Sports you hate.

[MK Shrimper]

Any sport that involves a judge.

That's pretty much all of them then.

 

[Pubey]

That's pretty much all of them then.

Not really, you know what I mean. Any sport that relies on a judge (or set of judges) to come up with a score that determines the result.

Oh I getcha now.

See that's just silly. You may not like what it stands for, but it's still football.

People love saying 'best league in the world my arse' when a televised Sunday PL fixture is a dull 0-0, but those same folk always go a little quiet when there's a 3-3 thriller.

Yes I get your point - but I still will not watch it :nope:

Enjoyed watching 10 minutes highlights of Fulham getting a draw at Old Trafford.:smiles:

Not if you are into illegal bare knuckle and dog fights on remote industrial estates.

Not sure I hate any other sports, plenty I have no interest in but wouldn't class that as hate!

Never really been into any other sports, quite like American Football, watch Wimbledon when we have a British interest, other than that wouldn't really watch anything else.

Rugby League's ****. Tennis can be boring and I don't like American Football (Why is it called a touchdown, when they don't touch it down?).

Rugby league > rugby union
Tennis is excellent
They used to touch it down, like rugby but do so no longer. Similar, I suppose, to a try being the main scoring play in both rugby codes rather than earning one a try for a conversion, which is all it was back in the day.

Rugby Union is more of a mans game than Rugby League. Rugby League is for pansies :winking:

i can't believe I bit so easily and I can't believe you bit so easily :smile:

Seriously though, I can accept arguments regarding RL's more one dimensional nature in comparison to RU, but the 'mans game' nonsense is, well, just that.

Both games are incredibly demanding physically. Possibly, as players get bigger and stronger by the season, to the detriment of them both.

True, both are demanding in their own ways, but I think that Union men can handle more :smile:. It's like Aussie Rules and NFL, both really similar to League and don't like them either. And how many Union plays defect to League compare to the other way round. Zilch.

Because Union players are used to a stop-start game which had turned pretty dull to watch. League is relentless.

Darts. It's not a sport.

Andy Powell and Gareth Thomas in the last few years. But yes, not many. Money is probably the main factor though - plenty of it in RU, far less in RL. A far more prestigious international game as well, which I am sure is a factor in Sam Burgess' probable move to the 15 man code.

Horse Racing when you're not betting is dull so there is a simple answer there - it really is a cracking day out so don't knock it until you try it etc.
As for sports I would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch - it has to be baseball - utterly the most boring game invented.
And that is coming from a massive massive Essex and England cricket fan.

Personally don't get why anyone would hate another sport...fair enough if it's not your thing but if other people get pleasure from it what's the harm? Living in a country where football isn't the all dominant monolith it is back home I sometimes get the odd bit of 'soccer bashing' from people who say they hate the sport.

Just don't understand it, live and let live surely?

 

[Ricey]

Surely that should mean you hate whoever sent you to Afghanistan, rather than hating the Olympics?

The thought of it all and when it's mentioned always makes me annoyed. I used to travel into London past Stratford all the time watching the development of the Olympic village. The more and more that came up the more I got excited I couldn't wait! And then I got sent away and missed the whole ****er!

Agreed "hate" is a too strong a word for it. However I'd rather paint my lawn a nice shade of green and watch it for five hours without blinking (ala Alex in A Clockwork Orange) that sit through one "game" of NFL. Go Jets....no just **** off.
