cricket, rugby, marathons and some of your list, apart from darts and poker
im guessing a few folk will probably say snooker -
I'd agree, in fact I wouldn't even class a lotta them as 'sports'.
-
Snooker is boring to watch but i enjoy playing it... Gotta add Cricket too thats just bollocks
-
Baseball and chess. To watch. Not to play.
-
1.cricket - I haven't watched in years but used to enjoy it in the days of Botham and Gower etc.
2. darts - I can actually watch darts and pretty much enjoy it.
3. american football - Not a chance. Dreadful game
4. bowls - Dire to watch. To play as you say not bad. Ten pin is the same.
5.curling - Bowls on ice, Never likely to play it either
6. Formula 1-too long
7. marathons - Yawwwwn
8. horse racing-unless your betting - why else would you watch it?
9.poker - Never. My mate watches that!
10.sailing - Didnt' know about this one lol
Others include - Baseball, Swimming, Skiing, Boxing unless it's Tyson v Bruno lol,
The best 5 to watch.
Football
Snooker
Tennis
Rugby (if Scotland or England play)
Golf -
american football and baseball. cant understand why people would watch them. stop start the whole 5 hours there on for.
-
I would put Golf way up the list too
-
No sports really bore me. Every sport has its likeable aspects.
If I was about to die and had to make a choice of which sport I'd watch, it'd probably go:
1. Hurling
2. Rugby (union, of course)
3. Soccer
4. Football
5. Golf -

Cricket:31:
I have to do it in PE, I'd never done it in my life and didn't have a clue what to do, just stood there. When it was my turn to bowl I was told by the teacher, "You're Scottish, you'll never be good at cricket." All the English and Indian boys love it but I just will never understand.
I don't know how some people can sit and watch hours of guys driving round a track. I remember a newspaper columnist criticized Formula 1 for be being boring and there was a letter in the paper the next day. The letter said something along the lines of, "I would rather take my family to a Grand Prix than a football match. I can walk around and enjoy the day, eat at a nice restaurant without any young idiots running around the palce. What's the point in going to a football match with a greasy pie, bovril, in and out in 90 minutes with hooligans shouting and swearing."
I was just thinking so he goes to the Grand Prix not to watch it but to have a nice day, what the *! Then critizing people for going to watch a sport, support there team with a good atmosphere.
Simple sports, with simple rules are the best to play and the best to watch. Strangely, I have seen chess in the sports section of the Gulf News.
