I played sports in school, and have no problem understanding them. But watching sports doesn't interest me.
This doesn't seem to cause me problems. I can talk to working class people about other topics easily. I also have no reason to go around bashing sports, so this helps I'm sure.
One thing I've noticed is that it does block me from being close friends with certain men. Because their favorite leisure activity is watching a lot of sports with friends. That's far too high a commitment for me since I truly dislike watching sports on TV.
Same experience here. I've rotated through a few number of personal sports into adult land though. That really helps because you'll find others that similarly enjoy what you're doing and don't care for watching sports either. Good exercise too. Stuff like cycling and rock climbing are particularly good cause it makes sense to go on road trips.
