What sport interests you?

I did a bit of surfing in my younger days, so I enjoy going to the coast & watching the surfers & windsurfers. I also enjoy watching tennis, cycling, a bit of golf on the TV & maybe F1 this year.

Basketball, which is an arse to follow in this country.

Cricket. Okay, the sport is the dullest thing to watch since golf (sorry FF, but it's true), but I could pore over test stats. for ages.

Tennis. I was actually yelling at the TV during Wimbledon/Olympics, which I never ever do normally.

Also, a little bit of Scottish football, not that our leagues are much to write home about.

The main one is Football, but I also enjoy boxing & UFC.

Football and F1. Newcastle united fan and I think Raikkonen is my favorite driver.

I like to play Basketball, i just cant sit down and watch it. Even though Newcastle have one of the best teams in England.

I used to enjoy playing Croquet, I've never enjoyed watching any sports.

Football, and athletics. And then, pretty much anything that features during the Olympics / Paralympics when they're on.
Except for sports that are on TV the rest of the time, e.g. Olympic football, tennis, and GOLF now.

I can more or less watch any sport, with the notable exception of American Football, which is for fannies.

Football is the big one, probably followed by tennis (I cried whilst watching some of the Olympic tennis), but I will watch anything with the exception of golf. At least some of the pictures are you trying to follow a small white thing against a white background.

Football is the main sport and will watch english, spl. la liga, ii also watch german highlights but also watch american football,. It depends on whos/wheres on if i watch things like tennis, rugby, golf, darts, F1, nascar etc so all sports relly aprt from criket or baseball

@phiilps american football is a great sport and very tactical @balla you might like that bit of it.

So I've been told. Baseball too, apparently. Have to get over my xenophobia first though.

I forgot to mention NFL. I love watching that.

I just love watching sports! I'm too competitive that's why I think.
Mostly Football though, huge Chelsea fan, frequently go and watch the games too.

In the words of the great Jimmy Grimble "Football, football, football". In the words of the great Daniel Murphy "also Tennis, F1 and the ocassional bit of golf".

I am probably in competition with Balladeer for who cares less about sport. I watch absolutelly ZERO sport. I attend sport only with work (a couple of times a year), purely for social reason and they have paid for it. I just find it exceedingly dull. Maybe it is because I don't drink alcohol, as clearly alcohol makes everything better, including sport and unattractive women

I loved sport as a kid. I was in fact good at sport, including being the captain of the school Australian Rules Football team. I was also good at tennis, cricket and athletics. So it wasn't like a was a nerd at school. I just changed by the time I hit University. My tastes changed and the love of arts, science and history took over. I also got into a relationship at 17 (married at 20) with a lady who utterly despised sport.

Our home is a sports free zone and both our daughters share a similar disinterest in sport. That went so far as us giving them a permanent note for the school, that excused them from PE. They just sat and read books instead and participated only if it interested them. Suffice to say, they failed PE every year - whoopee, it isn't a real subject

Beach volleyball. With ladies.

You watch beach volleyball that's played by ladies or you watch it with ladies present?

No no no. Every time I see anything about it, my inner (well, not very) feminist starts to scream, only to be placated when the regulation costume becomes more sensible... or when the costume for men becomes Speedos. :affraid:

I watched all of the female Olympic volleyball matches & zero of the male matches. I'm a disgrace.

*insert multiple smilies*

I do watch men's cycling though. Does that balance things out?

Okay, I'm digging myself deeper, here.

Make any mention of sport and watch my eyes glaze of instantaneously. I've always been the same.

I did, however, love playing tennis, badminton and basketball when I was a schoolkid. And I always loved playing crown green bowling with my grandad (he had a proper set of bowls that belonged to my great grandma, and a big enough garden to play it on). Ah, memories.

I did get quite into the Olympics this last time, though. Watching everyone get pwned at cycling by Bradley Wiggins was a particular highlight. Watching Tom Daley get pwned at diving (Bronze? Get lost!) was another highlight.

Anyone interested in the rugby?
