Everyone I meet asks me if I play sports and I always say no. I'm just not interested in them. I like to watch them but not play them. I am more of a intellectual person (not a nerd). But its so embarassing because everyone expects you to play a sport.

yea you don't have to play sports, watching and being a fan of sports is just fine, don't let other ppl affect what u do either, but even if u don't like sports, u should still get some physical activity in once in a while, such as a run, jog, walk, weightlifting or what ever just to stay in good shape, but it doesn't have to be in a form of a competition

You don't need to play sports because of what others will think of you, however you should find a source of exercise that you do enjoy. If you are in good physical shape and have an active lifestyle then you can be proud of your choices. I assume you are really talking about team sports which are usually very competitive. You might want to find an area in your life where you would enjoy competing on a team, but it could be in an intellectual realm.

you don't have to do anything you don't want to. Millions of people go through life without playing sports. So what? I am 6'2" and people always ask me if I play basketball. I don't do sports, I play video games, draw, write poetry, read books, etc. People can be ignorant and has their own viewpoints on things. If you read your a nerd, if you play video games your a fat slovenly idiot (which by the way is so untrue, I am not even one of those things.) if you draw your childish, and if you write poetry your emotionally disturbed. Half of these things come from people you wouldn't expect to hear it from. Like teachers for instance. My 8th grade teacher would mock my creativity always said art was for babies. Don't listen to what people say, it doesn't matter.

Who cares if you don't play any sports. As long as you have some type of hobby that you enjoy, don't worry about what other people think.

Its not bad at all if you don't play sports, as long as you stay in shape and are active.

Stereotypes are stupid. Don't let other make you feel embarrassed.
