I myself am a soccer referee, and man, sometimes I have to stay outside working in that annoying uniform from 8: 00AM - 1: 00PM! Even more annoying than that, you have to know every little thing to ref well. I used to play, then switched to reffing, and trust me, it's at least TWICE as hard as playing!!!

Also my dad's a baseball fanatic and he took me to a baseball game when I was around 7 months old. Also I like to watch rodeo because I like to see how psycho the animals will go. Plus some cowboys are really cute. Also ShiShi (10: you're totally right! I know people who are figure skaters, dancers (myself included) and cheerleaders, and they work just as hard as any other athlete. In fact, many football players take dance classes to help with balance on the field.”

The way if something bad happens, like if she falls...that doesn't stop her from winning. She just is so committed to the sport. It's good because if your life is rough like mine, it's nice to express yourself, but not in an angry manner. My life is actually really rough. My dad died from a heart attack, my brother is handicapped, and my little sister is blind. And me, I have heart cancer, and I have a fake leg. My life is pretty rough."

"I absolutely LOVE watching sports, especially the Winter Olympics!! I really like the speed skating, ëcuz the people whiz right past the screen and it looks like you're right there watching them!! The only sports I don't like watching are football and baseball, ëcuz I don't think they're that great. I also don't like watching soccer, but that's cuz I'd rather be out playing it!!"

--Anonymous, 5
"I loooove watching sports, especially basketball. I love it because, you know, when you're just relaxing with your brother or something it's so fun to just sit back and watch. I mean, I don't know if I could survive without sports. I like the Washington Wizards, Phoenix Suns, Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, and many more! I'm a real tomboy, so I'm always playing them too."

"FIGURE SKATING IS THE BEST! It is the most athletic sport there is. People who say that it's not a sport are stupid. It is so demanding and hard and it is pretty but extremely intense all at once. It is better and more athletic than gymnastics! If you disagree, then you obviously don't skate, and you are very wrong."

"Never go on any type of diet cause it can stunt your growth FOREVER. I am only 4' 2" and weigh about 54 pounds right now cause I am obsessed w/ gymnastics. I wanted to be like Olympic gymnasts who are mostly really tiny, so I started doing 4 hour gymnastics practice every day and 6 hours on Sat. and I ate only 1 meal a day. I might have gotten better at gymnastics but I am on the edge of going to the hospital, so never diet unless it is a healthy diet and approved by an adult."
--Lauren, 12
"My favorite thing is to see if my favorite team will win. I also like the anticipation to see if they play well or not. By the way, I'm talkinone ng about football, dudes.:)"
--Ajax, 16
"I like watching live sports because it's happening right as you watch, and I think that's just so cool. Even though they obviously can't hear you, you can sorta cheer the athletes on. If lots of people already know who's won, then doing that is sorta dorky."
--Raelyn, 13

--Noelle, 11
"My favorite thing about watching sports is seeing how well the athletes do. Example: figure skating. They're so graceful and do such amazing jumps! The sports I like watching the best are the rough-and-tumble sports. I'm not sure why, but maybe it's because I have a really small build and I could never do them."
--Lynnie, 12
"Because you can always root for a team and I spend some time with my dad."
--Burgess, 12
"My favorite thing about watching sports is when they win!!!"
--Andrea, 9
"My favorite thing about watching sports is the experience. You have to wait in line for a long time to get your tickets, but you're willing to wait because you want to see the game sooo bad. Then you go get food and find your seats. During the game, the camera on the screen looks at people in the audience and sometime people propose!!!"

My friend Jared at my school is totally into race cars and stuff and I wasn't but ever since I went to the races I now LOVE NASCAR!!!!!!!!!! I try to get tickets to every race. I took a picture w/ Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (they are really famous RACE CAR DRIVERS) AND I GOT THEIR AUTOGRAPH! I had a VIP pass too, so I even got to have lunch with them after the race!!!!!!! Jeff Gordon won! He always wins! He's the man! He rules! I LUV THIS SPORT!
