Are there any sports that you generally will not watch?

By that I mean you would rather turn off the TV and do something else? .....or go to a different part of the bar?

Hockey.

Easy choice for me, Cricket. Rather watch the trees grow then this.

thats how i felt until the ashes.... but then again most of the english got into it when it looked like we were in with a chance

for me i dont like horse racing, ironically though, i have been known to have a flutter on the geegees if im in the boozer when its on

im not too keen on watching athletics either

Bowls, squash, table tennis and that sport the scottish are good at that involves chasing some sort of disc down a lane with a brush/mop.

I will turn over if darts is on , enjoy playing it though.......

American football surely takes this prize, closely followed by hockey.

soccer sucks for me

Basketball.

And Portuguese Salmon Racing comes a close second. Give me Dwyle Flonking anytime.

Soccer and golf.

They could make soccer much more interesting by putting a dozen balls on the field.

Golf could be improved if they allowed tackling. By-the-way, golf is not a sport, it's a game... somewhat like checker or chess. You don't have to be fit to play golf.

Basketball - it is just mind numbing. The game has no variation - they just take turns to have an attack and usually score.

Baseball/Hockey - followed closely by Golf/Bowls!

Wrestling. However, who calls that a sport?

I've never considered dominos to be a spectator sport either.

I'll always remember the commentary of Sid Waddell at the climax of an epic multi set 'match' between Leighton Reese (8 pints) and Jocky Wilson (10 pints): "what athletes these men are!"

Showjumping.

Always a turn-off.

most Olympic sports I can't bear, until it comes to time for the actual Olympics themselves, where I am glued to all sports and become an expert on the Romanian Underwater Basket Weaving Team.

Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey and American Football.

Ever been to a live Ice Hockey game Prof?

I went to see Manchester Storm a few years ago

ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................

Soccer, Cricket, Formula 1, Basketball, baseball, darts, golf.

However I actively go out of my way to watch Rugby (union or league), and Moto GP oand Super Bikes. I'll also be watching the Bathurst 1000 on ABCAsiaPacific next week.

Cricket, too much pomp, too much standing around,

Admittedly I really don't fully understand the game,

Wrestling but someone has told me that it is fixed - I don't believe it!

Golf, snooker, darts and motor sports ... watching gridlocked traffic in Bangkok is marginally more exciting ...zzzzzzzz

All of the above and F1 has become too confusing since Ferrari's star is fading

Darts and table tennis.

Soccer. I have tried, but I cannot bring myself to get interested in a sport where nobody scores most of the time!

Sorry to most of the population of the world.

I also have problems with the sheepdog trials
