Name sports you cannot bear to watch

Thought it'd be interesting for a thread on people's most hated sports that they absolutely CANNOT watch under any circumstances.

I'm thinking more mainstream, not things like synchronised swimming or equestrian.

For me, basketball is an absolute shocker, so is field hockey; just can't do it!!

I find basketball difficult to watch, mainly because of the squeaky shoes, but other than that it's pretty enjoyable. I don't mind most sports, usually pretty good.

Seconded. I know a few people who are into it - people I usually agree with about sports and the like - so I've attempted to get into it and I've really given it some time. Just can't get any enjoyment out of it though.

Horse related events.

Rugby when it is a penalty kick and drop kick-athon. FFS what is the point of having a backline out there? FTR I like rugby, more into the internationals then anything, but I'll still watch it and I know the players etc.

Formula 1 sucks arse, but I do have a fair bit of time for two-wheeled motorsport & speedway in particular.

I'm not a horse racing fan, but can see the appeal & would watch it at a push. I do think that if you took the gambling aspect out of it it'd die on its arse tho. Goes double for the dogs, obv.

Worst sport is probably walking tho; I mean FFS why in this day & age is it still an Olympic sport? Every ****er seems to cheat as well, so it's doubly pointless.

Basketball really, unless it's the Olympics and the Americans are losing. I struggle to watch any Rugby League as well. Other than that, I'll watch most other sport. Field hockey is also quite tedious because of the amount of fouls in it and the over-importance of the penalty corner.

I kinda agree about the penalty corners in field hockey......it wasn't such of an issue when hockey used to be played on grass but the rules changed at the Montreal OLympics...some would say cynically beacuse the Dutch and the Germans were finding it impossible to match the skills of Pakistan and India on grass. But Astro-Turf brings the power game into the equation.
