6. Boxing.
The most fascinating athletes are boxers. The most gentle people on earth are boxers. The greatest authors love boxing. The sport with the greatest historic relationship with politics is boxing.


Besides, football is too violent.

8. Skateboarding
Though I don't really think of it as a sport. I know it is one, but sports make me think of teams and competition. Granted there are skate teams and competitions, but that's a byproduct, not the main focus.

Otherwise, I'm not much of an athlete. To quote Mitch Hedburg, "If I had athletes foot, my first reaction would be: 'that's not my fuckin' foot!'"

10. I just generally find sports boring
I come from a pretty hardcore hockey family though. I'm a bit of a black sheep, haha.

11. Hockey followed closely by football.
I hope when the NHL comes back they don't fuck it up too bad. Bettman is a blight on the sport and has been since he got in. I have a bad feeling that they are going to ruin the game even further than they already have.

13. Horse racing, followed by show jumping
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 09:06 PM by u4ic
I love dressage as well.

I'll also watch fencing and ski jumping if it's on, but don't like the mainstream "pro" sports.

22. Figure Skating.
I know, I know. It's not a sport. HA! Just try doing it and then get back to me. If you think that figure skating judging is corrupt, just look at boxing, a REAL sport.

23. had been baseball for 15 years... but soccer is gaining fast and may
have actually passed baseball in the last year... I don't think anything will ever surpass the feeling I felt when the Sox won it all... but I don't know if there will ever been that intense desire for them or for baseball again. I'm now more of a fanatical red sox fan and just like baseball than a fanatic about both.

As far as soccer/football... a DU group has been sent to skinner and I think we'll have it set up sometime soon... check us out.

Liverpool, You'll Never Walk Alone.
