American football = so boring.
Golf and soccer = terrible to watch.

This is pretty interesting. Lots of different views.

I like soccer. I used to play it A LOT.
Tennis is boring unless there are 2 good looking women playing, then I will watch :naughty:

Re: What sports do you hate the most?
 

I don't like to 'watch' ANY sport. I get just about as much satisfaction from that as I do watching somebody else play video games. If you're going to be 'into' sport, I say, just go out there and actually do it yourself. Otherwise there's no point. It always makes me laugh when someone with a belly so large it has a gravity well that rivals that of Jupiter says they are a 'sports fan'. Heh. I honestly have no idea how an activity originally designed for everybody to play for FUN turned into some kind of spectator-fest. Watching other people play games has become a multi-billion dollar commercial industry! WTF?!

I used to like playing a plot of sports, but I haven't really done any of them for a couple of years now, aside from tennis once in a while.

Uhh, Matt not everyone is suited to say go out and play Football with a bunch of professional athletes that can smash you in a million pieces.

Most of us couldn't survive a full game of basketball against the pros without having your heart give out.
I've played a lot of sports myself and I still love to watch other people who are amazing at what they do play them.

If you truly do not understand why people are sports fans that love to watch their fav sport then you are stranger than I even imagined.
:moon:

Re: What sports do you hate the most?
 

Yeah, Matt. Spectator sports goes back to anceint Rome, and further, as well as many cultures--hell, even the Inka had brutal sports.

It's just plain fun to watch others inflict massive amounts of pain onto each other.

Oh, and well, what Beef said about the talent and all that...
Yeah.

Re: What sports do you hate the most?
 

Yes. That's exactly what I said. We should all play with the professional athletes!

No. :rolleyes:

The whole idea that you can have 'professional' game players is just a testament to the stupid society we live in. So what if people are amazing at a game? It's not like they're doing anything particularly important, certainly nothing important enough to earn them millions and millions of pounds per year. The worst part of it is, I doubt how many 'professional' sportsmen are actually having fun, which is what the bloody games were originally designed for. And if this is 'strange', so be it. I won't even begin to try and put what I think of 'normal' people into non-offensive terms. I'll just laugh at the sad people who literally devote their lives to their favourite sports team, and who actually break the law in anger if their favourite sports team loses.

If more people played these games instead of watching them, the world would be a healthier, happier place.

As I recall, a lot of Roman 'sport' often had a practical purpose. And even then people didn't take it as seriously as they do now. People actually live their lives based around OTHER PEOPLE PLAYING GAMES. It's fucking ridiculous.

Golf is fun to play, crap to watch. American football is for pussys, with all that padding. Real men play rugby :nodding:

Re: What sports do you hate the most?
 

I used to hate playing Rugby at school, especially as we'd play during the winter months, wearing little more than a pair of shorts and a rugby top. The prospect of falling into a large pool of ice cold mud, or onto rock hard soil, was more than enough to put me off it, let alone the indignity of having to shower, naked, in front of all your classmates. Not a nice experience for a thirteen year-old. Despite that i quite like to watch rugby though.

I'm more a fan of Motorsport, though nothing of the two-wheeled kind, or those that involve racing around an oval, which i find rather tedious.

Re: What sports do you hate the most?
 

and how many people are crippled or die each year playing rugby?

football(US) is great to play and watch, big men made even bigger by helmets and shoulder pads hitting each other to move a football 100 yards. I don't see how it is boring.

Auto racing is kinda boring, but crashes liven it uphttp://forums.filefront.com/images/smilies/smilie.gif.

Re: What sports do you hate the most?
 

Playing it sucks, but watching it is the worst thing in the world for me. Stop and go, stop and go, over and over, and the plays last an average of four seconds. BORING.
