The CRAP sports discussion....which sports literally bore the arse off you ?

Telejester

Ill kick this thread off with NFL American Football.

Dear god, if ever a tedious, neverending and mindnumbing sport could cure insomnia, this is the one for sure.  Ive almost sufferred with lockjaw , such was the intensity of my yawning watching the superbowl one night. I think its a stinker of a sport which I couldnt force myself to like ever.

Add to the crap sports discussion and what is it you dont like about your choice ?

Interesting.........I dig athletics and the sheer power on display during hammer, shot put and javelin i find enthralling, watching jan zelezny throw the javelin in excess of 100 metres was astonishing.

the only interesting thing about watching the hammer is trying to work out whether one is watching the men's or women's event.

javelin is more fun cos there is the prospect of it seeing it hit someone and stick in their calf cos they weren't paying attention

All of them.

I would rather chew off my own arms than watch sports.

Any sport that involves grown men chasing a ball around a field...

Football - it's fucking shite!

Tennis

Kilgore

Quidditch.
A Harry Potter game with brooms. Come on, somebody is taking the piss.

pub games elevated to the status of sport. so darts, snooker and poker.
'trying to pour yourself a pint while the barperson's back is turned' is however a most excellent spectator sport.

going around in circles games. car or bike racing, velodrome cycling, running. boring as shite.

Cricket. Oh, and rugby. Tedious.

The ones where the telly is all green, the speakers stop working and little dark fleks move backwards and forwards for an hour and a half (give or take). 

Flipside of this is the  best sport - Takeshi's Castle

football, if England are involved.
they fluke their way through to the semi finals by tripping over their own shoelaces and barely beating other teams like Lapland and Nowhere on goal difference.

at which point the MSM goes into WW2 pun frenzy.

the semi then goes on for extra time, extra extra time, injury time, toilet time, time-standing-still-time, what time is love, until it we end up with penalties and some zitty trog booting the ball right out of the stadium (and immediately having to go into police protection).

f*ck right off!

Golf & snooker aren't sports. 

Cricket for me. Any sport where the participants stop for tea is not worth watching. How did that happen?

"Rupert! Your teas ready!"
"But mum we're not done playing yet"
"Well you can go back out after your sandwiches, so long as you come in when it gets dark. You can always finish the game tomorrow".

Soccerball.  Partly because the high quality players manage to make 90 minutes seem like an eternity, and partly because there is an assumption that because I appear to be a white lower middle class male that I'm obsessively interested it the game.

I remember once when Channel 4, having lost the rights to the NFL, decided to try us with Kabaddi.



What the fuck?!

Football. Can’t stand it and yet most of the country seem way too obsessed by it.
