[Other Sport] Your next favourite Sport

[The Original]

Swimming. Daughter is a competitive swimmer and I spend half my life pool side. Gruelling sport, for swimmers and parents alike!

 

[BN9 BHA]

What is GAA?

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

MotoGP and boxing for me.

 

[Guinness Boy]

What is GAA?

Gaelic sports - hurling and Gaelic Football

 

[Notters]

Watching - cycling; doing - hiking/climbing and cycling. Bit surprised there's no hiking on there as it must be one of Britain's favourite pastimes, unlike some on that list!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Watching - cricket

Doing - running

I dip in and out of NFL, probably because I'm a Bears fan and they're rubbish but also because my job now means I'm up at 5am on a Monday so sitting up all night watching NFL with a beer or two is totally out of the window. I got in to AFL and Rugby Union when I lived in Australia but don't bother with either now except the Rugby World Cup and the odd 6 Nations game if there's absolutely no football on.

Thanks, i don't think I would have worked that out from the abbreviation.

Haven't voted as the assumption is that football is everyone's favourite sport. For me, as for some others - it isn't. For me the NFL, Rugby Union and Cricket all come above football (which I put on a par with Rugby League). Outside of Brighton and England I have very very little interest in football as a sport. As sporting spectacles I find most football matches very boring to watch, and I couldn't tell you the last game I watched that didn't involve Brighton or England.

However, each to their own. I know from reading other posts over the years that a lot of people think the sports I like are 'boring'.

PS - I didn't always feel this way. Growing up I only liked football and nothing else. Not sure what changed. Or when.

Squash - love it. Fiercely competitive sport in an enclosed box. Often see former Albion players Paul Flood and Sammy Nelson playing, although Sammy prefers the racquetball version.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Voted cricket even though I'm not a big fan of the game, not like I am a fan of football anyway.
I can sit and watch cricket highlights and I have enjoyed watching a few 20/20 games at Hove.
One of my sons plays so I occasionally watch his matches, but the games don't last that long in junior cricket.

Can't say I would be bothered about watching any of the other sports listed

When I was younger I was a mean left winger at hockey with pace, and loved playing volleyball.
I also supported Brighton Tigers home and away before their demise, so ice hockey was a favourite.

Now I enjoy watching tennis, cricket and athletics.

Your Mum, she's a sport!

MotoGP for me.

 

[Perkino]

Formula 1...my 3rd would be Snooker but since I've been married that has been frowned upon

 

[ferring seagull]

Next favourite to watch is tennis - why no option for 'wummin' (participating) ?

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

Don't watch any other sports but I play ten pin bowling. Only because I'm pretty hot at it. Well, used to be anyway.

 

[seagulls99]

Fair comment. be interesting to see how many say the same...

Tennis is above football for me. Get to at least two grand slams a year.

 

[Boring Goring]

Table Tennis for me

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Cycling (watching and doing), skiing (same again) both ahead of football.

Cricket and tennis sneaking up on the rails.
