Ever seen jai-alai? It's kind of like doubles tennis (although it can be played with 8 player teams and not just 2) but the ball is slung back and forth instead of smacked. Very interesting.Quote:

Motor sports are usually the least boring, because one can be hopeful for a race halting crash... Belgium in 1998, the biggest crash I've ever seen in Fomula One history when almost a third of the drivers couldn't race due to there not being enough backup cars to continue the race (F1 teams always have one backup) after a huge crash not far from the starting grid delayed the race around 40-50 minutes which it then continued in full for the near 2 hours (44 laps) in which only 8 drivers finished the race. :cool:
Are you kidding me? Nascar is probably the least interesting sport there is. What's fun about watching cars go around a circular track? Snore...
Football. My whole family loves it, I don't :(
NASCAR is boring after a few laps, unless there are big crashes which halts the race completely... One reason why I only ever watch the race highlights (when I remember).Quote:

Cricket Yes It's Cricket

rugby (6 nations, or world cup) and/or GAA are the best ball sports
Any sport can be boring depending on the match really.
f1 races are sometimes good but mostly boring, only until the last few matches were the stakes are high does it matter.
Cricket, i do like test cricket but other than that it's crap.
I love American football, because of the tackles mainly. Not a big fan of basketball/baseball though. Love Rugby :) (hey, i'm Welsh, what can you expect? ;) )
Watching sports is boring period.. I like to play sports, not watch them. :p
But golf and football are at the top of my list for the most boring to watch, at least for me.
it really does depend whether youre playing or watching them
you know a sport sux if you'd rather watch than play.
if i chose watching itd be b/c id rather sleep;)
as far as watching goes id probably have to say american football is great b/c they zoom in and replay all the things that hurt worst like 3 times each. thats just great
now if i had to watch golf, cricket, nascar, or anything else like that id probably just curl up on the spot and begin hibernation.
dont get me wrong golf is fun to play
and im such a speedbug and crashfan that id particpate in racing event just to try and bumpdraft people to cause crashes:)
cricket just sux; it can eat me
btw to whoever was talking about making tennis violent thank u for the wonderful images but i belive that would be similar to lacrosse
each player wears a hook-shaped chute on their arm for catching and firing the ball
best sport ever would probably be paintball though(to play of course)
