Amusing: Sports VNs

One thing I didn't notice until recently is that there is a severe lack of (non-nukige) sports VNs out there. The reason I didn't notice? It's fairly simple... I have no interest in conventional sports (martial arts-related sports being differentiated from 'normal' sports). There are protagonists and heroines who are athletic in many VNs, and there are a few combat-sport VNs (like Walkure Romanze and Aokana). However, all-in-all the lack of sports VNs is... amusing on the surface.
When you think about it, the reason is fairly simple. A lot of otakus and otaku writers just aren't sports-lovers or players. Most of the people wanting to use VNs to relive their youth aren't the type that played sports, so few VNs are sports-related as a result. It's a pretty simple explanation when you think about it, but it made me laugh when I figured it out.
