Most Boring Sport?

[D Mac]

For me, i'd have to go with NASCAR. (if that is considered a sport.) I mean, i'd rather watch a round of golf then watch cars make multiple left turns all day.

[toxic rooster]

I'd say basketball.

Or as my brother calls it, basket TERRIBLE

[Nervous Ferret]

soccer

I can't watch it. at all. It can be alright to play sometimes th0

[darkpower]

Golf WAS boring, until Tiger Woods made it cool to watch it again.

But I don't know if I could say which sport is boring. More like, what sport do I think is getting more hype than it deserves...which brings me to this craze for Texas Hold-Em Poker championships. Since when did anyone care about any of these things. I mean, I'm caught being curious from time to time, but I don't get why ESPN is carrying poker games now. What is the big deal?

[Requiem]

Anything is amazing if you like it. Personally, I hate baseball.

I also hate golf... but, I LOVE watching the Texas Hold'em tourneys on TV.

[D Mac]

About golf, yeah it may be boring on tv. But try playing it. Trust me, it's very addictive. :y:

[weather vane]

NASCAR

[Downunder]

Baseball - closely followed by gridiron

[yianni]

ahahaha where's Y2C? Come on you cunt this topic is set up nicely for you to spill your guts

For me the worst sport is gridiron. Wtf is going on there. :|

[toxic rooster]

Oh come on. How is a sport more boring than basketball possible. YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT YOU CUNTS

[yianni]

In my opinion the most boring sport ever has to be one which is both boring to play and boring to watch

Basketball is shit to watch but fun to play. Gridiron is just fucking shit all round.

[Paranoid Rattlesnake]

Rugby Union

[The Mackem]

That speed cycling stuff mainly because I just don't understand it.

[Bad Company]

Rugby Union
yeah right.

Probably mens tennis.

[Paranoid Rattlesnake]

yeah right.

Probably mens tennis.

Honestly Rugby Union is well boring, Well compaired to Rugby League it is

[Downunder]

Honestly Rugby Union is well boring, Well compaired to Rugby League it is

:nono:

[toxic rooster]

Basketball is shit to watch but fun to play.

No it's not, all you do is run around getting elbowed by black people.

[The Gooch]

For me it has to be Men's Tennis and Volleyball. The ball travels too fast so there are no rallies. Women may be inferior athletes in these sports, but I'd rather watch a women's match any day as opposed to the men. The only time men's tennis is good is at Wimbleton where the grass slows down the ball.

Regular season major league baseball bores me. I think it has more to do with the fact that the schedule of 162 games makes games meaningless. Playoff baseball is great.

Golf is only boring if you've never played the sport. When you play a few rounds you'll come to appreciate how talented these guys are. Same goes for curling.

[YOUR Hero]

Nascar is a good pick. Never been a fan of motorcar races. Soccer too for me, although I've seen some really great games. Like Mackem said, it helps to fully understand them.

[toxic rooster]

Ice hockey is ridiculously hard to follow cos you can never see where the puck is

[Gertner]

NASCAR isn't a sport.


anywho, most boring sport to watch is Tennis.

[Cool King]

American Football and Baseball.

[Team Sheep]

I've really gone off soccer lately, compared to football it's so damn boring. Football is now my favourite sport to watch, followed by Rugby Union.

[Blitz]

(American) Football, hands down.

[Skippord]

baseball,soccer,and NASCAR

[D Mac]

LOL at the Americans saying soccer and the Aussies/Others saying American football/gridiron. :D

[Skippord]

Seriously though Baseball Mostly cause the Rockies suck horribly

[punt]

Checkers

[Skippord]

Scrabble

[punt]

No, I broke a sweat during a scrabble game once - it's Checkers

[Joey Slugs]

i love to play it, but golf is so boring to watch sometimes (outside of the majors and the ryder cup)

[MVP]

NASCAR and tennis

[Gonzo]

LOL at the Americans saying soccer and the Aussies/Others saying American football/gridiron. :D

This thread is just a set up for the age old argument, American sports vs. the rest of the World. :roll:

Yadda yadda the world says American football and Americans say soccer. Thread settled.

That is because you're a bitch.

[Cool King]

Here's another one.

Cricket.

[LK]

Here's another one.

Cricket.
You take that back boy!

But American Football and Baseball are both dull as fuck.

[Cool King]

But Cricket is boring.

It has stupid rules and only about 4 countries play the damn thing. And the biggest thing (I've heard of) in Cricket is The Ashes. Who the hell would wanna win something the size of your pinkie fingrer full of ash?

