Apart from the obvious one , I love,
Athletics, To me a true sport, no technical equipment that can give an advantage , a straight forward furthest, fastest, highest , the best man wins challenge
Cycling, i brought up in a racing household, and was watching club cycling from birth.
Superbikes, less of a procession than MotoGP, fewer primadonna's and a great days entertainment (but less of a sport as there is a high dependance on quality equipment meaning that a lesser man with better equipment can win)

Propbably of all the sports I don't show a great deal of interest in, Showjumping sticks out in my mind as the most pointless. (Oh and Polo - Hockey for people who are too posh to run around themselves)

I also have a bit of a gripe about games which call themselves sport. Darts (I love as a game) Snooker, probably bowls too, I would count as games, skilfull without doubt but hardly require stamina , fitness etc . Perhaps my criteria would be , If it just requires practice its a game, if training is involved then its a sport.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Snooker needs a great deal of mental toughness Gary and I'd class it as a sport.

 

[graysblue]

been playing snooker for 35 bloody years,best break being 31.

once sunk 4 reds and 3 blacks and missed an easy black which would have beat my best break.............nearly cried my eyes out.

My claim to fame: Used to play at Romford Luciana as a kid and Barry Hearn watched me pot red/green/red... and then miss a pee easy colour! I could have been the next Jimmy White :D

I saw 'Big' Cliff Lazerenko lose to a punter he picked out of the crowd at a dart exhibition at Clements Hall sometime in the 80's.

Leighton Reese, Eric Bristow and Jonh Lowe were also definitely there.

I think Keith Deller and Dave Whitcombe might also have been playing but cannot be 100% certain.

My favourite sports are Football, Cricket, Polo, Quoits, Extreme Dog Walking (walking the dog with a couple of cans and a reefer on the go) and Womens Weight Lifting.

[Mad Cyril]

Rugby league is dreadful.

The fans are even worse and posisbly the dullest people in the world.

 

[Firestorm]

Beach Volleyball !!!

Booo!!! A great sport, just a shame how the people in charge keep tinkering with the rules and don't really allow any continuity.

Likes for me: Football, Road Cycling, Speedway, American Football, Basketball
Hates : Show-jumping (in fact any equestrianism), Rugby Union, Golf, Sailing

 

[Uncle Leo]

At the risk of being branded boring by Mad Cyril, I'm a massive rugby league fan. I was a season ticket holder at Harlequins RL last season and the Challenge Cup Final at Wembley has become a must-do for me and my mates.

I love the furious pace of the game, the big hits, the fact that you can have a beer whilst watching it live and the almost total absence of bother between rival sets of fans.

 

[SARF]

F1 used to be great.. now its boring.. bring back turbos, skirts and huge slick tyres...

 

[Uncle Leo]

athletics......apart from when coe,cram and ovett raced i dont get it.

What is there to 'get' about athletics? As Firestorm says, it is sports at its most pure (drugs issues aside!). Person who runs fastest/jumps longest/throws furthest wins. Simple.
