Worst sport

[8ball]

Football.

1-0
2-1

Who gives a fuck?

 

[Strawman]

F1 shouldnt be an option because its not a sport...I still voted for it tho

 

[stavros]

Most of the time I vote cricket (I'm yawning just typing it), although for two weeks a year I must say tennis gets my goat royally, especially with no Neighbours.

 

[Brockway]

Nobody's mentioned showjumping and in particular... the dressage. Feck is that?!!

 

[Red Faction]

League is.

Union is for fat public schoolboys and policemen.

ah the voice of prejudice

we have a saying in munster
doctors and dockers

rugby is a very fine sport which has no place in this poll whatsoever

 

[Jografer]

Why isn't wrestling in this list?

 

[snorbury]

 

[Orang Utan]

However, the worst sport ever is solo synchronised swimming.

Completely pointless.

If it's pointless, then so is figure skating and hotdogging (or whatever it's called).
All sport is pointless really

 

[Orang Utan]

It more about size than skill.

Nonsense!

 

[mtbskalover]

There's no Association Football in the poll.
Shit poll!

football in todays modern society is almost as much of a farse and money orientated "sport" as F1. also the bad natured banter between drivers like alonso (sp?) and schu' is like managers and players fights! wenger vs fergusion, etc.

rugby fans are much better than footy fans,
rugby matches, fans mix and sit anywhere. very little trouble,

football matches, "fans" have to be split up.
football has the supporters hooligan groups that meet for fights, great!

in cardiff on football days in stadium you avoid town cos it could be dangerous, on rudby days you go in cos of the good banter!

 

[stavros]

Nobody's mentioned showjumping and in particular... the dressage. Feck is that?!!

It's dancing.... on horses. Which also brings to mind ice dance as a shit sport. Why the fuck is it in the Olympics? Why don't we put tap dancing, or break dancing in too? The only reason it's tolerated over here is because we won it once upon a time.

formula 1, but not motor racing in general. I used to love going to Silverstone and watching thngs like Minis racing, trucks racing and Touring Cars. It's the lack of excitement and competitiveness in Formula 1 that makes it boring.

 

[Mr Retro]

Ah yes, all those South Wales boys are well known for their braying male voice choirs. And you can't move for plummy accents down in Sale or Gloucester.

And at Munster games. People are so posh I need to bring a fat public school boy to translate for me.

I always enjoy the union v league arguments because they are harmless but I'm genuinely surprised and really disapointed to hear your experiences tarannau.

Does league actually qualify as a sport? At last count only 231 people were registered playing it worldwide?

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Does that argument apply to Gaelic sports too?

 

[dessiato]

Cricket, what a waste of time that is, there is no sport in standing around in a fucking field doing nothing

Cricket is better than you, your house your family and your cat put together- FACT

 

[dessiato]

that is probably true knowing my house, but I haven't a cat so must suggest that you are a little bit wrong there

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Cricket is better than you, your house your family and your cat put together- FACT

No. True only if we except the cat.

 

[dessiato]

No. True only if we except the cat.

Have you seen my current apartment? It is the worst place I have ever lived, even my Tranny Van is nicer. Cricket must be better than this. (The previous tennant was an alky who among othere things used to piss in the living room. And we keep finding bottles every where, and there are fleas in the carpet) Cricket has to be better than this.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Yes, but cricket would be better than your house if your house were the Taj Mahal.

A cat, however, is better than the Taj Mahal.

 

[Mr Retro]

Does that argument apply to Gaelic sports too?

No.

Loads of people play gaelic football. If 'they' saw the light and banned that awful game, Ireland would be the best in the world at english invented football, rugby union, rugby league (easy one, the union rejects would have enough in the bank for the other 231 put together), track and field, caber toss and piss-up-the-highest.

Leave the people playing hurling alone though, that's the best sport in the world. Though if it was banned, we'd be the best at cricket and baseball too.

 

[k_s]

Yes, but cricket would be better than your house if your house were the Taj Mahal.

A cat, however, is better than the Taj Mahal.

You meant dog I'm sure.

 

[The Groke]

Football/soccer

 

[norwood]

Afl by far the most stupid pointless game i have ever seen, you even get a point if you miss the goals.Stupid aussies.

 

[norwood]

Closest AFL gets to an international game is when they bash a bunch of midget irishmen half there size in some demeted game of a mix between afl and galeic football.

 

[Paulaviki]

Where was the option for all of the above......well apart from rugby because thats ok, golf and snooker are so dull I'd rather watch paint dry, and F1 is just a joke, watching motorbike racing is about 200 times better....darts is just full of beer swilling fat men......lol

 

[Dr. Furface]

That's because life is pointless.

Anyway, the worst 'sport' is yachting. It's impossible to watch - unless it's shown on tv - and even if you can see it, it's impossible to understand. And it's boring as hell anyway. And it's just for rich fuckers.

 

[joevsimp]

Hockey

ice, roller or field?

 

[Orang Utan]

That's because life is pointless.

Well yes, that's the point I was making

 

[Roadkill]

Even as a motorsports fan, F1 doesn't interest me much. The cars have so much downforce and such wide tyres that they grip all the time, don't slide and can rarely get close enough to overtake. They just whizz round and round. Plus, the cost is so high that only a couple of teams are in with a realistic chance and the others are just makeweights. I find the whole homogenised, commercialised, packaged nature of it a real turn-off as well. Most professional motorsport, sadly, is going that way: even the world rally championship has become bland, formulaic and commercial. Give me amateur rallying any day - it's still fun, spectacular and diverse.

Bollocks. Ocean racing is only for the rich, but dinghy sailing certainly isn't. Yachting (and I include dinghies in that) is a poor spectator sport to watch live, of course, because it takes place well offshore, and even on TV it's not so good because it's difficult to understand if you're not familiar with sailing. But it's a very technical sport and it takes a lot of skill to do well - and that applies whether you're watching 'rich fuckers' in multimillion pound yachts, or ordinary people racing £250 dinghies. Sailing in a strong wind can be pretty spectacular too...

Snooker and darts are (IMVHO) more games than sports. If you can do it in the pub with a beer and a fag, it ain't a sport in my book. Both of them make dull-as-ditchwater TV too.

So I've got to go for golf, the game beloved of professional sportsmen in their time off, and overweight professional people who think they should get some exercise. I'm sure half of them keel over with shock when they first see themselves in plus fours. I can't for the life of me understand why it's televised: it might be a great game to play, but it's hardly an exciting spectator sport.

<edit>
And all of this coming from someone who doesn't understand the appeal of football, doesn't mind the game itself but detests the fact that people expect you to like it and look at you as if you're a little weird when you say you don't!
