Hate - motorsports (not a level playing field, so utterly pointless), equestrianism (daft), snooker (except when O'Sullivan is at the table), rugby league (just don't get it), horse-racing (unless trackside), US sports (largely because I don't get / understand them either), Gaelic sports (ditto), swimming (dull), sailing (mad, dull), golf (dull, apart from the Ryder Cup), WWE (pointless, stupid, not sport, play-acting, red-neck nonsense).
Love - football (obviously), cricket (where sport, aesthetics and personal duels all meet), rugby union (used to play it, so I understand it), athletics (sport at is purest), darts (tension and testosterone), boxing (savage beauty), tennis (Sharapova!), cycling (the ultimate endurance tests?).
* * *
If I were a benign dictator, WWE would be banned, cricket would be on terrestrial TV alone, the first day of any cricket Test series would be a national holiday, and boxing would be compulsory for all 11-15 year old boys. Tire the little sods out.

R.I.P
Cricket was my first sporting love, having been taken to see Essex against the convicts at Southchurch Park in 1961, even before my first visit to Roots Hall. I've followed through all the twists and turns since and have been lucky enough to see many players who are now termed as greats.
I like many other sports rugby (league & union). athletics, boxing, golf and go absolutely daft when the Olympics come round.
Not a big fan of any thing involving horses as generally they are disappearing into the distance with my hard earned and I get bugger all return.
I agree with MtS about WWE, but in fairness to WWE now, it does not represent itself as a sport, but sports entertainment.

Love -
Football, Cricket (agree with MtS except all Test Match days should be National Holidays), Golf.
Don't mind -
Most other sports.
Can't stand -
Athletics (who's taken the most drugs wins), Cycling (See athletics, but with bikes), Motor Racing (Cars go round and round, totally pointless)

Football and Boxing are my 2 loves , used to be an ametaur boxer but couldn't keep that and football up at the same time and opted for football.
Having seen Hatton , Calazghe , Haye , Kevin Mitchell fight live must admit it is a top night out and they are probably our best 4 fighters around at the moment with Carl Froch ,but i don't like the guy so will never watch him fight .
Not a fan of Golf , Cricket and American football .
Although going against my heart , i'm gonna have a wager on Jones jr beating Calazghe on points next week , i hope i lose my money but got a sneakt feeling he's gonna take Joe .:'(

Where art thou Tes 🦐
The only game I live and breath is football.
Other then that, I dislike:
Fishing - Nothing against fishing, just it's not a sport.
I like:
Cricket - When the ashes are on it's class.
Snooker - Always enjoyed playing/watching snooker, although only in patches.
Tennis - Don't mind playing tennis occasionally, watching it often bores me though.

I love football and hurling. Hurling in particular is fecking insane but great to watch. Pretty easy to get in to as well if you give it a go.

The Sports I Love
Football - the beautiful game. Whether watching, playing or being a football manager on the pc its fantastic. It really is the universal language. And being in a country where it not a big sport makes you love it even more as you miss so much!
Cricket - one dayers & 20/20 - fast paced, action filled dayand even better if you are there live with beer in hand. Nothing like a day at the cricket
Golf - Not a fantical viewer apart from the majors and ryder cups but enjoy a good go at it myself even though I am cack. But walking round a course on beautiful British day before part-taking in the customary 19th hole is always a joy.
Tennis - Some of the stuff the top guys do is magical and its getting beter as a sport as more and more players become top class and advance the game forward.
Pool - Is it a sport? Yeah and it goes well with a few pints before/during/after soccer saturday (obv. if no Southend game or a away game I cant make)
Women's beach volleyball - no reason needed
The Sports I Hate
Polo - Not a sport. In fact anything with horses (minus actually horse racing). Silly toffs prancing around on their la-de-da's!!
Baseball - A game only the yanks could play. But yet insist on their championship playoffs being called the world series. You are the only country that plays the ****ing sport you unintelligent buffons!!
Wrestling - Not sure if you would class it as a sport but its not entertainment. Its far OTT and cheesy for my liking. And sorry to tell people this but incase you dont know its fake.
Netball - Why? (my missus will kill me for this reason too being ex-england) but why. I go along to support the missus when she plays but I dont get it. No physical contact? I say get the jelly and cream and lets get it on. And the aussies love it too so its always on TV!!
Chess - ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz. I know its a game for intelliects. The high browed. But really. a game that involves taking several minutes to make a move isnt really a sport to me.
