I pretty much love all sports and will watch all of them. I have become disenchanted with basketball though...The NBA sucks and the college game is dominated by refs and one and done players.

Soccer
Hockey And before anyone tells me "you just don't understand it" or some elitist argument- think for a while about the similarities between these two sports and how they differ from every other sport. |

Yeah can't say that I "hate" any sports. I find performance sports like gymnastics and figure skating boring.

Olympic Gymnastics is a great watch, I agree on the figure skating...very rarely have I ever attemped to watch it and only at the Olympics will I give it a go.

Not a sport and yes it is brutal to watch...this coming from an avid card player.

Hockey? The players there are as tough as any sport. Soccer? Those players are more conditioned than any other sports in terms of cardio. Both, I enjoy watching live. But, they don't translate to a good TV product. I don't consider the following statement to be elitist at all. Before you criticize, play the game. |

I would challenge that a lot of sports have more cardio and the athletes are in as good or better shape. Distance and cross country running, water polo and rugby just to name a few. In Soccer a lot of the players are not constantly running that is a misconception, and the halves are only 45 minutes...not quite the endurance test that it is being made out to be. That being said you do have to be in shape to play soccer and it is a lot of fun to play.

I just find both sports to be incredibly frustrating to watch. Not that I don't understand what's going on- again, it goes back to the similarities of both sports. |

Nope, not that.
I find it frustrating if I'm supporting a team. Its like- oh, we've got the ball / puck...maybe this will be I...wait, nevermind. An opponent kicked the ball or hit the puck to the opposite end. I don't know, its tough to describe. You and / or others will flame me for my opinion, but I don't mind. |

I don't hate any sport but there are a few I don't follow and really can't watch (live or on tv)
