Name sports you cannot bear to watch

[Howe_zat]

Individual sports in general

The fact that golf only becomes interesting when they play the Ryder Cup is all the evidence that you need

 

[Ausage]

Plenty of good solid reasons to watch netball tbh.

 

[Uppercut]

There are a lot of sports I find boring, but I've developed a really strong dislike for Formula 1. It's loud, cluttered, and aesthetically hideous.

Boxing - was quite a fan until the Chris Eubank/Michael Watson fight in 1991 - have never watched a professional bout since

 

[wrongun]

Professional Wrestling - cannot for the life of me understand how grown adults can watch that scripted **** (probably doesn't qualify as a sport TBF)
Boxing, MMA etc. - any sport where the objective is to hit your opponent
Cycling, Long Distance running, Formula 1 - zzz

Yea many older Indians wonder that about the younger cricketing audience these days too

Curling

the same way grown adults obsess over reality t.v...

 

[andruid]

Can't get my head round MMA. Too rough and tumble for my liking.

 

[Burgey]

Rugby when Australia is playing.
NFL - never been taught the nuances and cbf learning
Baseball - cricket for ADHD sufferers
Formula One - how something so fast paced can at the same time be so tedious is one of life’s quandaries. And also the only interesting thing about the sport.

vcs looking for Daemon’s Gandhi title here, with the non-violent approach

Cycling, ruined by doping
Nadal a doper
European football, full of dopers
AFL, the handing of the Essendon doping saga was a disgrace, I was already going off it but that ended it for me
Athletics, full of dopers

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Every sport is full of it. To think otherwise is just plain naive.

You are right, but those are ones I would like to watch but don't because of doping. I follow the A-league, I doubt doping is a prevalent in it than the top 5 leagues in Europe, but there probably is some.

Anyway, most motorsports are pretty **** to watch, and I don't really care for most "American" sports. Even something like basketball I don't really like. Combat sports (boxing/MMA/etc) are fairly turd too. Horse and dog racing are barbaric.

Now I think about it it's probably easier to list the sports I like rather than the sports I dislike.

i like combat sports when they're on and i like the idea of them, but their fanbase leaves a lot to be desired. it seems to bring out the worst of the "if it was me i'd do this and this because in a fight you should be like that and that" types. then there was the flatmate i had who played combat sports with a computer desktop background telling himself he was a shark.

cringeworthy tbh.

Horsing racing would be good if it was not all about gambling.

If you don't like motorsports then try watching moto3 is great. It is just crazy racing.

I was once watching an American Football match on the telly while waiting for food at a local club. Literally could not tell when it ended, there was so much down time.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Used to think that way about American Football (and Baseball, as evidenced by my posts earlier in this thread) but I got sucked in by fantasy sports. Now I watch both religiously. Funny how much your tastes change over the space on ten years. Can barely stomach a game of Rugby League these days.

New Zealand beat England in the Netball semi final and will play Australia in the Final.
