Why is it that men who don't like sports are viewed as not manly or sissies?

Why is it that men who don't like sports are viewed as not manly or sissies? Just because you are unable to obsess about the athletic prowess of OTHER men and are bored to death watching a bunch of grown men kick a ball around a field, somehow your masculinity is in question. What is it what makes you more of a man if you are somehow able to memorize statistics about a bunch of jocks? I just dont get this. And yes, I am one of those people who just isnt into sports. I dont mind watching the olympics, or the occasional hockey or tennis game. but it just bores me to death. And I am 6'5" and scuba dive, have lots of masculine interests, just sports is not one of them.

If a man can't throw,catch or run I would think he is a sissy.....1 of the three will take them off the sissy list.
If my sister can catch and throw and run....whats the guy's excuse?
Its not that a man has to play sports so much as the man has to be capable of doing so.
If the SHTF...I would rather be with someone athletic and in shape than some sissy who isn't and can't toss a ball,catch a ball and who would whine about all the work.
I know women manlier than those types of men.
Those men should be ashamed for being sissys.
Not playing sports doesn't make you a sissy....being a sissy makes you a sissy.
