English term or phrase: the XXXXX is a sport I can relate to (or not)
I'm proofreading/editing this document translated from English into French (from France) for the Canadian market

The translator had "est un sport qui m’attire”, which I considered appropriate, but the client does not like it!

any good suggestion?
