Gah! I demand that Australian Football gets its own selection!

American Football is the best sport--followed by soccer. Baseball and pride/ufc are somewhat hit and miss.
No athletics???????????????????????????????????????????????????
Cricket? NZ are no good but I still like to play/watch it...
Rugby?

American football by far...most likely because I play it. I play Defensive End and Tight End in case you were wondering.

They envy us because we are mortal, because any moment might be our last.

American Football all the way!
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Soccer- Because I play and it is really exciting.
American Football- Been watching it all my life... GO RAIDERS!!!
"No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."
All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

Ja Mata, Tosa.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
Only football was worthy of a vote. In my case, nothing else is capable of
causing such irrational pain, distress, or euphoria
Watch tennis, and North American sports to varying degrees, but none could
ever have the same effect. Watch rugby with less interest than I do even
American football, it has to be said. [Even if it is national.] Watched the recent
superbowl and experienced a level of engagement that rugby all too often just
fails to evoke.
Please allow me to also mention cricket, for another reason. I would rather
watch 1,000 goalless Bolton - Blackburn derbies and subsequently have to claw
my own eyes out than be forced to watch or otherwise hear more than 10
minutes' enthusiastic discussion on that dross. I find darts truly rivetting by
comparison, and it is difficult for me to type such words. I am repulsed by
cricket. Terrible, terrible game.
[Like the television theme music though, even if it does trigger an allergic
reaction of sorts.]

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

and proud.
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.
"MTW is not a game, it's a way of life." -- drone
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.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
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!
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!

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"?
