What's the worst sport?
Jul 8, 2019, 8:07 PM
|

In your opinion? Give legit good reasons. I don't do this lightly as I generally have a respect and like for most sports.
I have to say cricket. I once watched a cricket World Cup match between India and Sri Lanka and let me tell you I've never enjoyed a sporting experience less. The skill required to bowl and hit is far lower than what's required in baseball, it's extremely slow, very anti-climatic in the way it's scored.
Honorable mentions: lacrosse, netball,

I’m not sure what my worst sport is right off, but I’ve put a lot of effort in trying to like NASCAR over the years. I finally gave up.

It has gotten to the point where the filming of "Days of Thunder" was a more legitimate sport.

Rugby is the worst in my opinion. I’ve watched it numerous times and can’t figure out the rules. That means the rules are incredible arbitrary.
Cricket is much more enjoyable to watch than rugby.

Soccer isn't necessarily the worst sport, but their timekeeping system is the dumbest in all of sports!

who play them. I don’t, however, respect being lectured to by fans of any sport on why I should like their sport more. That’s nothing more than gaslighting. Don’t be surprised when people respond negatively to it.

showing the hole cards has been a thing in poker tv since like 2004.
Obviously it's on a 30 minute delay though.
Also as much as I like it and follow it, it's not a sport since physical ability or skill does not determine the outcome.

Field Hockey.
Women use stupid stubby looking wooden clubs while smacking a round rubber ball across a bumpy grass field.

I consider anything where a physical action determines the winner a sport. Things where the mind or machine determines the winner are not sports. They are competitions.

I always called that 'race walking', and speed walking is just walking fast. Race walking is an art. I used to love to do that as a teen, and could race walk as fast as some could run. It's funny to watch IMO. At 69, I have trouble doing that for more than a few seconds.

Two guys push and then just hang out, but Bobsled in general is absurd.

It’s like a tiddy bumping stalemate watching the fairies kick the ball back and forth and struggle to get a shot at the goal.

Some good suggestions above, including Nascar, Hockey and that dancing with ribbons thing. Also, honourable mention to sports such as Netball and Basketball, but ..............
Without doubt the worst sport in the world, and you can google it for proof, is Kabaddi.
