Nah its not weird... im the complete opposite lol I love playing sports but bored to watch them. Soccer is a very tactical game I can see why people would be interested just like with any other sport.
I think a lot of people like watching sports while not actually playing them. Look at Baseball or American Football for example.
I really like watching soccer games I think its really interesting but I hate actually playing it. Is that weird? I absolutely hate playing sports I like to watch them though.
