Most boring sports on TV

[Gandalf]

In terms of general sports Tito has a good idea about me, but I only dislike them because I find them dull, that's all. I think so many sports are really quite boring to watch. It's probably interesting to do some, but to watch others doing them doesn't make much sense to me. I include things like golf, gymnastics, sailing etc. Most of the Olympics is mindnumbingly dull. It only comes to life with things like hockey, tennis, boxing, and track and field. The first hour and a half of a marathon is also really boring.

Some sports that I find really interesting seem to be unpopular to some. I can sit through five days of cricket at a canter. You can watch a delivery, read a paragraph, watch a delivery, put the kettle on between overs etc. You can get an awful lot done through watching a game of cricket.

Darts is the second highest watched sport on Sky Sports (obviously Football is no.1). It pisses over boxing.

It isn't as good as boxing, but I do enjoy darts. I don't see how anyone could call it boring. It is a very quick sport.

"What is boring to you?" is a complete nonsense anyway.

I couldn't care less whether or not people have an interest in what I like. I watch what I like. I read what I like. I do what I like. If someone tells me I watch a boring sport i'm not gonna stop watching it.

How mentally weak do you have to be?

Golf on tv irks the shit out of me, especially when it's raining a bit due to the umbrellas & the uncovered microphones so the audiance is left to hear the pit-pat of rain drops....I love a thunderstorm, but the sound of rain hitting an umbrella or a microphone is torturous especially when coupled with the whispers of those doing the play by play.

Can't sleep?.... Sheep aren't doing it for you?.... Try Golf.

Yeah, if it's on tv when you're trying to go under, just turn that shit on for background ambiance and it's lights out within minutes.

Seriously.... Why the fuk is that even considered a sport?

Fella's I'm not kidding.... Have you ever noticed that golf in the background sounds almost exactaly like the background soundtrack of Tom Hanks most excellent movie Cast Away.

Man, I LOVE that movie.... Golf, not so much... At all.

I've yet to meet anyone who has stopped watching a sport because others have told him it's boring. The day I do, I'll gently recommend professional help. Boring is a personal perception. Some people swear by golf... others find it boring. Same thing with just about any other sport. What's the big deal? It's all part of an exchange of ideas, where we get to know each other's likes and dislikes.
