningful plays as the 2nd baseman I backed had to come on in relief when the starter blew up. Just missed a HR. ?

 

Didn’t make varsity my junior year. My dad bought me a set of used golf clubs and my buddies did their best to make me the 5th man. I ended up 9th. At the sports banquet that year I was awarded a varsity letter, a jacket, and a couple of trophies that my buddies earned.

 

So I guess my answer is yes and no. I practiced but rarely played.

 

At my first job interview after college, the owner asked me if I ever played team sports in HS or college. So, I told him that first paragraph.

 

Owner: “I only hire people who have played a team sport. Do you know why?”

Me: “Because it teaches you a discipline. You have to show up on time & listen to your coaches. It’s about accountability.”

O: “Wow. That’s one of the best answers I’ve heard to that question.”

M: “Yeah. Army ROTC sort of re-enforced that.”

 

He glanced at my résumé again. “Oh. Do you have an Army commitment?”

And that was the end of my practice interview.

Actually where I went to school you’d have found the sports teams were where it was at if you were into drinking and other drug use lol

 

The goalie of the soccer team used to joke if they started drug testing all of us there’d be only one player left!

Sometimes it’s just a good talking point.   Like my moms family were all sports fans.  Even though I stopped playing after a while it can be a fun thing to talk about instead of politics, religion, etc...

I am Amanda, I am 25yo, single (by choice) and employed as a Financial Analyst in an Accounting firm where I have worked for 3 years. My Manager is Peter Mathews and he is, to put it bluntly, a total sleaze. I have lost count of the number of times I have caught him peeving at me and making sexist remarks. I have thought about resigning but I enjoy most of my work and it affords me a decent, but not fantastic, wage. But last year my expenses began to outstrip my salary. I tried resisting asking for a raise as I could see the company was struggling a bit. I thought if I asked I would be let go and be in a bad situation.

Finally I couldn’t wait any longer. I would ask for a minor pay rise and perhaps that was possible. I went to see Peter. “Oh hello Amanda. How are things” he said leering at me. I explained my situation and he listened intently. “I see” he said “well you know as well as me that the company is barely breaking even. In fact I have joined with a friend of mine and formed a small video business which is doing very well”. “You sell videos?” I asked. “No my dear, we MAKE videos” he replied “special videos for a *********** clientele. Videos they can’t buy in a store”. I understood immediately. He was making porn. I wasn’t surprised. It was something I would have expected of him. “In fact, Amanda, you might like to star in one” he said “it would pay very well. Solve your money worries in one hit https://www.lewdharry.com/en/ ”.

“I don’t think so thank you very much. I have a fair idea what these videos are and who they are for” I said. “Well you think about it my dear” he said still leering “the offer is there until the end of the week”. I left his office feeling sick. I had my credit card bill sitting on my kitchen bench that had to be paid but starring in some sleazy video was out of the question. I went home that night worrying about that credit card bill. I didn’t just want to pay the minimum and have to pay 20% interest on the remainder. I picked up the mail and went inside. I looked at the envelopes and my heart sank. I opened each one. An electricity bill and my car registration. I sat and cried. I knew what the answer was and I cried more. I could not even eat I was so distressed.

The next day I walked into Peter’s office and told him I was interested but I had to know more. “Fine” he said “after work I will take you to meet my partner and we will explain everything”. He was smiling as I turned to leave. The bastard knew he had me over a barrel. Just what was he going to make me do? What sort of grotty video was I to star in? I stayed at my desk as the other staff left. Peter came up and said “let’s go honey”. I swear he was licking his lips. We drove to an industrial area on the edge of town. There was no-one around. He parked outside one and we got out and he opened the door. “This is my partner Tony” he said “Tony, this the woman I told you about last night”. Tony shook my hand. He was maybe 40, tall and quiet good looking. “Come Amanda. Let me show you around”.

The warehouse had been set up as several rooms. Most had beds in them. There was no doubt what sort of videos they made. I imagined both Peter and Tony starred in them. “We have a number of males and females on our books. A client will contact us with a special request for a certain type of video and we film it” Tony explained “it may be some particular kinky video like threesomes or lesbian but we do have one or two requests which we can’t do. We have trouble getting someone to do them. It means big money for anyone willing to do something out of the norm. Perhaps you might be someone we are looking for”. I had no idea what he was talking about but I heard “big money” and so I was immediately intrigued.