But I'm happy you agree with me on the other two sports.:)

[Gonzo]

This thread really is pointless.

[Y3J]

This thread really is pointless.

Yeah i agree, that is such a boring sport.

[toxic rooster]

I'm just letting you know that you're full of shit, Cool King!

[Nervous Ferret]

ya dum thrread. Us Americans worship how you say "gridiron" like it is the second coming of christ, and we all just collectively don't care about soccer. For you Eastern Hemispherians, it is a 180. This will never change.

[toxic rooster]

Well, I like baseball.

And soccer.

And cricket.

which puts me somewhere in the middle

[Gonzo]

Baseball a basketball are fine to play, boring to watch. I love football, absolutely love it. Hockey, eh, I can watch the playoffs if the Devils are in it, then I'm mildy interested. Anything else I find dull.

What NerF said is 100% true though.

[Loose Cannon]

Fencing, Bowling, Darts, The Outdoor Games, Sumo, Spelling Bee

[Loose Cannon]

god, what is ESPN thinking sometimes?

[toxic rooster]

I like poker, but it's no sport.

[Zen v.W.o.]

Out of the sports I mostly get to see up here, it's baseball. Too slow. Basketball sucks too, you cant touch anyone for fear of a foul.

Curling is boring, but you can drink a beer while playing it.

I never see many euro sports and stuff, but if Cricket is anything like baseball then that wouldnt be fun.

Soccer can get boring when they keep going backwards and heading the damn thing. Move forward damnit and take shots on net!!

[toxic rooster]

That's how you play soccer though. Just pick the easiest man to play it to, play it to them and give them an option. Occasionally do something flashy or tricky, but the important thing is keeping the ball.

Cricket is great.

[Joe Blow]

Hockey. Unless a fight breaks out.

[D Mac]

ya dum thrread. Us Americans worship how you say "gridiron" like it is the second coming of christ, and we all just collectively don't care about soccer. For you Eastern Hemispherians, it is a 180. This will never change.

Well this dum thread seems to be quite the conversation now does'nt it? :p

[The Gooch]

The only sport not mentioned is dodgeball. We all know this is the only true sport.

BTW I am soooooo pissed right now I should really be in bed.

[CNM]

soccer and NASCAR

[CNM]

Oh and tennis

[D Mac]

I like poker, but it's no sport.

They're still trying to get it in the olympics. :o

[toxic rooster]

The olympics mean nothing. Figure skating is not a sport. Gymnastics is not a sport.

[D Mac]

Cool then put it in. :y:

[toxic rooster]

Anything which is decided qualitatively and not quantitatively is not a sport.

[D Mac]

Oh and tennis

I respect tennis players as athletes. Yeah, it may be boring to watch, but you gotta be in shape to play as many sets as these guys do.

[The Mask]

i don't know if all american football is the same, but judging by the superbowl i'll have to say that. you get like 2 hours intro, they start, guy throws the ball, guy gets crocked, some stats come up on screen, go back to break, come back from break, more stats, game stats again, they throw the ball and everyone plows into each other and they move about 2-4 metres either way, stop, stats, break.

that and i find it quite difficult to actually see where the ball is when everyone is smashing into each other all across the field.

other nominations include golf, and cricket.

Well there's a little bit more to it then that but that's cool. ;)

[The Mask]

well yeah i know there is, but i can only sit through commercials for so long. even if it was the live angelina jolie dildo cam. that's how bad it is.

[Team Sheep]

But you need commercials to refresh yourself from the excitement from each drive. Especially if it's your team in the play-offs, it can be pretty hard going. ;)

[G-wrath]

Fishing. Worst sport EVER. Unless you're the one fishing. But to watch on T.V. it's so damn boring.

[Gonzo]

Regular games have better flow. The Superbowl has companies paying millions just to get a 30 second commercial spot. They have so many commercials its ridiculous. It really detracts from the game, in my opinion. The game is still usually fun to watch, but sometimes the ridiculous amount of commercials in the Superbowl can be a pain in the ass.

[Zen v.W.o.]

That's why the Grey Cup is better..it's not about corporations, it's about the game. Thus every game is always exciting.

I doubt you have ever watched a WNBA game

[D Mac]

Sure I have.

[Blitz]

Can you really call fishing a sport, though?

[G-wrath]

Well they show it a lot on the New England Sports Network. Dunno about ESPN.

[D Mac]

Yep, Fox Sports Network has fishing shows.
