My Misunderstanding of Sports

The July 19, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
Are you a sports fan? Tell us about fandom. If you’re not, tell us why not.

I never understood the reason for chasing a pigskin across the field,
All of the footballs I've ever seen aren't made of pig hide anyway.
To me they appear to be made out of some sort of oval semi-stiff plastic or rubber,
Which will put out a player's eye or give him a concussion if it hits him in the head,
All though, this is probably the reason football players wear helmets.

Then there is the other game of football,
The game with the round ball,
The game we American's call soccer,
I don't know if it makes anymore sense then American football,
But at least the ball is safer.

There is the ballgame with the hard round ball and bat,
Throwing the ball has to be a strain on the back
Not to mention hitting that little ball with that big wooden bat.

I can't hit a golf egg when I swing the club,
The egg doesn't break when the club strikes it,
So the club must be intended to hunt adult golfs.
I still haven't figured out how the golf chicks break out of the eggs,
I'm sure they must have strong egg teeth to free themselves
From those tough and unbreakable eggs.
Come to think about it
I've never seen an adult golf bird,
so they must be extinct.
That would explain the petrified golf eggs.

I'm not going to start on skeet hunting,
Well, I will write a few lines,
I can't understand how anyone expects to make a meal
Out of the round skeet birds
Because they break into a thousand pieces when the bullet hits them
And if you've ever taken a close look at one
They appear to be make out of some sort of clay
Rather then real flesh and bones;
I mean if could ever get one of those things in boiling water
You'd have a difficulty time cooking it.

As anyone can tell by reading this,
I am not a sports person.
