Get into sports
Talk about things you like . Don't be a weirdo
Gay Indian here. Can't force myself to love football or baseball. Just not my thing. But the idea is, you don't have to. Be honest about what how much you know. Ask your team members to explain how it works, use that as a conversation point and show then how quickly you pick up the rules of the game. But please please, don't punish yourself to like something just because you have to fit in.
💅🐠here too.
A1 have you ever actually talked to another person?

OP, are you a transgender?
OP- Fem 🐬 here who's also not into sports at all. I don't even try to fake it because wouldn't last 10 sec in a deep convo. Haven't had issues with team members not understanding. Just be honest and forthcoming with this and any other topics and you'll be fine.
Just gay, E1
Never in my life
I honk EY1 has got he right idea. You don't have to be into it but if it's team conversation you can ask questions and learn like any other topic you don't know about. Don't have to feign true interest tho.
Just be yourself and talk about what you're into. I find that sports is a lot like the weather where it's something people talk about to have something in common but not everyone who can talk the talk actually cares all that much. Find some other areas of common ground or get to know what other things they're interested in.
Find a way to spin off sports conversations into your area of expertise. If you keep up with the stock market, for instance, it can be pretty easy to steer the conversation into discussing business by just bringing up player salaries or sponsorships or something.
It's well known on my team that I don't follow sports. I usually just ask silly questions about my vague understanding of players, rules or news and everyone gets a big kick out of it.
