Top 3 Most tedious sports.

Post by Exiled O »

Which sports do fellow boarders think are the most tedious and why ?
My top 3 would be:

1) Formula One. Quite enjoyed it as a kid in 70's when it seemed exciting. Stopped watching it regularly in the early 90's. It just doesn't seem that interesting or competitive anymore.
2) Golf. Lost track of what exactly has happened with the Saudi tour thing but would imagine the game has sold itself out like a syphilitic brass. Tedious as hell. As Jasper Carrot said "hours and hours of televised sky"
3) Basketball. It's popularity is mystifying. I've noticed a lot of games areas have basketball hoops which I find odd as nobody really cares about it other than the Yanks.

Love horse racing; show jumping does not register.

Do not get Formula One at all.

Rugby Union - especially scrums. What a waste of time just to get the ball back into play.

Formula 1 is not even a sport in my opinion

Golf, how very dare you😃 F1 definitely, who ever gets the best car wins, horse racing,any thing sitting on it can fiddle anything however I’ve had some sitting on me and often finished last🫢 squash,players just step in front of each other all the time.

If any of these sports were tedious they would not be popular. What you mean is, you don’t alike them
