My favourite hobby. Now what is my favourite hobby. Well I thought for quite sometime and came to a rather different conclusion. I love watching TV but just not 303 Disney channel or 101 mnet I would rather switch to 200, press the ok button, and get the latest sporting news. The sports I’m most likely to watch are soccer, rugby, cricket and tennis.
Why soccer you might ask?
Well I play a lot of soccer and since the 2010 world cup is going to be held here it’s more encouraging. Soccer is also a very vast sport and many countries around the world play soccer. I would say it’s the most popular.
My personal favourtie club is LIVERPOOL and country is Spain mostly because Fernando Torres plays for them, but I also like the Spanish team very much and the country spain as I been to it. My favorite players are Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrad, Cristiano Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso, Xavi Hernandez, Robin Van Persie, and Fabregas. I am a huge huge soccer fan and I probably can tell you more about soccer than most boys can because for me it’s a lot about statistics.
The next one is rugby
I have recently only been introduced to rugby about two years ago. I have found that rugby is a very exciting sport and you become quite tense watching it because you usually don’t know what’s going to happen next. Another reason is that SA won the world cup and that made it a sport to watch as the whole country was celebrating the victory. My family is not such a rugby kind of family and they find it quite weird for me to be sitting by myself and watching a match. I am a huge sharks and SA supporter. My favourite player is Francois Steyn

The last two are cricket and tennis
Well cricket because I play cricket during the cricket season and it’s also very popular in this country. I also like cricket because it can be very nerve wrecking and full of action at times especially in the limited over matches eg. 20 20. I support SA and my favourite players are JP Duminy, Hashim Amla, Herchelle Gibbs and Shahid Afridi.
Why tennis? Well tennis because my family is a tennis family and when I say a tennis family I mean it. My moms two brothers were no 1 in south Africa amongst the Indians colureds and Blacks. I also feel quite connected to the sport when I watch and it makes me want to go outside and hit a few balls. In tennis I support Rafeal Nadal and Fernando Verdasco from Spain in the woman Mari Sharapova and Elena Dementieava from Russia and Venus Williams from The USA. Well I also love tennis because I’m naturally good at it and it’s the sport I’m most confident in.
Now lets get down to my obsession. Every single day I press ok on any supersport channel and check all sports news.
I know the rankings in tennis men and woman. I watch every Australian open, roland garros aka French open, Wimbledon, US open, ATP and WTA masters series, davis cup and the list goes on.
I check every log fixture and result in the Absa Currie Cup, Super 14, , Fifa World cup qualifiers, Super sport series, stanerd bank pro 20 series, Barclays premiership, CARLING CUP Italian series a Spanish la liga, Uefa Champions league, Telkom knockout even the PSL and the list as usual the list goes on.
You can ask me who’s who in the zoo in a team.
If I miss a game at night. First thing In the morning I check.
My Siblings call me SA statistics because if we are watching a game and they ask a question I will immediately check it on the ok button. I KNOW I AM A FREAK.
The Essay on Should Women Be Allowed to Play Against Men in Sports
Every sports fan hates to admit the fact that sports are simply business, but it is undeniable that sports are one of the most lucrative businesses in the U. S. Right now the market for women’s professional sports is growing rapidly. The best way for women’s sporting organizations to promote and sell this market is to align with previously established organizations such as the NBA, ...
Here is another example of me being a freak.
The Paralympics was on an guess what? I would spend 1-2 hours everday watching it keeping the updates and filling my heart with glee when the national anthem was played. Well I think that everbody only watches the actual Olympics and the Paralympics are taken for granted. I checked the medals table and all the news about Usain Bolt, khotso Mokoena, Oscar Pretorius and Natalie du toit every day for both Olympics.
Now you would ask me why spend so many hours watching sports????
I really don’t know.
Now I ask you what happened at the 2008 ABSA currie cup final?
Yes it was The homeboys SHARKS VS The blue bulls.
Who won????
The sharks
Here’s a funny joke.
A man had a ticket for Absa Currie Cup Final but was seated in the upper, nosebleed seats. As the match begins, he notices an empty seat down near the pitch on the midfield line. Taking a chance, he makes his way down to the empty seat and asks the man next to it if anyone is sitting there.
“No”, says the seated man,” That seat is empty.”
“This is incredible,” says the other man. “Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Absa Currie cup final, and not use it?”
The seated man says “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Absa Currie cup final we haven’t been to together since we got married in 1961”.
“Oh … I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. But couldn’t you find someone else – a friend or relative, or even a neighbour to take the seat?”.
The seated man shakes his head. “No. They’re all at the funeral.”
