Popular sports you don't give a rats arse about.

[Fran Hagarty]

Rugby - organised thuggery
Tennis - I would rather watch paint dry
Show jumping etc - pointless
Horse racing - boring
Anything American which is not played in the rest of the world...........

I agree with all those except that I can tolerate horse racing in small doses.

 

[Weststander]

Not that many:

Diving
Equestrian eg dressage, 3 day eventing
Snooker
Hockey

But having said that, I'm pleased when an English or GB competitor wins.

I've had phases of enjoying Cricket eg the Gower/Botham/Knott/Randall era, the recent success under Hussain/Vaughan/Strauss. But I think Cricket gets far too much coverage compared to the numbers going to matches or participating. You've only got to see NSC threads about England or Sussex where there are relatively few posts, made by the same small band of people posting. It's talked about as if the masses of Sussex or Albion people, have a big interest in cricket, but I suspect the vast majority do not.

Tennis - I just can't stand the middle-class poncyness of it
Any sport where the winner is determined by judges.

 

[Questions]

Chess though I love playing it.

Come to chess.com and we'll play.

I have always had a fierce aversion to diet rugby,... aka Rugby League,... its rugby with all the goodness taken out of it,.........( and I am a 35 year Rugby Union player.....)................. I hate that northern game.

I like most sports. Rugby league is shite though.

Favourite sports to watch are Football, boxing, F1, tennis, darts!

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Anything indoors

 

[beakyburn]

Horse sports. All of them.

POLO. The royals and the stinking rich playing hockey on horseback.

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

F1, Boxing and Cycling and F1.

And oh yes, F1.

 

[John Bumlick]

F1 only for me otherwise I'm probably into every other major sport with football down in 4th behind Cricket, Boxing & Rugby Union.

I can honestly say I have never joined and contributed to a forum relating to my fourth favourite sport...

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

F1. It was different when they drove facing death but now it seems one large media circus.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Shinty

 

[fat old seagull]

Anything with animals.
Anything without a ball.
Synchronised swimming (even with a ball).

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Rugby. Never watched an entire game, never intend to. Most motor sports.

I'll watch tennis if I'm paid to.

Sailing might be a laugh to take part in, but watching it is dull.
