Sport

[Punicus]

American Football. I grew up with it, I play it; it's almost something I can't help. GO BILLS!

[Martok]

American Football all the way! It's about the only sport I really like, though. I can get into baseball in a small way if I'm watching it with someone who's a fan, but otherwise I don't care two licks about any other sport -- as a spectator, that is.

Participant-wise, I like American football (although I never played in school), volleyball, and bowling. Yes, I know bowling isn't a "real" sport, but I felt like including it anyway.

American Football, by far. As Decker said, Go Raiders!

I wouldn't necessarily say it's 'better' than other sports, but it's what I grew up with, played as a kid, and love. That's what sports are all about IMHO.

I also enjoy Hockey. Used to watch baseball, before they drained out all the life with strikes and pumped in all the 'roids for records. Can't stand basketball, mostly because of the unholy agony of spending 30 minutes and multiple commercial breaks on the last '30 seconds' of a game. Often even a game which isn't close at all gets dragged out meaninglessly into oblivion.

Which is one of my favorite things about non-US football, i.e. soccer. No messing around with time outs, pauses, and boring delaying tactics. They play. Maybe they don't score, but at least they're out there moving and making things happen.

I refuse to vote until a proper sport, such as rugger, is included in the poll.

Basketball. We experience more faints and ups and downs that in every other sport.

Has to be football, i can watch or play a few other sports with some interest but nothing comes close to football for the affect on my emotions whether im playing or just watching. Even if my team isn't playing i pick a team to support and when they score i find myself jumping round the room like a nutter.

and the poster whose name i can't spell without looking is completely right about cricket (and darts!) it is one of the most boring sports to watch!

GAH! What is this thing you call sport?

Is it something like when 22 grown men run around a field chasing a bag of wind?

And as for cricket, who said "The English, not being a spiritual people, invented to cricket to give them a sense of eternity"?

[scotchedpommes]

Basketball.

What about your love of Ajax? Surely that has to be greater?

Basketball is always my sport. Soccer comes second.
Ajax is a club, here we are talking about a sport.
