Granted my enjoyment of the NFL and NBA is beginning to decline rather rapidly but Thats what I like about the NHL and MLB, is very perpetual and gives me something to watch on television. Going to try expanding my horizons a bit and follow an NRL Rugby Team this year. (go roosters)

Does female mud wrestling count? 8)

Seriously, my ass is drawn to the couch. It's somewhat pathetic the lengths I will go to to avoid exertion. But that's hardly the reason I don't follow sports, as I can cope with pressing a button. It's just that they don't interest me at all. I can't sit through a long ass sports game where:

A) I don't know what the fuck is going on.
B) I don't give a shit.

I watch the Superbowl, as it's an excuse to get smashed and see boobs (not Janet, the real life girls that have very interesting reactions to alcohol)... So really I guess I don't even watch the Superbowl. I love gladiator type stuff, whether with robots or... I guess there's no alternative. I love robot fights. :twisted:

I used to be a pretty big baseball fan but the strike over a decade ago ruined it for me. I haven't watched it since.

Football, baby. Some years I slack a little but I love football.

Basketball sucks.

Hockey is fun but I've never been into it enough to follow a team or anything like that.

Did I mention that I love football?
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Cricket, it's the sort of game I can watch. You can leave for an hour and come back and find not much has happened.

Football (soccer to Americans) is the only sport I really follow. No other sports come close for me.

Could the people who say soccer state what team that follow. You don't have to i'm just currious. I follow a little know team called Glentoran. I also used to be a member of a Glasgow Rangers supporters club.

Barnsley FC - when I remember, am a very lazy supporter although I do tend to get down to a match a couple of times a year... :) oh, and I keep an even looser eye on Partick Thistle. :)

actually, WWE is wrestling entertainment, not really a sport. especially since the fights are all scripted and predetermined anyways. if the fights weren't pre-set as to who'd win, then it could be considered a sport.
