how do you tell someone (another dude) you don’t like sport? Is it alright if a guy doesn’t like sports?

I’m tired of guys talking to me about sports. I have two options, either pretend that I know what the hell they’re talking about, and then when they ask me a question (whether I agree or disagree) look like a complete fool for saying something stupid. Or tell them straight up that I am not into sports, then I have to go into a long winded explanation as to why I don’t like watching sports while they look at me like I am from another world.

It doesn’t matter that they are out of shape couch potatoes while I am outgoing, active and fit who actually plays sports (just don’t like watching them), they still think I’m like *** or something (even though I get more kitty cat then them….but that’s another story)

I realize its a great ice breakers between guys, especially if you don’t know em (ie:”guy one: awkward silence, guy two: more awkward silence, guy one: “how bout them yankees”, guy two: ” I like boston”… yata yata yata)

So what do you think I should do?
