Mystery
I am going to be writing profiles of athletes for my internship, and it's a mystery to me why people like sports. For me, sports have always been an embarrassment. In elementary school, I hated any sport because I never understood the game, never wanted to play the game, never understood how it was fun. Dodgeball was the only game I was good at or understood - and basketball, to a lesser extent. I don't like competition, generally. I don't want to be seen as sore loser or a bragging winner. I don't want to play.
