What is the most boring kind of sports to watch on TV?

What is the most boring kind of sports to watch on TV? I say golf and poker.

 

[Paidion]

People are "bored" with something, when they are uninterested and uninvolved. So I guess for me ALL team sports are "boring".

I enjoy individual competition: boxing, downhill skiing, figure skating, fancy dancing, etc.

Right on Dave! Golf and poker....and since when did poker become a sport anyway??????????????????????????

American football is somewhere in between those two also, I detest it...

 

[stovebolts]

Golf

golf, tennis,crickets golf ha!

Firstly, cricket is AWESOME! One of the best sports, along with table tennis.

Lawn Bowls is fun to play but really boring to watch.

Some of the most boring stuff ever to watch would have to be golf, lawn bowls, and soccer (football.)


I turned on Fox Sports one time, and here's what I got:
*Lithuanian Honey Wrestling
*Arm Wrestling
*Eating Competitions
*Tractor Pulling

I mean, come on - SERIOUSLY! They call that television? That's the worst excuse for television - ever!

I'm a sports nut, I really don't find any boring, I even like watching bowling & pool (billiards)

But the closest I can come to answering the question, baseball .. only when they have a guest in the booth who .."chats" while the game is going on, or when they have someone talk to somebody in the stands while the game is going on. :bigfrown

golf, AND fishing(although I love to see the catch and the reeling in of it. But to sit and wait and watch them wait.... BORING. I'd rather participate in sports of any type, rather than watch someone else have all the fun! Although, Not to say I wouldn't go to a game to support someone. I'd just rather be a participant. Baseball is boring too. But I used to love to play the game, being that I was on a team myself. In my younger days.

Speaking of younger days.... And too watch someone go hunting.... YOY! I don't like to kill the animals. I tried it once. ended up doing target practice instead. I can't kill a cute bunny. Nope not me!

AMEN! I despise! hunting. It's about the last subject that will make me forget I'm Christian. At one time I was even quite Militant in my anti-hunting ways .

Dont' know why but after reading your post here I got the thought of a cute little snuggled bunny gently tucked into the fold your crossed arms. Now wouldn't that be a sight to see! rather than rescued snakes and aligators!

The only sport I don't find boring is basketball. It's probably the only game I understand.

Yeah, it definately helps if you understand the game.

I understand a lot of games, but I just find some boring.

Do hunters really care? It is ludicrous to believe that someone who actively sets out to kill a healthy animal for fun, trophy or profit really cares about wild animals specifically or nature in general. Photographs of smiling hunters posing with their dead victims hardly reflect the kind of “caring†that most normal people relate to They claim that their killing is done for humane and practical reasons, and that an untimely death by bullet or arrow is preferable to death from natural causes. All of this presumes that animals who are killed or wounded by human hunters, endure less fear, stress and pain than those animals dying from natural causes, including predation. It is a fact that hunters kill for the pleasure, the satisfaction and the boost it gives their fragile egos. This makes killing seem like an honorable pastime that others should strive to emulate

Hunters are notoriously intolerant of anyone who questions their so-called “ethics†or who dares to criticise their violent pastime. Anyone who opposes the killing of innocent animals by hunters is labeled a “bunny-Huggerâ€Â, “unrealisticâ€Â, “impracticalâ€Â, “emotionalâ€Â, “ignorant†even a “terrorist†if you happen to be an animal rightist Like I am.

In nature, when a predator takes down prey, they take down the old, sick, weak or injured.
This keeps the gene pool strong in the prey heards. The human predator wants to take down the big strong 10 point buck which actually hurts the prey species for generations to come!!
If not for laws they would kill everything in site So don't tell me hunters care.

What about the ( I hate the word) Sport hunters who kill big game, not to eat but just to hang a head on the wall. There the real cowards.

Hunters try to justify their violent pastime, but whatever they say to the contrary, hunting is the premeditated, cold-blooded killing of innocent animals. The object of the hunt is to kill animals. Hunters argue that it is not just about killing. They claim that the camaraderie, nature appreciation, exercise, nature education, and so-called conservation benefits are just as important a part of the hunt as the actual killing or attempted killing of the target animal. But most people can appreciate and learn about nature and also contribute to nature conservation efforts without having to kill animals, and by doing their shooting with a camera instead of a gun or bow.

If hunters are the “true†conservationists they claim to be, and really do care about animals, they would pursue every humane, non-lethal possibility or means of caring for wild animals and the environment. Instead, their solution to any perceived problem with animals is to reach for the gun. Why is it that hunters, as so-called conservationists, are interested only in those animals that are most attractive as trophies, most enjoyable to eat or most “challenging†to hunt? Conservation and the protection of wild animals must be funded from ethically acceptable sources,Wildlife and environment conservation must not be abandoned to an animal-unfriendly system that uses profit to justify the killing of healthy, defenseless animals. By allowing hunters to make the claim that they “pay for conservationâ€Â, human society is failing in its responsibility to wildlife. The fate of wild animals has literally been abandoned into the hands of killers. Do hunters fulfil the role of predator? Definitely not.

Hunters will not miss out on any opportunity to cover themselves in glory, even to the point of claiming the role of natural predator in those areas where natural predators have been eradicated or do not occur. But as so-called predator, the hunter selects only the finest specimens to kill.

That hunters have to go to ever-greater lengths to defend their actions to an increasingly critical, well-informed public, is encouraging.

While I understand your point John_O, I can't say that I agree that every hunter is that which you describe.

I will be taking hunting up next year for two simple reasons.
1. It's cost effective
2. I enjoy deer meat.

For the past several years I've counted on my hunting buddies to bag me a deer, so not every year do I get a deer.

Also, my hunting friends are not like you've described at all. While it is true that some do hunt just for the thrill, they do donate the deer they kill to the local food bank or soup kitchen and yes, they pay for the processing.

Another thing to consider is deer population. In Michigan we have a huge deer population and they cause millions of dollars worth of damage each year to cars as they try to cross the road. For me, I'm lucky I'm alive when one decided to jump into my windshield several years ago... Normally they come all the way through the windshield and kick the occupants to death. Thanks GM Engineers for saving my life by purposefully adding a crumple zone to the roof!!!!!! and as far as being over populated, I'm glad they extended hunting season instead of spending our tax dollars to find a way to stop them from breeding like they did in Montana back in the 90's.

However, Montana did bring the wolves back for population control and the wolves are thriving. However, when they get the deer population down, where do you think the wolves will look for their next meal? Yeah, they will do what they did last time and go after the ranchers sheep and calves....

Baseball is the first one that comes to mind, although there are several.

But I like UFC, boxing, karate, basketball, soccer, football, mountain biking, heavy weight championships, winter games are cool if I catch them on, hockey...might have left something out.
