I guess most of us on this board consider ourselves hardy sports fans, but everyone seems to have a sport that they just can't quite get that excited about.

Which sport do you like the least, or just plain dislike, or whatever?

Tell us why.

Golf, Hockey, and Soccer...Boring, or maybe i just dont get the idea of them? But i know of a few that just dont get Football, friends elderly mother asked why we was being so loud'....He replied the game's on, all we could hear as she walked into another room was her saying to herself " damn football' i dont see why a bunch of grown men fight over a ball"

Easy. NASCAR.

If you can even consider that a sport. Bunch of rednecks watching a marketing circus turn left all day. How exciting.

I like NASCAR, but sadly that is an accurate description a lot of times.

I get bored with baseball and the NBA.

Baseball - I'm way too impatient to sit and watch a pitcher adjust his hat, shirt and other things, go through his routine, spit, check the runners on base, nod yes or no to the catcher and get ready to make his pitch only to see the batter (who did his routine also) call time so they both can start all over and do it all again....

NBA- Where is the challenge? Most can dunk a ball without even jumping much, the 3 point lines are way too close to the goal and the court is too small. Raise the goal, lengthen the court and move the 3 point line back.....and I might watch. Maybe....

Racing in general, not just NASCAR.

Soccer really bores me, as does tennis at times.

I don't watch much gold, either, but when I do, it is usually the back nine of the final round, so I can't say that it bores me that much.

NBA basketball. It's PA-THETIC!

I hate soccer. Around here it's what the rich kids play instead of football or basketball.

And I hate na$car, but I love stock car racing.

I'll chime in:

First off, I have trouble giving any sport trouble if it's a grueling as Soccer or Hoops. You may not enjoy or understand them (which is usually WHY people don't enjoy them), but they are true "sports," and that's tough to argue with. Having played both, in some sort or another, they are both very difficult, extremely physically demanding, and exciting. Hockey falls into that category as well (you should see me try to skate).

My philosophy of why people don't like Soccer or Hockey is that we are very much an "instant-gratification" culture. Not enough scoring for most people to watch. We want it quick and we want a lot of it -- that goes for just about anything in our society.

Golf is probably the hardest of all to play. Any schmoe can walk out front and throw a football straight, or hit a layup, or catch a baseball. But to hit a driver 250-300 yards and not break the window of an unfortunate bastard that can afford a house on the course is downright tough. Not to mention sand shots, chipping, controlling the spin off your irons. . . . .and then you have to putt. Plus, you have drama, competition down the stretch with VERY recognizable atheletes, and now Tiger even has a blonde hottie. Good sport. 'Nuff said.

Baseball -- America's pasttime, but understandable if people don't want to sit and watch for hours. MUCH MUCH better in person than on TV. And great to nap to -- just wake up about the 8th inning.

Not a big fan of Nascar -- seems like a different category to me. "Sport" to me involves the physical body, not so much machines. Please don't hurl bricks with pretty painted number 3's and 8's at me.

********

I'm going out on a limb and say that ESPN's coverage of the SPELLING BEE takes the cake here. I used to be a little nerdy and all, but this crap belongs on Lifetime.

I'm gonna go with Track and Field on this one. I know they are truly talented athletes, but I simply cannot bear to sit and watch this sport. You sit and wait for the race to start forever it seems. Then they run the race and I'm thinking "is that all...all this time for this?" Like I said, talented people, but this sport just isn't for me.


By the way... Sport on the upswing with me, Lacrosse! Alot of action and plenty of scoring. Don't know how I never noticed this sport sooner.
