Can’t pick a top 5 but I enjoy athletics, ski jumping, bobsleigh, various martial arts, strongman, rugby, motor racing, alpine skiing, boxing. Just off the top of my head

1. Horse racing. 

2. Athletics

3. Golf

4. NFL

5. Basketball 

 

I don't really watch the last 2. But, I plan to start watching Basketball as it's quite entertaining. And I'd watch them if there was no football anymore. 

 

I was tempted to put boxing in my list. But, as I've got older, while I'll still watch it a bit, someth doesn't quite sit right with me about a sport which has some primary goals that include cutting your opponent so badly that they can no longer carry on or to cause them brain trauma of a sufficient extent to render them temporarily unconscious. 

No offence, but if boxing turns your stomach I'm surprised you still like horse racing.

Do you do Jiu-Jitsu too, or just watch it? 

 

I got injured starting it and then work got in the way. Hopefully starting again in a month or two once I get back to gym and lose up a bit. 

 

Only did a month or two before. 

Found it fascinating and personally fucking scary. Being on the bottom and carry the weight and struggling to breath shits the life out of me as it reminds me of being in hospital and not being able to breath at times. Only once legit got someone to tap but it was a massive boost after getting mauled and feeling completely helpless most of the time. 

Having done a bit muay Thai before I had never felt so fucking helpless than having blue belts completely control me

[Pidge]

1. Rugby Union

2. Basketball 

3. MotoGP

4. F1

5. Test Cricket

 

and even those last three aren't exactly things I'd go out of my way for... I enjoy watching Boxing, field hockey, baseball, snooker as well, but only sporadically.  

 

Golf and Darts are the two I just can't watch, don't really like horse racing either (unless I'm in attendance).

Last night I had a purple belt 69 me and suffocate me with his crotch, both my hands were trapped too so I couldn't tap, and for a second I genuinely thought that was over for me, and my legacy would be having my name in the paper for dying with a blokes balls on my face. 

 

Stig called me gay in another thread, he must be right if I keep going back and subjecting myself to such torture.

Move tried to like other sports (an ex loved the Rugby League, never a fan of watching or playing Union (despite I was allegedly quite good, fuck knows...), I’ve genuinely American sports when I’ve been there, can’t stand racquet games), the only other things I’ve ever had a connection with is Horse Racing (but I’ve got to be there getting tanked up) & the Ryder Cup (I don’t care about golf for the next 23 months). Maybe a passing interest in the Olympics but I wouldn’t miss it if it wasn’t on.

 

IMO, football is the best and only sport worth bothering about.

My favourites.  Seen in a Stockholm chemist today.

[John102]

1. Athletics

3. 9 ball Pool

4. Snooker

5. Tennis

 

All of which i take much less pleasure in as i get older.

I did an official survey on this a while back and boxing won. The results are all there. Me personally, I pretty much only watch snooker and darts in any significant way these days. Used to watch boxing but there's too much bullshit that goes along with it. I like a bit of speedway too. And bowls once a year when the world championship is on. Used to watch quite a lot of test cricket too but lost interest. 

[The Golden Eel]

Oh, I also like the odd bit of ice hockey - go to the occasional Belfast Giants game, which is good crack but I wouldn't watch it on TV.

People pay good money for that over here.
