Curling.

Dressage.

What is dressage?

Dressage is fancy horse riding. Curling is INTENSE.

well that depends. boring to watch or boring to play? ping pong is FUN to play...so is lacross, but lacross is boring to watch, especially on tv #wherethefuckistheball?

I don't know what I'd pick for most boring, but...

I decided to actually give the gymnastics a watch (haven't watched on TV this whole time because the tape delay ruins it for me, should've been live with repeats, damn NBC) but...

HOLY SHIT IS THAT GYMNASTIC STUFF INSANELY DANGEROUS!

WHAT PARENT LETS THEIR KID DO THAT!? O.O

I mean, wow...these guys and girls must be more athletic than half the NBA and NFL combined!

I'll take any of these people doing these death-defying twists over a 300 lb. offensive lineman...geez!

And what sort of deranged mind is it exactly that says

"You know what would make a good sport? Spinning between even and uneven bars that are far apart, spinning over the bars and between them and on top of them and twisting your entire body while there are about 50 chances where logic says you should be breaking your neck just about now!"

WOW.

O.O

Boring to watch.
I cant see how anyone would continue to *play* a sport that bored them... but maybe thats just me.

I'm with you Obi - I cant think of anything so "mainstream" that has such potential for _serious_ injury. Hardcore.

I agree with uclabb. Gotta be soccer.

Is that it? Or is everyone asleep?

Soccer. The players are trying to score penalties (acting). Goals are secondary.

I'll forgive its absence to this point since I doubt most people even consider it a sport - I don't - but NASCAR.

Golf. Second only to soccer.

I might have said soccer a while back, but I've been convinced it can be interesting at times, like the World Cup...

I cast a vote for NASCAR--

WHAT is so damned interesting about watching guys race in a circle 500 times for 4 hours?

So auto racing/NASCAR in particular.

Baseball, basket ball and American Football are all pretty dull. The first is a spreadsheet, the second is sport for those with ADHD and the third has 10 minute gaps between each bit of action.

Baseball is ok I suppose.. But basketball only gets interesting when someone actually misses. And well..American Football....well....if you wanna impress people and be al that...get rid of the protective gear :)

It's a toss up between nascar and baseball. Probably nascar as at least baseball has the redeeming feature that it's not too bad when you're actually playing it.

Golf

Shooting contests.
You aim an air gun at a target so far away the audience can't even see it properly, then you shoot and the hole isn't even noticeable, and each shot takes so long...

Golf. NASCAR is only good when there's a wreck. Baseball is pretty much the same routine. Beach volleyball (olympics) it's pretty much the same play every time. So those are my top 3 most boring sports.

Soccer IMO is actually good to watch. Watching the last 20 or so minutes is fun.

I nominate cricket. Any sport that breaks for tea can't be all that exciting.

Football's only saving grace is television. Watching a football game in person is even more boring than NASCAR. At least in auto racing the cars are constantly in motion, but at a live football game with no commercial breaks and opportunities to change the channel, the teams run a play then stand around for two minutes. This isn't even mentioning the half hour halftime and massively long breaks between possessions.

Fun to play but have to go with darts.As a Canadain never understood a packed pub or arena or whereever the host high end games.People must be blitzed to watch others throw darts at board and cheer as if players just discovered the cure for cancer.

Many people love Test Cricket but few actually watch it, aside from those brief spells when the conditions change and the batsmen get wobbly. It exists more as a backdrop to a good picnic, and pleasent background noise to a conversation. There is nothing better to have on TV than test cricket when revising for an exam. It is radio commentary where it really comes into its own, though. Especially when you're listening to the Ashes whilst lying in the sun on a beach within a stone's throw from some Australians.

Come to think of it, I don't know anyone who actually plays test cricket either.

Oh yes, and I was going to add a special nomination for badminton when played by people who want to lose.

Yeah, gymnastics is crazy. I forget what I was actually looking for on youtube when I accidentally came across a series of videos paying tribute to gymnasts who suffered horrible injuries...it was tough to watch, but I could not look away. I think the first time I witnessed something like that was a live feed of...I want to say vault. The girl landed, started with the pose and everything, then collapsed on an obvious broken leg. Horrifying.

I've watched cricket on TV before and always found the announcers far more interesting than the game. They kept mentioning how one side lost a wicket. Seems awfully careless to misplace such an item.

Hockey (field, not ice) is extremely boring to watch.
