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

menamestom

There are 2 types of sport.  Ones I like, and ones I’d like if I watched more.   Sport is amazing.

Nunogilberto

Cricket, golf, NFL.

Oh, and F1. So much technology, so many rules, and with barely any overtaking, race order is largely decided by whoever spins off the track early on.

Get the bastards in Ford Focuses with not nearly as many driver aids and then we'll talk...

CHRISB50

Rugby
Winter sports apart from luge
Horse based sports
Greco / Freestyle wrestling
Tae Kwon Do
Motorsports

Enjoy playing most sports
 Hate watching other people playing them
 Something about the enthusiasm, tone and general vibe of Sports commentary ,especially soccer, really annoys me.

I'm 100% in agreement with the OP on American Football...... or nancy-boy rugby, as I like to call it.

Oh, and golf, I suppose you have to play it to enjoy it, I certainly can't watch it.

Gassage

Soccer. And I cannot abide the lack of sportsmanship by fans and players either. But as a spectacle, it's paint drying.

HAL9000

Any ‘sport’ done to music.
Any ‘sport’ where marks are awarded for artistic interpretation.

Neill

Ice Hockey.

A load of grown men dressed like when your mum used to send you out to play in the snow they skate around pretending to hit something and every so often some of them throw their hands up in the air.  Mind you they do have quite a lot of fights which is quite good.

big +1 for snooker, what a bore

Sadly, I have to agree. I used to be a massive F1 fan, but this season in particular has been distinguished by an almost total lack of overtaking. When will the governing bodies realise what everybody else already knows... More downforce = less racing. Remove the aerodynamics and put on skinnier tyres and let’s go racing.

Emp_Fab

Underwater clay pigeon shooting.

I knew cricket would appear here. I used to hate it, but the 2005 Ashes changed all that when someone explained to me how a Test Match works and the strategies and factors that need to be considered to win a test match.

It's the only sport I like now, but I only follow the England team and prefer Test matches to the shorter forms of the game.

Never liked football; "22 grown men chasing a bag of wind" as my Dad used to say.

all drivers in the same car is answer to snoremula 1

Rugby - large men in skin tight outfits with hot pants grabbing each other. 

Sassafras

Most team games apart from cricket and basketball.
Synchronised swimming, although I'm not even sure is qualifies as a sport by my understanding of the word. To my mind it's more like competitive ballet in water.
Horse dressage, gimme a break!

Dopesick

Golf - seriously, what is the fucking point?
Motor racing - yay hours and hours of loud noises and fast cars.

Also, if it was allowed to be counted as a sport - English football international friendlies. The absolute height of tediousness. I never pay attention these days but a friend told me they were playing Germany and Brazil in the space of a few days recently and I thought 'nah, there's no way they could balls this up'. Check the BBC site to see the scores on Tuesday and I just guffawed like a bitch. Two nil-nil draws. Really?

Cricket is the sport of kings.

rsvmark

Darts. A sport? 

Kilgore

Basketball.
Always ends with some score like 117 - 115.
Just give both teams 100 points to start and cut the game time to 5 minutes.

Any sport you can do with a beer in your hand between goes is not a sport

VimFuego

motor racing would be more fun if they shot the cars when they break down.
