I go through so many posts here on mylot about different sports, some of which I'm not too familiar with. You can see basically any sport you want to on cable or satellite television, as well as the internet. Now tell me, which sport do you really just care nothing about, and would never miss it if it became obselete? For instance, I would never miss soccer (football for Europeans), or hockey. What about you?

I am really not into sports. I do enjoy college football but not professional. I hate golf and hockey. Come to think of it, I really dont like soccer either. My list would have been much shorter if you had ask which sport I do enjoy.LOL

sport fishing. I've got to admit, I don't ever stop channel surfing and watch sport fishing, I even watch some golf, some soccer, some of just about anything just out of curiosity. Those sport fishermen are really strange. I just don't get it I suppose!

I feel bad for the editor, who has to go through all of the footage and decide which is too boring for TV.

Golf is definitely one sport that I could care less about. Unfortunately, my hubby's entire family are golf FANATICS! So whenever it is on tv, I get tortured for however many hours it takes for them to hit a silly little ball around a great big course! LOL. I guess it makes for good napping though, as that's usually what I end up doing.

Unfortunately I have no time to watch TV now, but once I liked watching football, tennis and Formula 1 car race.
To me the most boring sport in the world is the billiards.

Hockey is like my 2nd religion, but I am from Toronto, so it will NEVER be obsolete - until Armageddon strikes (maybe).

Oh yeah, I know hockey is a religion in Canada. And when Gretzy has evolved the sport like he did, who can blame you? I'm sure if I grew up in a country where hockey was prized instead of football, I'd feel the same way.
Incidentally, I've heard Curling is a sport immensely popular in Canada - is that true?

It's somewhat true. It's not THAT popular. I think it is more popular in Eastern Canada, where the cities are too small and far away to have professional sports teams in the NHL or CFL or whatever. I don't know anybody personally who follows curling, I do know that a lot of people seem to care when we are facing other countries in tournaments rather than the regular matches we have on TV.
During the Olympics, the ratings are very high, and I catch myself watching too.

I don't think I would miss cricket! (I've never seen a cricket match, so I wouldn't miss it.)

I really don't like golf or tennis. To me, they are so boring. I like sports with a little more action like NASCAR, football, baseball, and hockey.

I really don't like any sports, so if they all stopped being on TV...I would not notice it.

I hate wrestling. In fact I don't think it is even a sport, it's more like a reality talk show. I can think of a lot of things I would do if I had those muscles. Now for those of you who don't like the fishing programs, would you change the channel if a gay stands there, fishing rod in hand and a body full of those muscles? I am a man so I would watch the fishing.

Well there are a few liek billards, darts, curling, golf and just lately when did playing cards become a sport who wants to watch poker or blackjack even if it was a choice between going to the dentist or watching these the dentist would win

I would never miss basketball, baseball, hockey just to name a few. The only one I really watch is football with my husband. Never have been much of a sport fan.

it would have to be golf.
bores me to tears.18 holes of chasing a ball around only to whack it away again when you finally find it.
