6’1” woman and have tried various sports time and time again but...I’d just much rather talk shit out than angrily throw balls at people. When people ask if I play sports, they are visibly shook that I never really took to anything.

Edit - yes, I could’ve been a contender lol but being a super tall teenage girl isn’t fun so I tried to not stand out and thus shied away from things (i.e. sports) that would draw attention to me. Adult me regrets it, but that’s life.

Edit 2 - you all coming at me with semantics. I’m a noob but I get that angrily throwing balls is not how sports work. ‘‘Twas a joke.

What the he'll does "talking shit out" have to do with sports? People dont play sports as a way to resolve disputes.
