My friend: Betty

I have a friend whose name is Betty. She loves books, but she hates reading. She loves swimming, but hates water. She loves "Going Green", but she hates the environment. She loves Scooby-Doo, but hates dogs. She loves the Illead and the Odyssey, but hates all of Homer's Writing. She hates hot, cold, and lukewarm. If you can figure out why Betty likes what she likes, then I will pay you $25

She loves football but hates sports. ;)

I've heard a variation of this kind of riddle before.

Yeah, I did too.
It was "what is behind a green glass door". It took me forever to figure it out.

Well that would just give away the riddle, wouldn't it? ;)

Indeed. But I fail to see how that is a variation of 'My Friend Betty'. :-k

Green is behind a green glass door. Door is behind a green glass door. Glass is behind a green glass door. Football and soccer are behind a green glass door, but not sports.