“Big money” chipped in Peter “isn’t that why you came back to me?” He had realised that I needed money and he was going to use that against me. “Let me show you a special room” Peter said and opened the door. The room was bare except for a large couch in the middle of the room. “This is a room we set up when we got a request for something very special” he explained “we were offered a huge sum to make a bestiality video”. I had no idea what he was talking about. “Oh come on Amanda. Surely you have heard the word” he said. “I have no idea what that is” I said. “Well let me explain. Bestiality is women or men having sex with animals” he said. I was shocked “You mean” I began. “Yes my dear” said Tony “we have two clients who want us to film their dogs having sex with a woman. They each say their dog is fully trained and they said we came name our price”.

I stood there shocked and disgusted. “You want me to have sex with a dog while you film it” I blurted out “are you both crazy? You want me to perform for the world to see?” “No, no” said Tony “you would wear a mask. No-one would know who you were. Why don’t I show you what we are talking about?” I was too stunned to argue. We went into the office and Tony opened his laptop. Clicking onto a site and clicking on to a video I watched a woman wearing a mask playing with a dog. The dog licked her and after a number of attempts he mounted her and judging by her moans she was apparently enjoying it. Tony and Peter looked at me and then Tony wrote something down on a piece of paper. “This would be your cut for one video” he said. I looked down and gasped. All my financial worries would disappear at once. “I will have to think about it” I said. “We need to know by tomorrow” said Peter “tomorrow”.

He drove me back to my car in silence. My mind was spinning. I drove home and looked at the bills on the kitchen bench. “*****” I said out loud. I had remembered the address of the site that Tony had shown me. I went in and that night I watched several videos of women with dogs. Now I know porn is not real. At least the moaning isn’t but I kept watching and thinking about that money figure Tony had shown me. “OK” I thought “one video, take the money, bills paid. I can do this”. Next day I walked into Peter’s office and said “OK tell Tony I am in”. Peter’s eyes popped and his jaw dropped. He had probably hoped I would say yes but he was still surprised by how quickly I announced it.

The following weekend I drove to the warehouse. Both Peter and Tony were already there. They were very excited. “We wondered whether you may have had second thoughts” Tony said. “Well I said I would do it so here I am. What now” I said. “Well we are waiting for the client to arrive” Tony said “then we can start. Now both Peter and I will have cameras. Peter will take a wide view and I will do the close ups. Do you need to see any more to see what will happen?” I said it was fine. Telling Peter to wait for the client Tony led me up the room. There was a crutchless body suit and mask on the couch. “Put those on honey and wait” he said “it shouldn’t be long”. He left and I got undressed and put on the lingerie and mask. I put my clothes in a corner out of the way. Moments later Tony returned with Peter, a guy I assumed was the client and this huge dog. Second thoughts? I had a hundred thoughts but most were about paying my bills.

I never did know the client’s name. I guess he wanted to remain anonymous like me. But the dog was called Rusty. The client explained that he was fully trained and while his wife wasn’t into being a B word she got off watching dogs with other women. It sounded dodgy to me. I imagined him sitting there jerking off while he watched it. It didn’t matter. I was just doing it for the money. I could see Peter drooling as he looked at me practically naked. I smiled and he smiled back. Little did he know I was thinking “it would cost a lot of money if you want to ***** me”. “So let’s get started” said Tony. Telling the client to stand out of the way he and Peter picked up their cameras. “Action” cried Peter. “My God he thinks he is a Hollywood director” I mused https://thelivenudecam.com .

Rusty had been fairly quiet. I guess all the strangers were freaking him out. But as soon as I began to pat him he came alive. Either that or he smelt my already soaked *****. Like in many videos I walked over to the couch and sat down. “Hello boy” I said “aren’t you a lovely doggy. Would you like to lick my *****?” Now I don’t know what triggered him but he immediately pushed his nose into my crotch. I squealed as I felt his wide, rough tongue come in contact with me. It felt so weirdly wonderful. I opened my legs wider and he seemed to be trying to push his tongue inside me. I forgot about the cameras, Tony, Peter and the client. I moaned as my body started to shake. God am I cumming? “Yes Rusty” I wailed and came with a rush.

I peaked in 8th grade Parochial League basketball.

 

School was so small it wasn’t “which sport would you like to play?”, it was “how many sports are you playing this year?”. You try telling Sister Rosalie “none” and see how that works out for you.

 

I was a Catholic school triple threat from 4th to 8th grade; hoops, track & swim.
