What is the worst sport in your opinion???

[Lenny the Fatface]

How could I forget E-sports. That shit fukn sucks. And poker and chess

High end Street Fighter and Tekken is pretty hype though lol.

[dunc]

We have a sport here called Australian Rules - it's the sloppiest, mess of a sport - literally it's just turnover after turnover.

Yeah that game is a head fuck. I'm from nzd and it just looks like bad rugby. Dudes just chasing soap.

[dunc]

I will accept no cricket slander in this thread

Agree. Cricket is a game full of emotion, drama, statistics and games within games. I love it!

If playing Call of Duty is a sport then I have no idea what the word "sport" even means.
Is a scrabble tournament considered a sport?
Are spelling bee and chili cookoff participants athletes?

Used to be my thought, I got into an hours long debate with my coworker over it. Apparently if it’s competitive and requires some sort of physical exertion it’s a sport.

Those boys use a pretty generous definition of "physical exertion".
A few nights ago I played Fallout for a solid 4 hours, no breaks except to pee or grab a fresh beer a couple times.
No fatigue, no cramps or sore muscles, didn't release a single drop of sweat, and virtually no chance of injury (I mean, I did drop a cigarette in my lap at one point, that could've hurt if I didn't find it fast enough).
Oh yeah, and I was smoking the whole time too.

[35mm]

Not a sport I guess but all the Motorsport talks makes me think of drifting. I wouldn’t like to be breathing all that tire smoke

Cards, video games, chess are not fucking sports. If you can't get hurt or don't break a sweat its not a sport.

Until I went to a cricket match I would have said cricket, but I kinda got it when I was there in the stadium. It was NZ at home vs Australia, about 20 drunk lads doing there best chopper impersonation, ripping the piss out of the Australia players, all day drinking in the sun.

Plus this:

Gonna have to go with American football, its like a slow water downed version of rugby with ad breaks every 30 seconds.

How about darts and pool / snooker / billiards, it's played indoors with the AC blasting. Officially not recognized by the Olympic committee but they do dedicate their lives to the activity and some physical exertion is involved, though all the best dart players look like they spent all their training hours in the pub.

[rukes]

Rugby union. All they do is kick it out on the full the whole time.

Rugby league though is the greatest sport ever.

I'd say they all are games. Like you can be a professional chess player but your not an athlete...same goes for darts/billiards can be a pro but so fat you haven't seen your dick in 15 years.

[Royce Lopez]

I generally think competing is so lame that in the future it will be something that people will read about and wonder what was wrong with those people and where they less intelligent.
nothing good comes out from professional sports today , just gambling and money laundering , families destroyed.

you could have everything on amateur level and it would still be fun and more genuine .

What can they do instead of a scrum? Maybe I'm alone but scrums in league are really starting to annoy me but I can't think of a better option. (Maybe those in-charge just can't either).
Throw ins in soccer too.

Rugby league should just get rid of scrums. Just have a play the ball instead.

All it does it tie up a heap of the defensive line so teams can do set plays from scrums.

Rugby union has proper scrums and rugby union fucking sucks.

American football is so boring and stupid, but my deepest hate goes to floorball.
As a finn, it was forced to us all winter long troughout school.

[Mean salto]

Oh if we're going for the dumb shit we had to do in PE then I'm back to fuck cricket. My school did 80 min lessons and PE was at the end of the day so you'd of stood out in the sun all lunchtime then stand out in the sun for another 80 mins while 4 sports dorks took the stupid game overly seriously. netball too and also a huge fuck you to square, line and barn dancing.

F1 seconded. Elitist circle jerk and the proles gobble it up. Terrible spectator sport too - TV barely gives a sense of how fast they're going and IRL it's expensive, unbearably loud and so hard to follow you end up looking at a screen like at home, but the beer is warm. It's even worse now that the main guy is Dutch so everybody here is suddenly a pundit.

Pretty sure men's professional tennis is fixed.

How so? While not a hard sport to intentionally lose, the amount of running you have to do to make it look believable on a professional level wouldn’t even be worth it. And to me it’s almost impossible for the officiating to screw people over on a consistent basis.
