    There would be a few on my list

    Bull Fighting (cruelty element)
    Cricket - pointless and goes on way too long

    well, a ball is thrown, if the batter hits. he runs. basically the same thing. just running in different directions.

    I have only once watched an entire soccer match. If I ever have to go through that again I'll probably wind up killing someone to alleviate the boredom.

    Give me curling any day.

    Rugby please....

    I hate those stupid cartoonish pictures that get painted on pub windows whenever there are rugby matches on.

    They're not cartoons. That's what rugby players actually look like.

    Formula 1. *yawn*


    Cricket is great, noone thinks it's entertaining, it's just an excuse to get pissed on summer afternoons.

    Golf. It narrowly beats cricket. At least if you were to go to a cricket match you could make a day of it and bring drink to make it that bit more interesting.

    soccer just to p*ss the overly involved people off TBH. Those guys that can barely kick a ball that feel the need to buy the jerseys and wear them to the pub to watch soccer and scream at the tv when the team they support loses even though they have no connection with that club whatsoever, they just randomly choose to support that club.

    Soccer - absolute.

    How can so many fans get so excited when a player 'nearly' scores a goal and then talk about it for weeks.

    Cull them all.

    Boxing.
    Because most boxers are either extremely arrogant or downright thick. (In some cases, both)

    Soccer. A game filled with overpaid pretty boy pansy cheaters that turns most of the population of this country into know it all managers spewing stuff like: "At the end of the day", "the fact of the matter is", "they were a bit flabby in the defense" and other infuriating tidbits of football jargon.

    Wow..... I've got some issues I think....

    Never mind that. When the player gets around to home base it's a run.


    Someone else mentioned Darts. I think of it as a sport like i think of Archery as one.

    Cricket for me like so many others. On second thoughts Curling is worse.

    Soccer. So boring. Nearly fell asleep in the san siro, just ended up ignoring the match and chatting to Italians.

    Golf is boring to watch until you learn to play or it zooms in on the ducks.

    American "Football". Then I'd make all the players take up rugby. The padded pussies would all be dead in a week and their organs could be harvested. This in turn would lead to a reduction in transplant waiting lists and do so much good in the world.
