But disc golf, for instance, is great. I get to drill into the shapes of the different discs and their flight patterns coupled with how hard I throw or how windy it is or how hot or humid the air is. It's a wealth of information to lose oneself in. Snowboarding, mountain biking, surfing, kayaking, diving, martial arts, all fun stuff, all sorts of different things to learn and be interested in.

But mainstream sports? Nah, yeah, same thing. Those are pretty darn boring.

it hurts sports that they all but ban the unique strategies and force one playstyle

Yep. For some reason, I've never managed to even feign interest in sports. During high school, I used to participate in quizzes. The sole job of my partner was to handle the sports section. I always found it so utterly boring.

I only watch sports when my friends are having a watch party, and even then I mostly attend because there's beer.
