WhiteFence's Favorite Sporting Events

Back before college, I never really understood the appeal of being a sports person. Not an athlete, but someone that was actually into sports. Sure, growing up I was a huge fan of the Houston Rockets (Clutch City), but beyond that I just didn't drink the Kool-Aid on sports the way my friends did. However, the wonder of college football opened me up to a whole host of new interests. Now, all I listen to in the car is sports radio, and one of my favorite shows on TV is Pardon the Interruption, an ESPN debate show.

We are currently in one of the bigger sports seasons of the year. With the college football bowl games in the recent past, the NFL playoffs currently underway, the Super Bowl next month, the NBA All-Star weekend shortly thereafter and March Madness after that, there is a whole list of sporting events to get excited about.

This got me wondering what other people's favorite sports were, and how they liked to enjoy them. I took the liberty of asking other WhiteFencers that very question. Here are some of the responses I got...

Brett, Manager of Order Efficiencies: My favorite sport is baseball. I am a HUGE Chicago Cubs fan. Grew up about an hour outside of Chicago, so it was ingrained in me at a young age. I also played from age 5 through my first year in college.

Stacey, Senior Process Analyst: My favorite sporting event is forcing my boyfriend to watch football on our smaller bedroom TV, while I claim the superior TV and play Wii in the living room. He watches it ALL DAY.

Hasan, Process Analyst: My favorite sports event is the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament. I love that March Madness consistently provides big upsets and an actual playoff system (*cough* BCS *cough*) for 64 teams.
