What is the Jankest Sport

[DTS]

Come on lads - Your chance to name and shame the most boring sport in the history of the world.

I dont think I have ever known a Rugby player who wasnt a total jockey.I also think its a pretty talentless sport.

I do find Formula One the most boring. if I want to watch a load of cars pointlessly racing each other I can go down the seafront.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Any sport where the relative performance of the competitor(s) is subjective rather than based on some tangible quantity such as time, height, distance or goals scored.

I am thinking figure skating, synchronized swimming etc.

I think horse racing is extremely dull as well.

I think it would be much more of a spectacle if chimps were trained to race mopeds for example.

Finally, by far and away the most boring people in the world are Rugby league fans.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Horse Racing, Formula 1 and if the recent World Championships is anything to go by, Snooker are by far the worst sports listed. I just can't get how people can sit and watch something as monotonous as Horse racing and F1...

I also had the displeasure of watching Baseball when Stateside a few years ago... Imagine a pointless Test Match, New Zealand Vs. Bangladesh for instance, and now Drag it out for a few extra hours and add Americanism's...

 

[Vange Shrimper]

Rugby League (Known to my friends as a poofs game, where they like to wear incredibly tight tops) and American Footie. Both pointless.

If you want to play proper rugby, play Rugby Union instead.

Other - cricket. Utter tedium dressed up as a sport. I've had more fun watching BBC Parliament.

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Tennis, tw@ts like Murray & Henman, say no more

Rugby by a country mile. Any sport that is played with a ball shaped like that can't be anything else other than entirely random.

Rugby fans are utter ****-jockeys who look down on football for being 'uncivilised'. This is made all the more preposturous when you have the misfortune to watch their sport and you see three fights in the first half. Football may be a lot of things, but at least the players are actively encouraged not to beat seven shades fo sh!t out of each other.

And what in the name of all that is holy is a 'scrum'? A huge pile of fat men with their heads between each others legs, wrestling in mud. I think there are websites that cater for that kind of thing.

It's ********, backward and stupid. Man gets egg, man runs with egg, man gets sat on by bigger man. I believe they used to do that when we lived in caves.

I hated it when 'we' won the World Cup, it gave the chinless wonders something to be happy about. Even though most of them had never even been near The Stoop and half of them wouldn't be able to pick out a Flanker from a police line-up.

Rugby players themselves are generally large-framed, red-faced 'jokers' who will always find an excuse to get naked and do something 'crazy'. Hilarious, Rupert, you're naked again! And what's that? Is that a radish up your arse? Oh, the hilarity. Nurse! Nurse! The screens!

At club level it's watched by about three people, at international level the outcome is so predictable that you can only really bet on the amount of points somneone will win by. We all watch Ghana against Brazil because we know that strange things happen in football, that's why it's so beautiful. Nothing ever happens when Namibia play Australia apart from Australia winning by 200,000 points. Then they all get naked and stick radishes up each others bottoms.

Rugby is for men who don't know how to talk to women and don't ever want to try.

"Other" - you forgot cricket! DULL! DULL! DULL! DULL!

 

[BrettieAngell]

Tennis for me. I would rather watch paint dry!

Excellent post - shared that one with the Aussies in the office!

 

[Jonny_Stokes]

Those who have voted for tennis are shamefully overlooking Maria Sharapova and Martina Hingis.

Horse racing for me, as it is impossible to derive any enjoyment from in unless money is involved.

 

[BoyWonder2]

Formula One, what toilet.

Absolute quality Duke my friend!!

I sat reading this almost spitting my lunch out laughing

I must say Baseball. I've tried to give it a go, but it just seems like no one can hit the ball!! People moan about Cricket, try watching Baseball.

Another rubbish sport has to be Rugby League!

Polo as well must be included, a game for just toffs, nuff said!

 

[Uncle Leo]

I voted Formula 1, albeit reluctantly as I don't really consider it to be a sport.

Rugby league is ace though - I'd have it second only to football.

Dear oh dear, you poor unenlightened soul.

Cricket is one of the most marvellous sports ever invented... it combines sporting endeavour, grit, courage, talent, artistry, strategy, luck and patience.  It is the Kama Sutra to football's quick fumble behind the bike sheds...

I do appreciate, though, that you either "get" cricket or you don't.  But to call it "utter tedium" demonstrates only your failure to understand it, rather than any intrinsic weaknesses in the sport itself. The fact that Mike agrees with you merely confirms my point...

For me, motor racing (particularly F1) has to be the most utterly pointless load of crap going.  It isn't sport, it's Professor Heinz Wolff's "Great Egg Race" with wheels.  It's simply a test of which group of engineers is the best... it used to be Ferrari, now it's Renault.  Why exactly should I care?

And what do you classify sport fans as that like both Rugger and Footie then?

Totally agree with you. Apart from some of the Ashes, its pretty boring. Especially long 5 day tests. Must be pretty demoralising for cricketers in the top division of english cricket to play in front of a crowd of 100.

On the subject of Tennis, good ole Tiger Tim has started as he's meant to go on - already a break of serve down to Federer.
