Do any of The USMB posters actually Watch Sports for Enjoyment?

[gtopa1]

I love Bathurst!

We tend to watch "oncers"........Horse Racing once a year...Melbourne Cup....almost a Religious institution...(Horse Race-2 miles), once a year...and of course Bathurst. And the Grand Finals of each code of footy even of the games we really don't follow.

I watch some races and MMA.

Most of the rest put me into a coma.

Never been in to footy, to be honest. But motorsports?

Oh yeah, religiously! Bathurst, IOM TT, F1 when it's not boring, World Rally, Dakar, the former Reno Air Races, I love them all!

SOccer played well into my early 70s and coached professionally. Greatest sport in the world

I follow the Niners, Giants and Warriors.

When I was young, there was nothing quite like watching the hot dog wrappers swirling around as I was freezing my butt off there at the Stick as I waited for Mays and McCovey to come up.

Driving through Hunters point with the windows rolled up tight with both doors locked shut was always an adventure, too.

Are Sports Enjoyment for you or a Failed Conspiracy Theory to you?

Obviously you have failed to come to grips with the meaning of that Term .
Or ,you are joking , but forgetting that Sport is far more important and real than Religion .

I watch the PGA Tour only.

I'll try to stay awake for our local Arizona Cardinals games and a few of the NFL playoff games. Otherwise, I'll occasionally turn on the TV and watch the end of a football or baseball game. I've become spoiled and don't watch things where I have to sit through commercials, other than the sports I mentioned above, along with the local news now-and-then.

Having grown up in Florida I do enjoy a good Jai alai tournament (a.k.a. pelota). It was real popular here at one time.

I have a cousin that starts redoing a game and then 60-90 minutes after the start of the game he fast forwards through the commercials.

That's a lot of remote work, not fun.

They have condensed replay games on the NFL channel. But also not fun if you've already heard the scores.

Hornets MIA surprisingly good on Prime last night. Into OT, no real traveling ignored or obvious? But I don't stare at it much.

Lonzo Ball tripped MIA best big guy using his hand to grab foot as he lay on the ground. Putting MIA big guy out injured fell on tailbone, ouch.

Refs let the play go as MIA fast break the other way was in progress. No review because play was on? MIA not happy that Ball was not ejected.


I watch only NBA or College playoffs or TMT while betting. Not one minute of 81 game almost meaningless reg season where they almost make a joke out of it.

Hockey and Basketball are best live, Football is best on TV, and Baseball is best listening on the radio to me.

Basketball seems OK on TV. You are so far away if live.

Lol! Football live is OK. You can see the whole field, the WR breaking open as the QB is looking around. You don't see that on TV. Or a big hole to run thru if you break the line.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

I only watch high school and college sports, particularly softball.

Baseball is fun to watch as well LIVE,nothing like singing during the 7th inning stretch and eating hotdogs and crackerjacks at a baseball game and you cant beat the entertainment of watching the foul balls go into the stands. I have relatives in arizona,used to go out there all the time and watch spring training games,was a blast.

 

[ShahdagMountains]

Tennis for me.

I like football. I genuinely enjoy the sport.
Other sports, I dont care for watching. Hockey is cool in real life but boring on the tv.
Baseball and golf make me want to blow my brains out.

I like hockey in person and on TV. My daughter and I watch only the Seattle Kraken. We have really bonded over hocky.

I agree about baseball on TV being a drag. However, going to a baseball game in person is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences possible if you are in the right stadium. Especially AAA baseball.
