How do I get into sports? To be more specific, how do I become knowledgeable about sports to the point where I can at least follow what's going on and pretend I'm interested?
I've never had an interest but my friends keep inviting me to big game parties and I hate being quiet.

>Pick a sport
>Read up on the rules and stuff
>Watch some highlights on youtube
>Learn a few famous players' name and face and what they're good at.
Easy mode:
>Buy the FIFA game
take an evening or two to learn the rules and terminology. use Reddit and Wikipedia, 4chan is shit for learning about anything.
then take a look at the standings and get an idea for which teams are typically good, which ones are causing an upset etc. that should give you enough to work with, add kind as you're honest with your friends that you're new to the sport. no one minds that, but being dishonest about your knowledge is easy to pick up on so don't bother.

I hate swipe typing.
