Why do so many aspies have an intense hatred for sports (excepting martial arts and brainy games)?

Even though I'm generally not interested in sports, I actually did watch some of the winter Olympics. The Olympics actually kind of interest me for some reason.

I also kind of enjoy bowling (playing, not watching), I just wish I had friends to play with.

My observations we are loners, so tend to like individual sports, including martial arts which tend to require more celebial activity. Sports I watch include golf, weight lifting.

I'm not good at sports and I get bored to death when seeing people running after a ball for two hours.

Look, unless a tennis match looks like this, I don't care

For me, it is mostly poor motor skills/ coordination and not being taught how to actually throw the ball etc. at PE class.

Also the fact that i was wearing glasses made me actually scared of PE class.

I had no issue with P/E just did not like team sports. did a bit of running,

The reasons a lot of us hate sports are basically the same reasons we strongly hate a lot of things due to sensory overload, motor coordination difficulties and how much pressure there is to socialize. Loud noise, bright lights, uncomfortable uniforms, a coach that yells at you and insults you in front of everybody. Being bullied by both kids and adults in the past. If you're a girl, people will probably think it's "normal" for you to not like sports, but all the other girls seemed be able to skip rope, go skating, play hopscotch, and ride a two wheel bike. About the only activity I was good at was swimming. I can't really even remember not being able to swim. Too bad I could mostly only go swimming in the summer.
I don't get why society makes such a big deal about sports. You bring home a sliver medal in the Olympics and people say you suck for not getting a gold medal. It's like punishing a kid for getting a 99 on a test because they think there's no reason why you shouldn't have gotten a 100. They tell us our interests are not normal or healthy and then they spend the next 6 months tearing each other apart for not agreeing who the better hockey team is. And then there are the riots at stadiums where people are literally killed. I thought it was "just a game", but apparently that's another lie adults tell you when you're a kid you get frustrated and upset because you lose all the time.
