Golf is probably much more boring, but I don't think it has nearly the audience that football, basketball or baseball has (I didn't check, and I would be surprised).JWatts wrote:Have you ever tried to watch golf of baseball?Ivo wrote:Football (or Soccer as it is called in the U.S.) is IMO near the top of the most boring sports with a huge following.
American football is at least fun to play (not sure about watching since I've never seen a game in my life).jfrost wrote:Portugal this year sucks, I don't think it will qualify for the next round. But maybe this is me rooting for Côte d'Ivoire.
@Ivo
People don't just look at the score at the end because they do think that the action going on at all times during the match is relevant. It might not be to you, but there are things people pay attention to that makes the game worth watching. But, I don't know, I don't see a point in American football and baseball...

So true. As long as the match is carrying my attention, I could care less about the outcome. I mean sure I still pull for my teams, but Ive watched alot of noname club teams just because the game gets intense.jfrost wrote:People don't just look at the score at the end because they do think that the action going on at all times during the match is relevant.

While I wouldn't watch it on purpose, Volleyball is not too bad for me. I don't remember if they still have the rule where you only score if you are serving. Without that rule the game is practically always on. The only thing I mind in volley / beach volley is how blatantly cheesecakey the female uniforms tend to be (I feel the same way about tennis, as well) - but this is another opinion I expect to be strongly overruled by the majority.ZeroAX wrote:most other sports feel like a game. Fun to play, boring to watch. I tried watching professional volleyball for some time, but found it boring.
Heck I tried watching curling. boring to watch but seamed fun to play.
maaaaan. that rule has been abolished for years. it was really stupid and slowed down games a lot.Ivo wrote:While I wouldn't watch it on purpose, Volleyball is not too bad for me.

As for curling, I find it immensely fun to watch for short periods
