who gives a fuck about the olympics

Being as its the second most watched sporting event in the world I'd say quite a few.

You into any sports other than football or boxing?

Plenty of good sports out there, why limit yourself.

Eric is right we do not care until 2016.

The fucking Germans are going to win this.

German medal numbers are vastly inflated by the East German athletic programme which systematically doped all their athletes with everything known to man. The East German womens athletic team all looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger's big brother.

Lets hope Messi and Mascherano can do something about it on Sunday.

Everything! Live sport beats the crap out of any other TV.

Personally I love Boxing, Football, Rugby, Formula One. And am into Tennis, Cricket, Athletics, Cycling as well. Proper sports nerd.
For me a good game of Rugby is one of the best things to watch. It just takes a while to fully understand. Plus a bad game of rugby is one of the worst things to watch!
To be fair though, I think (like a lot of people here) nothing beats a big fight feel when you are really on one side. I guess part of it is because the end can come at any time. Most sports have a prescribed timeframe with a definitive end point, either in terms of time, or number of games won. Boxing has that but with one big provisio - the end can come at any time.

I think if you are into Football and Boxing there is no reason that you wouldn't really enjoy rugby (you may be a rugby fan so excuse my assumption). But a big part of enjoyment is fully understanding, not just the rules, but the context of the game, the characters involved, what is at stake, what is expected and what is unexpected.
That's what we all get with football in England, whether we seek it out or not.

I do watch the odd game of rugby union, I watch the world cup usually when its on, England games mainly


I struggle with rugby league tho, I have tried, which might be a bad thing to say being an northern lad and my home town having a team in the super league, but I just don't find it entertaining


when I was a student I watched a reasonable amount of cricket, I remember staying up several nights on the run for an England New Zealand test.


and if athletics is on and im sat there ill watch it


I don't watch anything on tv other than sport (and the odd film)


but nothing even comes close to the buzz I get from watching football and boxing

Yeah I'm the same with Rugby League. Too repetitive.


No that's fair enough then, you obviously give other sports a go, and you like best what you like best. I'm just glad I get right into quite a few sports, gives some meaning to my life!
