Boring and Exciting Sports

[kev_off_the_tee]

There is a huge difference between watching and playing.

I love to watch boxing but have never taken part.
I've enjoyed playing cricket but can't stand watching it.

I love to watch and play football, I love everything about football but I wouldnt buy a season ticket when I can watch every match at the local social club, have a skinful then a takeaway if I feel like it and still be quids in.

I love to watch rugby but have only played a daft friendly with a bunch of the lads, nothing serious.
American Football.....probably better to play then watch but I still think they are a bunch of pansies compared to rugby players.
Fishing...I've gone fishing in the passed and it is a brilliant getaway from everything but I couldn't make a hobby of it before I hit 50 which is a very long time away.

There are many many more but these are the ones that stand out.

I love all sport and will watch anything and everything. I have played a lot of football, rugby and cricket all my life and I understand why people find cricket boring. However, if something doesn't interest you and you are not willing or don't have the inclination to learn to understand it, the obviously any sport or activity that fits into this category will be boring to you...

Can enjoy most sports but watching wise, squash and fishing are the most boring via TV. Not that much fun to participate in either

Apart from the golf I've done a fair bit of skiing in my time which I found exciting. Boring - surprised nobody has mentioned horse racing. Take away betting and how many would bother watching?

 

[Wayman]

I hate football. Nothing but a load of overpaid underworked retards kicking a piece of leather around..
Golf is really the only sport I follow. I can watch rugby union but detest league.

Totally agree with lump here

Anyone who listed Cricket should really be watching the end of the 5th test now. May be a dead rubber, but still fantastic.

And decided by a light meter. What a shame.

Made it exciting though. Not keen on the rule, but can't blame the umpires for following it.

 

[Dodger]

That proves why cricket is a joke sport. Bad light stops play. Dear me they've got bloody floodlights on an all.

Golfers play in near pitch black conditions yet these dweebs are away for a pint when it's no even dark for another hour.

Rugby union, just pathetic. Way too much time spent faffing around instead of getting on with it.

I love cricket but the end of play today has shown it up as a complete farce.

and don't pro golfers get taken off the course at the faintest whiff of a gentle breeze?

Nope.

Most exciting sport i ever played is hurling. No sport i played was boring to me, i would not play if i believed it was boring.

best spectator sport again IMO hurling--skill speed and physical intensity.
will watch most sports but i find baseball the most boring.

Kick & Clap :smirk:

What are the most boring and exciting sports you have played.

Rugby most boring sport played, just ahead of hockey. Football most exciting, just ahead of golf.

Interesting comment. I had to play certain sports at school, including football, cricket, cross country running, rugby, so no choice in the matter.
Loved the first two, and couldn't stand the last two. Played hockey once by choice, but never again.

Dressage must be near the top of boring sports to watch, along with round the world yacht racing.

Slime.
