Just because someone is an athlete, doesn't mean that's the only thing they have interests in .And if that IS the only thing they are interested in, and it is something you are completely NOT interested in, then I would find someont new to gain interest in.

I would first of all, get with your brother, nephew, uncles, or anyone in the family that has knowledge of that sport. Don't over do it, cause hey, some people play a sport, but don't live, breath and dream about it 24 hours a day.
Then, talk to this person. If he brings up the sport, you can at least have some common ground, and can build your knowledge of the sport, based on what he shares with you.
Most of the time, other things will be the topic of discussion so, enjoy yourself. Not only is being a good talker good, a great listener is even better.

Study, study, study, and ask LOTS of questions. I'm female, and for some reason, the year I was in the 8th grade, I got interested in sports. I read every sports book in our school library, and learned a lot. I played some - tennis, softball, volleyball - but was never a jock. However, I've learned lots about sports over the years, and have been an even bigger fan that my ex-husband and some of my nephews. I've found it really fascinating - but if you don't, at least learn enough to be interesting in conversation. Don't be fake - if you can't get sincerely interested, then support him but do your own thing.

It's too bad that you assume that just because he is an athlete that all he thinks about is sports. You don't have to have an insterest in sports in order for him to like you. If he is well-rounded, he should have more interests than just sports. Try to appeal to his other interests.

Just because he is an athlete doesn't mean he doesn't have any other interests. Try to get to know him as a person. Ask him what interests he does have. I'm sure you will have something in common.

INTEREST is somthing you need to build.it all started unknowingly when we were child. our Interest grew on those things which we were good at. that mean we learned about that well or we got to learn about that well. so if you start recieving information about sports then you will start to gain interest on ATHLETE. New babbies are hard to take care. new bussiness is hard to grow. similarly new interest is also hard to grow but once you get the pace, you will realize that things that you didnt had clue about is turing into your intersest ...

Hey Dangerous Sexy you probably have something that will take his mind off the sports... Talk about everything that you like, ask him lot of questions about himself and let him drool over you, that is; if you handle is correct.
