Does it? I wonder if a study has been conducted into this? I suppose the process of jumping and spiking spots would be quite strenuous on the hands and wrists - I wonder if they’re able to use wrist supports when playing? Either way, I’m sure it’s a concern for women’s volleyball players around the globe.

Another vote here for golf.
Most overrated sport IMO....

Agreed, employ a fat bloke to ' train ' the horse then the skinny rich kid sits on the poor critter as it bounces around excessively in competition.. And the human gets the rosette

Boxing, horse and dog racing.
However much more urgently I would ban board games. Not just the playing, but the simple possession with a new law of "intent to play".
£2,000 fine on a first offence and a 5 year minimum tariff for subsequent offences.
We must be vigilant and I would expect concentrated crackdowns around the Christmas period.

Can I wipe out parts of a sport...?
I would wipe out an excessive growth of European football to the detriment of domestic football and most of the trimmings of the premier league, especially VAR. I would replace all this with Div 1, Div 2, Div 3, Div 4, and a strong focus on the FA and League cups, with replays after draws and having no match or competition settled by penalties. None of kick off dates and times of these games to be moved for TV companies. ( If there is less money raised by the sport in this dramatic new structure, then so be it.....the same players will play but they will cost less and be paid less...)

Golf does not qualify as a sport as far as I'm concerned and while I will happily see the back of it, the thread called for a sport. "Football" is the correct answer, the silly American version.
If you got rid of cricket, all we’d be left with is the Hundred

Most sports I don't like can be easily ignored. However I live in Australia.... So cricket, cricket can get in the ocean.
Why does it take so long??
Oh they shortened it and added lightly up stumps... And it's still shit.
And if we are pretending fox hunting is a sport, then that too.

Lightly up stumps would be worth a go for sure!

American Football. 30 seconds of action every 10 minutes. Yawn!

And to this day I still wonder what the hell Kent Walton was going on about when he was referring to a ‘crossed buttock’.
