They are bigger than you!

Golf
Ice Skating
Those are the most boring of all. There are a lot others I don't care for, but those two bit me rigid

Dear boy I must ask are you some kind of Heathen?
I like all those sports, more of a fan of the Big Daddy/Giant Haystacks wrestling than this theatrical WWF though.

I'd go for Fishing (again is it a sport or pastime?)
Tennis
American Football

Sorry omg but I draw the line at cricket
It’s so boring
I even fell asleep at a 20/20 with my old dad

Been to a few 20/20 games in the past and don't mind them , i wouldn't go to a county game or test match if the tickets were free ☹

Show jumping
Motor Racing

Cross-country skiing.

We are supposed to like it over here, but I hate it.

We used to have to do cross country running at school i detested it

I ended up doing that in Austria .
One of our group had an ear problem & was advised by a dr to stay off high peaks .
The place we stayed had cross country tracks out the back, so we hired some skis for a day or 2.

It looks brilliant on the telly , but stone me , I'll never do that again, my legs n the pain !!
Anyone gets told to stay off the mountain now , F*ck em they'll have to deal with it on there own

I do miss synchronised swimming...

I'm a traditionalist Ron, love the Test matches, try to get to at least 1 or 2 days over the summer. Not a fan of 20-20 though. I grew up in the days of the JPL Sunday League. 40 overs each on a Sunday afternoon. Had some great days as a kid with my mates at Valentine Park. Shame Essex don't travel around the county anymore to play

Can't see why the Americans get so excited over some of their sports.
North American football (Gridiron)- game doesn't flow, seems to be a stoppage every few seconds.
Baseball - Pitcher dominated with batter missing most balls.
Basketball - Game ruined by giants. Why not have height categories?

Tennis
Darts
Snooker
Formula 1

American Football. Slow, repetitive, too many breaks.
Pointless.

If I weren't married I would watch baseball (the whole 9 innings) test match cricket (the whole 5 days) snooker and F1 as well as football - EFL and national league (not bothered about the Premiership).

I'm surprised you didn't go for
Ang-Ling
Cur-Ling

Hur-Ling

You seem to dislike everything else with a Ling involved

Cricket and golf

I miss archery.

Which is why I gave it up.

Think this season may break the homerun record.

Basketball. Nothing interesting about a sport where teams score with almost every attack and where the size of the hoops hasn't been increased even though players are taller than ever (though I get that small players like Mugsy Bogues have still thrived).

F1 pointless.
Basketball - just boring
American football - so many stops not entertaining
Ice skating-down to judges opinion and boring.
Darts I like but isn't a sport
