    I like golf although don't play it myself. One of those things I know I'd be rubbish at so wouldn't bother spending a fortune to prove my theory. I love playing it on PC though and it's a nice, gentle relaxing sport to watch when hungover. If you appreciate the skill involved at the higher levels you'd probably enjoy it.

    Synchronised swimming seems pointless to me. Same goes for curling.

    Should have polled this. Another one for the cricket vote.

    I find it quite relaxing watching golf. I watch darts and football with the OH. And I love the ponies. Im a great bird to have, me. :pac:

    Definitely cricket. It goes on for way too long for me to even try to understand the rules.

    I'll watch pretty much anything else though. I just wont play!

    Have to go with Horse Racing. The fvckign horse dows all the work, the jocket gets all the credit and the only people who care are gamblers.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Another cricket vote. It takes up too much time on sky sports.

    Yeah, baseball scoring is crazy...took me a long time to get used to counting up in ones. :D and saying the two are the same is just lol.

    No bad sports imo. Not a big fan of field hockey or rugby league, but I wouldn't go banning them!

    Gaelic Football, because there might be some money left for other sports grants then.

    Not entirely true. Check out the Horse Racing forum. A lot of the guys over there aren't gamblers at all. And a jockey is a vital part of the sport. Obvioulsy the horse is doing most of the work but a jockey can hold back a horse that just wants to run and run and would otherwise tire itself out long before the finish.

    I'd ban soccer but it would only become a sports martyr rather than the overhyped nonsense it already is...

    Come on people! Golf keeps people out of the office and gives everyone else a well deserved break from them. Golf FTW!

    I'm quite pleased we're on the 2nd page and nobody has mentioned hunting. Hehehe.

    I'd say soccer as well because there's too much of it on the television. It'd be nice to go into a pub and not have 20 plasmas in the room as well.

    Bull fighting.

    Even when the bull manages to gore a matiador....they send in more to kill him anyway.

    Then you'd want plasma screens banned from pubs. If you had soccer banned, they'd just show some other sport....like cricket.
