Hello everyone!


Hope you are all having a great day. I would really appreciate it if you guys can tell me about your favourite sports.


Thank you!

I've been an ice hockey fan since the San Jose Sharks franchise started up in my hometown in 1991. I love going to games, am a member of the all-blind fantasy hockey league on Yahoo, and would love to learn how to skate and play blind hockey some day. Losing my vision in 2014 didn't stop me from being a fan, as SAP Center has a live radio feed where I can listen to the action with no delay and as fast as our radio announcer can call it. My wife and I are season ticket holders and attend every game and watch all the away games on TV. I love the energy and atmosphere of the rink, the speed of the game and the constant action. I get really bored at baseball, football, and basketball games, so I just stick to hockey :)

As a participant, waterskiing, endurance swimming, and hiking.

As a spectator, American football and basketball. I don't watch the games but I do watch the highlight reels of my favorite teams and players in slow motion on YouTube.

Not a huge sport fan, but I quite enjoy watching Rugby when England or the All Blacks are playing.

Used to be a regular Formula One watcher but stopped when Michael Schumacher was dominating as it got a bit predictable but I've recently started watching again.

Judo and running. Not swimming, definitely not swimming.

I'm surprisingly good at basketball for a blind person (or used to be when I was younger anyway - haven't played in years), but I'm from Kentucky, so that tracks...

As for watching sports, I don't really seek out games to watch, but I can enjoy several if I happen to find one on or I'm with other people who want to watch them. Baseball's probably my favorite, followed by football (American). I don't care for basketball at the professional level, but enjoy watching college ball.

I love running, hiking, Olympic style wrestling, bootcamp style exercise, OCR, and endurance events like GORUCK, swimming, and kayaking.

I enjoy weight training, taking long walks, and swimming. I do enjoy listening to basketball games. I really enjoy the WNBA. Those women are just as, or more competitive than the men! A few years ago I got into enjoying the sport of hockey! I was never a fan until I went blind. I enjoy listening to the hockey games on the NHL app. I also enjoy American football. And I participate in fantasy football leagues for basketball, hockey, and football.

I’m a paralympic climber. It’s by far the most fun I’ve ever had with a sport. Starting isn’t easy, and I’m definitely lucky to have so much great support. Last september I placed third on my first big national competition, which felt incredible!

I love the NFL. I am a giant Patriot fan.
I prefer listening to the game on the radio rather than  on the T.V because the announcers are more
descriptive.
