Dumbest Sport You Can Think Of

GreecePwns · Post by **GreecePwns** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 5:15 pm

You know what I really hate? When people try to say a sport is boring by making it simpler than it really is, like "oh, baseball sucks, you just hit the ball and run in a circle." No. All sports require strategy and skill (NASCAR is NOT a sport).

However, basketball is the most boring sport. In basketball, if you score, you still suck because you score 2 out of the 200 points that come after that. At least in other games, scoring does something. Football scores more than 3 goals on plenty of occasions. It's just like any other sport, where good defense leads to low scoring.

Baseball. Anyone wanna watch a guy who is probably on steroids hit a white sphere and run around a diamond? Didn't think so.

Not boring, but just dumb. a) it's just bastardised rugby, and b) FOOTball. FOOTball. FOOTball. I'll leave it at that.

Yeah. Rugby is better than American football.

Curling sucks balls.

That it does. So does golf. Not so much the playing of it, but watching golf on TV sucks big fat hairy testicles.

Yeah golf is pretty stupid too. I also hate hockey. There's always two guys fighting in the middle of the game. Why? Why doesn't the ref stop it? Also, f*ck Canada.

Wow. Good choices.

Kabaddi sounds more or less like Red Rover. Which is a pretty fun game, actually.

I missed this post earlier. I don't know if this - known as the "Scorpion" - counts as "athletic", but it was pretty impressive to me when I saw it. What you won't get from that clip is, if I remember rightly, was that play was already stopped before he did that, so it wasn't really a save, but still.

I would count that as athletic

Before I give the impression of being well-travelled or anything like that, Kabaddi used to be on TV every Saturday morning here quite a few years ago, and to be honest, I quite enjoyed watching it, but I've never had the chance to play it. Now I never actually read that Wiki page I linked, but if I remember rightly, the attacking player (or whatever you'd call him) has to repeat "Kabaddi" over and over again to prove he hasn't drawn breath. That's what I found strange, and it's also strangely mesmerising to listen to, over and over again.

But I'm not sure what Red Rover is. It sounds like it might be a make of car.

Great! Well there goes my fallback career!

Red Rover is a children's game I'd play at recess in elementary school. You just run & try if you can get past the people who are holding hands

Or Russian, Czech, Slovakian, Swedish, Finnish, or from one of the other smaller Eastern Bloc European nations, such as Latvia or Belarus. Hockey is also catching on in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.

But were you hating on it, or loving on it???

Worst sport is either horse racing, frisbee, horseshoe-throwing, competitive eating, pro arm wrestling, or sorcery.
