Most Overrated Sport
 

I gotta say baseball is the most grossly over rated sport. The world series is worth watching but seriously, do we need 162 regular season games? At least in the playoffs every pitch means something. Baseball isnt' really much of a team game. It's a guy throwing a ball and a guy hitting it back, and a bunch of other guys trying to catch the ball. Where's the teamwork?

I'd also say, since it's on ESPN, bowling and the spelling bee are terrible sports. They're not even sports. Same goes with Texas Holdem. I am interested in what you guys think are over rated sports.

I used to feel that way about baseball but I have been appreciating it a lot more recently cause I have been watching it all the time.

It definitely comes nowhere near football in terms of awesomeness, but it's sexy in its own way.

(American) football, but I still love it

lol, how does baseball have no teamwork?

Defense is all about teamwork. You couldn't throw a guy out at the plate from right field if there was no right fielder, catcher or maybe cut off man, could you? That would be teamwork right?

You couldn't hit and run if there was no hitter and runner on base, could you? Teamwork?

The pitcher and catcher work together through the entire game.

Come on

no teamwork? Thats nearly as ludicrous when someone i know said it was a game without tactics!

Anyway, Ice Hockey, its fun to watch the fights, but seriously i spend all the game like WHERE DA PUCK BRU?!

NBA basketball

90% of the time its tough to watch.

NBA all star games however are about as fun to watch as sports get

Ya NBA is the most overrated. It also has the most players with no heart than any other major sport as far as Im concerned

Gonna go with the NBA.

Yeah. I'm seriously sick of this fad. It's fun to play, but I don't need it taking up two hours of ESPN, two more hours of ESPN2, and two more hours on FOX Sports per day that could be devoted to things that require actual physical exertion.

basketball

Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous to say there's no teamwork in Baseball. The guys on base can get 4 guys out in one play, which could ultimately (and most probably) decide a game. It's all about quick thinking, timing, skill and communication.

I would say basketball, but nobody really overrates it.

Football I'd probably go with but that's probably just because I enjoy baseball more.

Hockey

SOCCER

I would have to go with NBA basketball. It gets so much coverage, but the games are about 1/4 as intense as college games. Like Icon said, there is no heart anymore.

As for baseball, I wouldn't say it is overrated at all, because I don't rate it highly, if that makes sense. Baseball, to me, is like a constant of the summer. I mean I go to maybe five games per summer, but it is always there and it is so easy to follow. The reason I mean it's not overrated, it's not hyped up as much as other sports. You go to a baseball game and it is a casual night, you go to any other sport and it takes your whole night. So basically, I think baseball is big because it is always there when you want something to do, it is incredibly easy to follow without spending your life reading about it, and basically just because it is a pasttime.

I don't really get your points about baseball BCWWF, but I do agree I don't personally hype baseball up so I don't really think its overrated.

I love football personally, every game counts so much because there is only a 16 game season. Much more intense for me.

I don't really think sports can be overrated, some people will like it while others won't you know, so if someone doesn't think too highly of the NBA from square one, how can it be overrated?

100m Sprint.

Seriously, who gives a fuck who is the fastest person by foot, here in the 21st century. If you found out that 40km away was a suitcase with $100 million in it, who do you reckon will get there first - Linford Christie or Michael Schumacher?

Gotta say ice hockey.

People only ever watch it for the fights, and I can like never see the puck ever.

That makes hockey under-rated because of the fights, you fuckhead. :roll: :roll:

Soccer

Good to play shite to watch

Footy has better foights anyway, you dickhead.

I just mean that I don't think baseball is overrated at all because it isn't shoved in your face like the NFL is. A baseball game doesn't dictate what you do all day, it is just there. There are a lot of shows on it, but if you miss a game or a Baseball Tonight, you don't really miss much. I just look at baseball more as a constant of life rather than a big, overhyped sporting event.

gonna go against the grain here and say FUTBOL

going with the NBA

Baseball...I'd rather play than watch.

Baseball

Personally, I can't watch a baseball game for more than 3 minutes before I channel it. Plus, baseball is viewed as this immaculate sport that is godly...Fuck off.

AFL and American sports

How many fucking times have these 'overrated' and 'underrated' threads have been done? They all end up with everyone fighting especially me and Y2C, and this thread will end the same way. AFL is overrated because they think they are the world's greatest sport when nobody else gives a fuck about them, even though they are thinking of expanding.

Its really not that hard

Hockey is the most underrated as it is the best fucking sport in the world. Has all the great things about every other sport, but none of the shit.

It's a fucking mans game too.

Overrated? Soccer. It's fun to play for a bit, but it's not very passionate or very high octane..ya know..moves rather slowly. And for the simple fact pretty much the whole world loves it, that makes it overrated.

gonna have to go with Baseball here.

That is one of the most incorrect things I have read, anywhere, ever.

Also, hockey doesn't have "none of the shit". The whole "where the fuck is the puck?" thing is hard to avoid.

Ok seriously seriously wrong here!

How is this even an argument? It's clearly auto racing. Nascar, F1, LeMans, all of it is soooooooo boring.

Lol, not very passionate. Try going to Anfield or the San Siro on a Champions League night buddy.

It was a nice troll, Zen.

But troll or not, still one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this forum.

How can you not follow the puck on TV? The camera is always following hte puck

Baseball by a mile.

Wog arse-fucking is the the most over-rated sport ever.

& people who like Australian football like it because it's the most exciting sport in the world - not because of what poofters from other countries think, so therefore only a retard who has no idea on what the word "over-rated" means can call it over-rated.
