Thread: Whats the most boring sport on TV?

Rather take a sharp stick in the eye than have to watch baseball or basketball and I live in the US, makes life pretty lonely at times

Pre war the Trap shooting was with real live pigeons ! That was probaly more fun !!!

Of course a 'kill' gets top marks

This makes it a lot more iteresting.

Rugby's great to watch -- which explains why it wasn't on my list.
Soccer is a fucking joke.

Fans say you have to understand the game... it's a bit like chess, they say. Yes, and just like chess it's not a great spectator sport, I say. When I was a youngster one of my favourite computer games was '4th & inches' I loved the strategy behind the plays, the setting of defenses and offenses and subbing on the best players to make the plays work. At the weekends I watched the Gridiron highlights packages. Then for the first time ever the super bowl was gonna be shown live on telly for the first time. Brilliant I thought and sat down and waited as the commentators waded through loads of stats and then finally the game started... First play, incomplete.... Wait five minutes till they got themselves together for the next go... What a load of bollocks. I turned off the tv and went outside to play cricket.


A new sport I've just discovered... watching the Olympics highlights with the sound turned off whilst inebriated and making your own commentary. At least myself and a mate found it quite amusing at the pub last night.
