Hockey and swimming, but I admit I only watch swimming so I can see myself, my sister, and our friends swim.

See below. Possibly England's second best-known club, thanks to a milk advert. I'm about 10 mins walk from the Crown Ground.

Where are all the Canucks? Banned from the NHL? Okay. *rim shot*

Seriously though, this board is OWNED by a Canadian. The least he could do was cast his vote in for the greatest sport ever, hockey.

After hockey, college football, though I still think their OT rules are retarded.

Then NFL football. All other sports are crap.

Hockey is the only sport that's worth watching to me, that and WWE wrestling. Everything else sucks. To me sports are meant to be played not watched.

NHL > CHL. The inclusion of the two-line pass being offside prevents cherry-picking, which plauges the CHL.

Newcastle United and Toronto Maple Leafs are the only two teams I care about one way or the other.

College, all sports that have a band involved. That means
Football
Basketball
Volleyball
Hockey

Our plans for a swimming and golf pep band were shot down before we ever decided on anything. We were going to do a rugby pep band but they were obnoxious jerks at a party. There've been attempts to get a baseball pep band together, but its always hard due to the fact that a previous baseball pep band once caused a full-scale riot during a game. [/band nerd]

When they institute a professional dodgeball league, I'll start watching. I figure, most sports are just a metaphor for battle/war anyways, why not be honest with ourselves and open fire (with inflated plastic balls, but the spirit's there) on the enemy?

Oh yes, I forgot to add, dodgeball, and my new favorite, Maximum Extreme Elimination Competition. What do we always say, Ken? "Don't get eliminated!"

I rarely watch sports, the only thing I'll watch at my own free will is Rugby.

Go Newcastle!

Though occasionally I will watch some extreme sports, as horrid as they are, I do enjoy street luge.

Professional sports are of no interest to me whatsoever, except for hockey, which I hate (and if anyone dares to call me un-Canadian because of that, I'll break your fuckin' face :twisted: :lol:).

However, I did enjoy sports like baseball, football, or soccer when I was in elementary and high school. Basically, I have no interest in a sporting event I am not taking part in myself.
