I would ban tag rugby. It irks me so.

ban any sport that ends in 'ball' or involves a ball of some kind to participate, there would be better tv viewing then

Actually it seems Soccer needs a good whack with the banstick. The fans dont know how to behave to the extent of normal human beings. For all the revenue made out of the sport it still costs quite a bit in police prescence and peace of mind to have to handle all the begrudging that goes on between clubs. The only time people get along for any length of time is during the World Cup. After that people are fighting with their neighbors over Liverpool vs. Manchester shyte. Give it a rest lads.

Gaelic and hurling (aka Bogball and stickball) should be banned.

They are the most stupid games ever, and hurling is a very dangerous game.

They also encourage bigotry

And you sir are just trolling so away and crawl back under your stone.

There are a few olympic 'sports' that take liberty with the very word - synchronised swimming and dressage spring to mind.

The one I'd ban would be baseball, it's actually worse than cricket and yet the yanks go on about it like it's the greatest game ever. At least English people acknowledge that cricket is boring and alot of lads only go for the beer.

I wouldn't ban any sport, but i would ban news papers, tv and radio news stations covering news - nothing but a distraction, should be separate stations and papers for sports.

*ahem, A Williams driver is currently winning the drivers championship.

Ferrari are only 3 points ahead of Sauber in the construction championship, Mclaren are third, 20 points behind

I'm not denying it was boring and predictable for about the past 7 years or so but since the removal of traction control, its become interesting again because drivers can actually make errors on the exit of corners and not have the speed in the straights which means over taking is possible again and its not just a train of cars driving in circles anymore.

Could we not just make them more interesting rather than ban them?

Like give soccer players tasers or something

Aurora Borealis

Any blood sport, take your pick!

NASCAR

What the hell, 500 laps in a circle?!

F1 has hairpins, screaming straights, sharps curves...excitement

Nascar....a circle....**** off

I wouldn't acknowledge that at all! You just haven't taken the time to know the ins and outs of the sport. <Thinking to myself> Probably the same deal with most other sports that are hated...except for NASCAR, baseball, synchronised swimming etc...


...Contradiction FTW!

The Bollox

horse racing. the biggest congregation of up-their-own-arse snobs, all to see a few horses running around a field. also there's a lot of corruption in horse racing so it's not a fair sport (and I use the word 'sport' lightly). Worst of all it takes precidence over all other things on the tv, and in pubs. Horse racing, I fart in your general direction!

zuutroy

Still plenty of people chirping in for banning sports they probably dont know the first thing about I see.

Clearly the 80M people that attend Major League Baseball every year are all wrong and it is in fact boring, and they like to be bored!

Ban Cricket.... Awful awful game!

cricket, has to be one of the most boring games to be invented, to watch & play.

Instead of just burning the wickets for the ashes they should gather up all the cricket gear all over the world let the aussies keep that.

cack game, cack watch

ScumLord

I would say cricket but someone filled me in on the rules and it wasn't a bad game only for the fact it goes on forever but they have this new 20/20 cricket now which should fix that.

Nascar is pointless and I'm a motor sport fan. Most American sports are crap and boring. Baseball and AFootball are shiote.

It has really picked up this year, the last race was the best I've seen in a long time, all tracks should be like Montreal. Next year should be even better with the removal of the aerodynamic bits and bobs and a return to slicks.

f1dan

Lacrosse. Even more boring than cricket.

you do realise that 90% of people who watch cricket only go for what is essentially a lads picnic.

What other sport allows you to sit in the sun all day and drink beer in the company of 10,000 other like minded people?

Horse racing should be banned. Lets face it, most people "Into" horse racing are gambling addicts who try and make their addiction sound credible.

mikedragon32

I really like watching cricket. Lads Picnic is a great description. And for those who think it takes too long there's the 20twenty format. Brilliant!

Now, for sports to be banned: Horse racing. I just don't get the attraction of it. Horse eating, now there's a sport. Yummy

That's actually a VERY good point. No war for f*cking NASCAR.

Cricket, rythmic gymnastics, hare coursing, fox hunting, bird shoots.

Frog baseball.

Football, so I'd see more of my husband. And I'd get to watch Coronation Street more often.

I can't understand why Darts is called a sport. It doesn't exactly involve physical exertion (which is what I though a sporting activity involved). I use more energy doing the knitting.
