Poll: What's your favorite professional sport? (watch or play)

[psteng19]

What's your favorite professional/major league sport? to play or to watch, i guess...

For me, first comes basketball, then baseball. I like watching and playing both.

Then the rest I like equally.

 

[NoreagaCNN]

Baseball then basketball. I like to play football but don't like watching it.

Depends on what time of the year it is

 

[Sephy]

Football over all!
Then baseball. Then soccer.

 

[eakers]

playing and watching:
rugby
soccer (or football as i like to call it)
figure skating (laugh it up if you want)

watching:
diving
curling


*kat. <-- loves rugby the most.

I really can't stand baseball. All you do is just stand there and wait for a long while football, lacrosse, table tennis are my favs i'd say.

 

[Viper0329]

Does table tennis make you dizzy watching it? Try and follow the ball....it aint easy...

 

[The Stigenator]

I watch:

Cricket (not so more since I am in the US - damn US tv sports).
Basketball
Soccer (the real football - I call it football but unfortunately in the US it causes confusion).
Badminton
Formula 1
Rugby


Play (in order of actually play time here in the US)

Badminton
Soccer
Basketball
VolleyBall
Cricket

<< I really can't stand baseball. All you do is just stand there and wait for a long while >>



You should try coming over to England and watching a game of cricket.
The longest ever game lasted thirteen days and still ended up being a draw!

 

[The Stigenator]

HairCut .. even though test cricket lasts 5 days.. its more exciting than baseball where they hit the ball once in a blue moon.. Sure cricket has those &quot;slow overs&quot; .. but atleast once that slow down is over with the game goes really fast.

I prefer one day internationals than tests..

By the way there are 9 ways to get out in cricket.. but there are sure far lesser than that to get out in baseball. I can think of only 3 ways.

With 9 ways it makes it a lot more exciting..

Baseball is right up there with golf and bowling (to watch)
Boooooooooorrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggggg!

 

[LintBalll]

Football (pro then college)
Hockey

Baseball, basketball, and soccer are not my thing...

 

[LordUnum]

Basketball in both cases by a mile. Although golf is such an extremely boring game to watch IMO, I wouldn't mind playing it at some niiiice golf course (not the municipal golf courses around here, or something, UGH! :disgust: )....

The_good_guy, there are actually ten ways to get out in cricket

I'm actually quite a big fan of cricket (just been watching my team, Lancashire do really badly today) but I can only take it in short doses. I don't think I could ever go and watch all five days of a test.

On the baseball thing, I cam over to America a few years ago on holiday and went to watch the San Diego Padres baseball match and from what I could see the crowd were more interested in the guy selling hotdogs than the actual match.

 

[The Stigenator]

10.. is there something new to get out with.. lets list them all out and see:

* Bowled clean
* Caught (all types - behind the wicket or otherwise)
* Stumped by keeper
* Run Out
* Leg Before Wicket (LBW)
* Handling the Ball


ok I am missing a few.. what else is left?

Edit:
As for test games going 4 days.. I never sat all day in front of the TV, but rather had it on and did something else when the crowd roared.. I go check the TV. Definately rivals rule, like India Vs Pakistan, England Vs Australia (Ashes), West Indies Vs South Africa..

But my favorite is still international one days.. fast and easy.. I can handle 50 overs per side easy.

 

[UFGator]

baseball is the best

If I could go back to High school/college years I'd pursue baseball rather than football.

 

[NotoriousJTC]

Basketball (play &amp; watch) then hockey (roller &amp; ice, play &amp; watch)...

I'm into all sports really, but i just dont have the time to play them like i do for basketball, i just go to the driveway for that

 

[Haircut]

OK, you got six ways the four others are:

Hit wicket
Timed out (batsman only gets 2 minutes from the last man leaving the field)
Obstructing a fielder
Hitting the ball twice

 

[The Stigenator]

ah.. I didnt know about the 2 minute rule..

that is why knew of the 9 and not 10.. good to know the rest..

 

[huanaku]

I like playing and watching ... Soccer

Watching: volleyball, basketball, rugby, baseball, football. College sports in general as well.

 

[Squisher]

Hockey
Football
Baseball

 

[bunker]

Playing: Golf

Watching: Hockey then Football

 

[Sugadaddy]

I'm not sure, Hockey or Football. Played both for a few years, but retired now... I don't have time with College.
If I had to chose, it'd probably be hockey.



<< *kat. <-- loves rugby the most >>


nothing better than a girl who can tackle you...

 

[bigdog1218]
