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

[Goring-by-Seagull]

They swap once, both teams have to bat otherwise it's a bit pointless. Each innings is about 75 minutes.

Sorry. I'm just trying to ban cricket. They take up too much space down our local park, and the grass isn't cut outside their oval rope thing so the boy and I have to play through a 6 foot jungle.

I'm going to say it again, because I've actually thought about how much I dislike it when it pops up on tv. Golf, again.
Even the star of Golf is so boring. The Open will be all over ESPN over here, God save us.

I'll watch any sport if we are winning

 

[Norman Potting]

Went to Arlington speedway last year and in almost every heat the rider who got off the start line first finished first, the rider who got away second finished second, the rider who got away third finished third and the rider who got away fourth finished fourth. Fascinating stuff.

Me too. Went many years ago with a fanatical Eagles fan (he did mad things like going to Berwick, the nearly Scottish one, to watch them). The bikes went round and round and round. Then they did it again. And again. And again. God it was boring. Commentators voice was strangely familiar though.

Cycling
Horse Racing
Rugby League
Golf - although I occasionally watch The Ryder Cup if there's a chance of giving the Yanks a spanking
Rugby Union - although I did jump on the band chariot when England won the World Cup

Not sure they count as popular but Rugby league and basketball leave me completely cold.

And while I love Motorsport I cannot get any joy from F1.

 

[Ravids]

Main one is GOLF! Absolutely hate it, plus all American sports so baseball, american football, basketball and ice Hockey, never quite got into horse racing either, and despite following rugby union I've never really followed or enjoyed rugby league.

Apart from that I pretty much like and follow all other sports, so that's football, cricket, r union, tennis, cycling, snooker and I kind of follow formula one and boxing, only watch the really big fights (such as Forch v Groves last month) and might sit down to watch an F1 race towards the end of the season if there's something riding on it but that's as far as it goes.

 

[Mental Lental]

I remember staying at my sister's in Leicester when Albion were playing some midlands team on the day England won the rugby world cup. As Johnny Wilkinson was lining up to take the winning kick I was outside sitting in the taxi we'd called to take us to the station holding it for my mates who were still inside watching because I really couldn't give a toss.

 

[OzMike]

They have a sport here called Aussie Rules Football, or AFL.
Utter shit, no class, skill or quality.

 

[Rugrat]

Baseball (Could probably be swayed if I went to a game)

You'd like it even less!

 

[chez]

Rugby is the main one for me. Really don't see the point in it. Formula 1 is pretty boring as well to me.

 

[The Kid Frankie]

F1 aint a sport.

F1 aint a sport.

You may be right but I'm not going to get into that debate as I like watching Darts, Snooker & Pool !!

None of which are a sport

[The Fifth Column]

The test for me is whether i would actually pay to see another sport other than football or cricket, to date I never have. I applied for almost £7000 worth of 2012 Olympic tickets and got nothing apart from 4 tickets to Wembley to see some football


I can't stomach anything involving horses, tennis, rugby, anything American or winter sports (basically numerous variations of sliding on ice and snow).

I used to hate golf and dont watch it as a rule but recently woke up on the sofa and watched the closing stages of the US open i think it was and it was quite gripping stuff and some yank called Bubba something or other won.

That's a pretty good test. I can happily say that I used to pay to go to the darts every winter for a lads night out drinking and betting and being lairy. Later in life when I lived in Asia I also spent great days at two different 9 ball pool championships (a round of the Star Sports League and the world championships - took a Fillipino mate to the first and we met Efren Reyes afterwards having a beer and smoke outside the venue - he got mobbed).

I have also paid for half a season of Super 12 Rugby (as it was then) in Sydney and been to watch England at Twickers and been to American Football and Basketball matches. I don't think I'd pay for the tennis or golf so I'll have to add them to my dislikes!

 

[surrey jim]

Tennis, never got into it, either watching or playing.

 

[Triggaaar]

Basketball, snooker, club rugby, golf (apart from the Ryder cup), horse racing, F1, darts, and plenty more.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Thai elephant football. Very slow paced and not a huge amount of skill.
