I think I'm afraid of sports games

Originally when I purchased the Xbox 360 console, I just didn't play any sports games because I didn't think they were the least bit interesting and along with RTS games, I just don't like them.  Then I rented Fight Night Round 3 which froze before getting to the title screen, but it was active in my account just long enough to be stuck there with a 0-point label in my achievement status (or whatever you call that).  Now with NXE, I've deleted it from my system and I've become wierdly proud and obsessive over the fact that I no longer have any sports games in my gaming history, mainly because those are largely associated with having easy ass achievements and I'm some sort of elitist douchebag because I haven't played any for points.  In fact, when I was visiting my parents house for christmas, my step brother offered to let me play his copy of Madden 2009 (I was trying to get 50,000 achievement points before the end of the new year, a goal which I barely completed), but I never played it because that meant I would then have a sports game infecting my profile.  Now I wonder:  What if they actually release a sports game that I'm interested in?  I mean what if they remake Sega Soccer Slam?  Dear god, what will I do if that happens?  Will I stay away from it just because of the fact that it's a sports game?  Or will I play and get points in it despite it being a sports game because of the undeniable fact that Sega Soccer Slam with online capabilities would contain so much awesomeness that space-time would rip in two?

You shouldn't feel bad because you neglect a certain genre of game. I mean, I probably own more skateboarding games than any other genre. I also don't own, or even enjoy playing any traditional sports games.

Then again, the 360 has more sports and shooting games than I particularly care for, which is why I also own a Wii.
