[Other Sport] Which sport would you wipe from the face of the Earth?

[Kalimantan Gull]

I've not read the whole thread but I assume EVERYONE has said BASKETBALL.

Because it's a heap of shit as a sport and it would be lunacy not to say it.

NSC isn't full of lunatics is it?

Complete shit to watch but great fun to play, and for that reason it stays.

Running in the other hand is shit from every angle. f*** running

Extreme ironing

Extreme ironing is easily one of the weirdest sports in the world. Practitioners of extreme ironing take their ironing boards to remote locations.

Basketball is shit. Two teams of genetic freaks go endlessly up and down a court scoring in turn. Eventually the game ends, and because one team missed once, they lose 119-117.

We're in complete disagreement here, I think.

I'd say the only benefit to watching basketball is that you're not playing it.

American THROWball

Edited for you.

Cricket. As dull as dishwater.
My brother keeps trying to get me to go with him, I'd rather be the filling in a Gemma Collins and P-Diddy sex sandwich while watching Mrs Brown's Boys.

Basketball. I watched it a bit in the 90s until I realised it is a game that’s 99% filler just in the hope of drama in the last ten seconds because the scores are so close that’s the only time there’s any excitement. Just dull. 200+ total points scored, maybe 40-50 baskets per side in less than an hour of play, to often just have a two or three basket difference at the end. The best players have an almost 2 in 3 success rate when shooting so it’s not even like it's much of a “will they score or won’t they” thrill when they get the ball.

They could just play ten seconds each game and have the same amount of drama and excitement and get the entire season over in 20 minutes.

And the squeaky shoes drive me mad.

Crickolfquash.

One sport only?!?!?!

I’m not playing by your rules.

Golf. Wastes so many different resources. Land. Water. Time. Lives.

Isn’t this almost every sport?

Cricket’s actually a ton of fun live. Unless you don’t like being drunk by 10am.

Golf due to it being an environmental disaster for the benefit of a few toffs and bores. Rewild the courses.

This is a weird take. You’re keeping most of the greenery in tact. People are out walking.

Football’s more of an environmental disaster than golf, as are most other major sports, simply because of the need to build huge stadia and have 10,000s of people commuting to them.

I do wonder if all of this anti-golf nonsense on here is just from people who are utter wank at it.

Rugby League or Synchronised Swimming.

Glad you agree. Cricket is so boring and deserves a ban.

Maintaining a grass lawn isn't keeping the greenery, grass cut every few days to a short sward is providing next to zero ecological benefits. It might as well be tarmac. In comparison to other sports, golf disproportionately uses resources over massive areas just for 5 people to knock a ball around on a Saturday morning.

If you're going to say well what about F1, that would be next on the list.

Cycling, because of the entitled twats that do it.

Closely followed by anyone that plays baseball. To have an American version of rounders as one of your main sports really is embarrassing.

I can’t believe anyone suggested Ice Hockey or Golf. Ice Hockey live is one of the most fantastic sports to watch. And golf is one of life’s great pleasures.

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion on baseball but it is your take on baseball that "really is embarrassing". It's totally ignorant!

It's not an American version of anything, it was invented here. And if not for the fact that India has a staggering population, you'd have to say its global reach exceeds that of cricket. It's a major sport in dozens of countries, not just the US. It is arguably THE major sport in the US, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic and Japan, and a major sport in Canada, Mexico, Korea, and several more central America countries.

Whilst the rules for baseball were similar to rounders 200 years ago, they're not remotely alike these days.

Darts, or is a sport really, Just an excuse for a load a drunken misfits to dress up as a banana or something stupid and watch a bunch of tattooed fatties throwing tungsten. Get rid it’s boring.

F1 - isn't a human sport. Just about which car is fastest.

 

[zefarelly]

I wouldn't ban any 'sport' or games . . . I'd just send a few to certain appropriate countries and make them stay there with no TV coverage.

Dressage to Saudi for example

NFL has succesfully stayed in the US as theyre the only people stupid enough to play the game, I'd just ban it being broadcast anywhere else.

I don't really see either of them as sport so that was a waste of breath

Some motorsport is far more sporty than many 'sports' but to be succesful is very much a broad spectrum team sport.
