Most American Sports - don't mind Basketball but the rest can fuck off.

All forms of Horse Racing.

Boxing - in fact all fighting sports, UFC, Wrestling, Judo et al.

The appeal of American footy blows my mind. Maybe that's why there's so much gambling around it, because the actual game itself is shite. 

 

"I got it first hand from a waiter in Vegas that the Steelers QB has AIDS, Sunday's game is a lock!" 

 

Meanwhile, footy fans over here are on forums like this talking about how much they hate the weekend's opponents - cunts as they're known widely - and can't wait to put four past them.

Cricket: I played some growing up, but I just don’t care about it. It’s too prolonged for me to enjoy it. 
 

Golf: Same as above, really. I prefer golf to cricket, But it’s still just too slow for me to keep interest. 
 

Rugby: Fuck off. Unlike cricket and golf, I actively dislike rugby. I dislike Union more than League but I don’t like either. Waste of time, ruggerbuggering twats. 
 

American Sports: Completely encapsulates their nation. Nacho hat eating, 15 litre soda drinking, bizarre name having weirdos. Any game that finishes 1543 - 1542 isn’t a game I’m going to care about. 
 

Things I follow: Tennis and F1 weekly. Quite like Snooker and Darts. I quite like some eSports. 

The answer to Cricket is Twenty/20.

I think some of it is an age thing.
There were more personalities around years ago in different sports.
Growing up tennis, snooker, boxing, even track and field were all things you would watch on telly. Boris Becker. Jimmy White. Mike Tyson. Daley Thompson! Whereas now I’ve never heard of half the cunts who play these sports.

Americans take the piss out of our soccer because they think its boring to have a game that can finish 0-0. 

 

Well it's shite when both teams are scoring every 30 seconds, they don't have the attention span to stick with something unless they get treated like children with loud noises and flashing lights to keep them occupied. 

 

The only good part of a basketball game is like the last 2 minutes if the scores are close. Everything before that is irrelevant.

Well, Tennis is just coming to an end of a golden age. Probably the best it has ever been this last 10-15 years. The ‘big four’ has been unreal.

Easier to just list the things I like which is Footy and Boxing. Used to like snooker and darts but haven’t been arsed with either for years. 
 

I’ll watch Tennis and Athletics if it’s something like Wimbledon or The Olympics and I’m bored. 
 

Hate Golf, Cricket, Rugby, F1 and American sports.

I don’t follow boxing like a used to. It’s just... a bit shit now. I like Loma a lot but the rest is quite boring. UFC is losing my attention too.

Pretty much all of them. I only like track and field and boxing, although I haven’t watched the later since the 00s. 

@Tony Moanero showing his age, not watched track and field or boxing since the 1900s.

I cannot stand Rugby or Cricket.

 

I've played Rubgy a few times and even then I barely know the rules. I was only about 16 and playing against fat middle aged cunts who could barely move and was just given the ball to leg it and score a try. I was usually taken out by some fat cunt using a clothes line on me then moning when I didnt get up after 2 seconds. The fellas who played it were just middle class wankers who used it as an excuse for some homo erotic bonding on a saturday and an excuse to get shitfaced whilst looking at each others knobs and shoving stuff up their arses. Wools absolutely love Rugby. 

 

The rules are confusing and they always go on about how shit footy is and how they are harder in a gentleman thug type way. 

 

Got asked to play cricket with work and I told the fella that I despise cricket and have no desire to play it. Even got bribed with special leave and overnight stays in London and Edinburgh but I still couldn't be arsed with it. Too long, too boring and slow. 

 

Used to play tennis but stopped to play footy more regularly, always used to watch it but I just have barely bothered the last few years probably because I'm too emotionally invested in footy.

 

Used to like F1 but after Senna died and Prost retired it feels like there's no personality in it. I only found out the other day that Lewis Hamilton has been champion about 5 or 6 times when I thought he'd only been champion twice. 

 

I like boxing but enjoy the training and discipline of it rather than watching it and getting involved in all the hype.

 

Dont mind some American sports like baseball and basketball, been to a few baseball games in the US and enjoyed them. American footy is awful, there doesnt seem to be any sense in it and too many stoppages, only skill involved seems to be being able to throw it fast before getting twatted by a load of grocks.

Darts and Golf. Enjoyable to play (although, even in the midst of Surrey, pitch and putt is about as far as I'd go), but they're hobbies/pastimes for me, no interest in watching anyone else do it competitively.

 

Horse racing is only interesting when money is involved.

 

Ice Hockey is a bit shit outside of slapshot (the film) and NHL 94.

 

American football can be okay, but is so stop start I don't think I'd ever be interested in watching a full match. Likewise baseball, designed for play by play interest, loses my interest over the long haul as a result.

I'll watch anything unless it has horses or wheels.

 

Think I mentioned on here before that years ago the wife woke up one night at about two in the morning, wondered why she could hear the tv downstairs and caught me watching a curling match on Sky and said in a way she would have preferred me to be watching porn.
