What is it?
I love nearly every sport so not taking part.
Could only do 10, so state if yours is anything not listed.
Note that I have included the main American sports too as I am a cosmopolitan type.

Voted football but hate the diving and the players being overpaid pricks.
I like Tennis and Athletics.
I remember the 2012 Olympics when @Memphis had to have a go at me for ruining it with my stats and probability statistics.Quote:

Should take a snapshot of that since it'll probably last as long as a teenage boy having sex for the first time.
I love the F1, that would have to be my second fave after boxing, I do watch football but I fucking despise it as a sport these days, I only go down to watch the Villa because I have got a free season ticket.
F1 fan is it Batman? Let's talk. Love it. Went 15 years without missing a race until about 2010. Lost something for me now, but still love it.Quote:

Voted football (what we call soccer here). Watched MMA when Fedor was at the top of the sport ten years ago.
I used to like baseball and hockey, I followed both closely as a boy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. As an adult in the 1980s I attended a lot of hockey and baseball games in Detroit and Toronto.
I've never been a football (American) or basketball fan.
I don’t remember this? I remember the foolproof later stages tennis bet you have and I remember having a pretty decent hex on Leyton Hewitt during one major. Had the poor fucker beat within minutes of giving him my backing.Quote:

I think it was you with the Olympics. 'Had a go' is overstating it, it was all in good humour. It was just every time we'd win a gold or something I'd say 'but we were supposed to win gold in the double skulls so we are now 1.5 golds behind schedule'.
Snooker. I pretty much follow every single comp and love betting on it more than any other sport.
Also I'll give the Nags a shout because the Cheltenham festival is the greatest time of the year.
Snooker I like - find it meditative. I used to be a big Ebdon fan back in the day when he used to go mental ;D.Quote:

Peter Ebdon? The slowest and most boring player on the planet.
Bad boy of snooker with his pony tail and shouting 'come on!' at the end of frames. It used to appall my granddad which made it fun for me.Quote:

Even when he become the most boring thing you could watch on TV it used to amuse me how much it would wind everyone up, especially Ronnie.
If you said you enjoyed Higgins, White or Sullivan I would understand but you have to have a quirky taste to like Ebdon.Quote:

Even weirder when I was a ten year boy with Ebdon as a sporting hero. ;D
I was a Cliff Thorban fan after he got that 147 :)Quote:

Got rid of sky sports about 4 years ago now on the back of me starting to hate the professional footballers of today who didn’t seem to try for our country.
I now watch about 2 premier league games a year and don’t miss it at all. . Not seen even one champions league game since it went off itv.
I guess I just watch darts now for the big tournaments and snooker whilst o Sullivan is still in the tournament. Not really a fan of any of any other player.
I used to wa5ch everything....sigh.....
That is much weirder than wearing a dress ;) :-X ;DQuote:

I love all sports, played most of them, when I was a kid I was mad for footy like every kid ever. Now if it ain’t Italy or an Italian Side (preferably Napoli), I couldn’t give a fuck. Still class myself as a Leeds fan, so I might get more interested if they go up.
But when I went to senior school and started playing Rugby, that was it! It’s always been my Sport,but my big regret is that I would love to have gone into the ring for one fight. There is no individual sport anywhere that can compare mentally or physically.
I don't watch the Premiershite either. When I can afford to I will go and watch Plymouth a few times a year, (away is always fun even now as an old twat) and in the football league the real beating heart of football is still there, even when the quality can be all over the place. Never stopped watching England either but under Southgate no longer have to do so thru gritted teeth as a bunch of Divas play like they are entitled to be given decisions on a plate. Can't replace that rush when your home team or England score against the odds and run of play, and you and your mates are pissed up and all in it together. 30+ years of it and it's longer than a lot of marriages, and more ecstatic and devotional than many religions. ;DQuote:

El Kabong, Spicoli, Ryanman at least will all watch I would have thought? Rhun tooQuote:

Oh... and walrus. I'm assuming he'll watch too.
I think Ryanman is a bit of a sports whore nut
Walrus will only watch if Manny Pacquiao is playing.Quote:

Yep I will definitely watch. Have watched for the last 10 years or so. Far from an expert but it's a good sport. Gives plenty of time for drinking too which is good.

Double A baseball games and local 'stadiums' wherever you live. MLB is like watching a game in some aquarium. I'll watch mma as a default lately if there is no boxing on. Motocross on dirt track, billiards, Tennis, Brazilian beach volleyball..I'll watch it all.
It's weird with Soccer or 'footy' or whatever. Pro style soccer blew up on the West coast for a while and kept strong following.
