Connecticut residents play sports less frequently than expected

A survey by LiveSportsonTV.com found that Connecticut residents last played a sport that made them sweat an average of 71 days ago, better than the national average of 91 days. Colorado residents reported the best at 19 days, while North Dakota had the worst at 188 days. Only 17% of Connecticut respondents preferred playing sports over watching, with 83% choosing to watch instead. In contrast, 67% of Coloradans preferred playing. The survey also revealed that 26% of Nutmeggers have lost interest in sports. Barriers to participation included a lack of friends to play with (44%), limited free time (27%), and insufficient local opportunities (16%). The survey indicated a cultural shift towards spectating rather than participating in sports.
