I've never played cricket, and I guess football is okay, but it's not one of my favourites

It's Soccer. Only Europe knows it as Football.
Then why is it called the Australian Football Association? And why is it called futbol (derived from football) in South America?
Face it, the world calls it football, as it rightfully should be called since it is played using feet. The Americans called it soccer because they had already copied rugby and called that one football although you rarely use your feet.
Unfortunately the US has got a stronghold on world media through movies, TV series and news channels that they export all over the world so they are trying to brainwash the world to call our beloved football 'soccer'. I hope this does not happen. It would make more sense if they renamed their 'football' to something else.
To conclude dumbest sports ever is American 'football' and it should not even be called like that.

It's got to be either
Kabaddi, just for being bizarre, or
curling, just for looking bizarre.

Soccer (or European Football) sucks.
1. they score MAYBE 3 goals in what, 90 minutes?
2. they act like they always are getting pushed over, etc.
3. you can only play with your feet, and the occasional headbutt....
this game is BORING

I would say the soccer is the worst sport, but I can't. True, it's pointless where you have a group of sweaty men kicking a ball and nothing else.
However, I'd vote either Curling or perhaps Running to be the worst sport ever.
For all the Nascar haters, I have a favor to ask of you. Go to a race once. It doesn't have to be Nascar, it can be a local dirt track or something and watch it. Yes, racing is boring as hell on tv (unless there's an accident), but watching a race live is way better.
The same goes for Baseball. The fun is to go to a game with a bunch of friends. If you go by yourself, you're missing at least half of the experience in my opinion.

I just tried curling, and I thought it was boring b4, but when I tried it, it was great. Has anybody who said curling sucks actually tried it? Because you might think it's a pretty cool sport once you try it

Nascar is stupid. Really stupid. Almost moronic. Hell, it IS moronic.
American football is also pretty stupid, but people get hurt so it's ok by me.
I like curling, because watching women clean competitively makes me happy.
Baseball is stupid too, ice hockey would be great if you could see the damn puck, basketball is ok, handball is unknown to me, and I like cricket.
I'm going to go for the Air Guitar World Championship. What a bunch of twats.
Oh, and football is the worlds best game, which is why it's the most popular. Its just involves too much knowledge on the part of the spectators to appeal to rednecks.

Running is fun, maybe not the best to watch, but fun to do.

NASCAR, it would be okay if the race track was a little more interesting than a circle

I agree. That's why I like Formula 1 racing more

i dont know why you guys bash soccer so much. they are some of the best athletes in the world.
I think that cricket may be the worst sport. Just looks kinda dumb in my opinion. NASCAR is also absolutely terrible.

I've never seen an amazingly athletic play by a soccer player & the only soccer I watch is the montages of the greatest plays ever

its usually a 90+ minute game of nearly constant running with hardly any break at all. id say you would have to be a pretty good athlete to do that.

Football (ie 2 teams of 11 playing against each other using their feet) is the best sport on the planet. with supplying the best quotes at least. this is my favourite quote -
“To put it in gentleman’s terms if you’ve been out for a night and you’re looking for a young lady and you pull one, some weeks they’re good looking and some weeks they’re not the best. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She weren’t the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much, let’s have a coffee” - ian holloway after a scrappy win. genius.

Our daily football warmup is 1 hour of windsprints, 1 hour of practice, 2 miles, 30 minutes of film, & 1 hour of lifting...& I wouldn't call myself a complete athlete

basketball. i hate it. if you fart near an opponent they yell foul. WTF? a player that's 2m in height and 100 kg in weight asks for a foul if you lay a single finger on him?? WOOS.
american football. steroid pumped dumb asses that are too scared to play rugby. now in rugby you see real manly action no protection no fear.
baseball. stupid stupi stupid. hit a ball wearing tight pants with you steroid pumped bulge horribly pointing out. yeah and why do all baseball players have such big asses?? steroids again??
hockey. absolutely love this one. it's great.
nascar. i don't even know what to say about this

it's so stupid it shocks me people watch it.
wrestling. this is probably the worlds worst sport. don't get me wrong, it's rather fun to watch but only if you take it as a joke.

quite simple...you train your horse for years, work your ass off keeping the both of you in shape, design your routine...especially with the spanish ones you linked to...they practice for life...they get chosen, go to school there, get a horse, and work with it...their performance is incredible...plus, dressage is in the olympics...

i remember him saying that. lmao.
worst sport (if you can call it that) synchronise swimming. what the f*ck is that all about. don`t get me wrong it takes a hell of a lot of practise and shit , but do people really want to sit in the stands and watch it, when most of the action is under water.

i think that i would rather watch
bog snorkelling. if the horses were dancing on ice, then you would have a sport!

The runner up for NASCAR in my book is Soccer, its not the athletes or anything, its just the damn game in general, where the hells the exciment?! sure there was that one dude who headbutted that other guy (which was hella funny) but thats really just about it.
For 90 minutes, these guys pass around the ball for what seems to me as an eternity, at maybe 60 minutes of the game, someone gets lucky enough and scores, the announcer yells GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL, then its back to passing for the rest of the half hour...Ya terrific game
