Rugby League. Only sport that has made me cry (as a spectator).

Simon · 23-10-2006, 05:48 PM

From the list, handball. Could at least have had the decency to list "winter sports", tho (for the one Northern vote).

Opinion on the listed sports:

Basketball: struggle to see the defensive skills involved

I don't know how it's played in other countries, but in the NBA or even in College and High School level of the game in the US, defense is as important as offense, and if you seriously think that defensive skills arent involved and how much defense you have to play, you probably haven't played it a lot with people that are good. No offence

But anyway, its Basketball for me...love it as much as Cricket

Mister Wright · 23-10-2006, 10:30 PM

I voted for basketball. It is the sport I have 2nd most fun playing, but I'd prefer to watch a rugby league game.

Blewy · 24-10-2006, 12:18 AM

My Favourite sport is Horse Racing....

Closely followed by, Football, Rugby League and Baseball

chaminda_00 · 24-10-2006, 12:35 AM

Football, with Handball a close 2nd, got no idea why i like Handball, maybe something to do with Norway Women's National team...

Cloete · 24-10-2006, 12:47 AM

Football

GIMH · 24-10-2006, 12:56 AM

Football for me. Can't believe I omitted F1

FaaipDeOiad · 24-10-2006, 01:17 AM

After cricket, it's AFL, then football/soccer for me.

Aside from those, I also like and occasionally watch boxing, union, cycling, snooker and tennis. Mostly only if there's a major event on, though. I get the feeling if I was American I'd like baseball, but I've never been able to get into it much over here.

My least favourites on the list are rugby league and golf, though motor sports would top the list if it was there.
