I can't imagine chess would be a riveting watch and anything that you stop in an area but there is a lot going on elsewhere like F1
Women's football.
Not interested in motor sports so don't see the point of a bloke it a faster car that everyone else winning all the time
This is my point dutch! Don't know enough about it to have an informed view and equally don't care. For me it looks like it would always be Hamilton and his mate to win the whole thing every year due to the car, if Hamilton moved team he probably wouldn't win it, if you say its different to that then I would accept your answer as I am sure you are more informed on this topic.I think you'll find it's not quite that simple?
Yeah, I do find it weird keeping quiet at a sports event. For me sport is about endeavour and effort and striving to be the best and therefore I always like to see action in my sports and as a supporter want to be a part of that action.For me, any sport where as a spectator you have to be quiet whilst the event it taking place. Snooker, Tennis, Golf etc. I don't think I could resist the urge to shout out some inane bollocks. Especially the tennis, surrounded by all those awful posh tory voters.
Yep, well that was what prompted the thread.Can't see how people can watch Golf
I like playing both, or at least used to. Still have my golf clubs, but haven't picked up a club in anger for weeks.*Golf or Cricket. Most boring to participate also for me.
Yep, well that was what prompted the thread.
I saw all these people standing there at the Open and thought, do you just stand there all day?
And as I say, it is 18 holes and therefore if you stay at one hole you miss the other 17 and if you follow a single pairing round you miss seeing 99.9% of the competitors taking part.
I think you might be confusing it with the "Sniffathon", Nick!I saw that on the adult channel
Been to the nou camp twice, most recently a couple of months ago. The view up in top tier is like watching ants and you most likely would need oxygen masks after a couple of hours up there.In some football stadiums though you can be up amongst the gods too can't you.
Anyone been to Nou Camp? That top tier looks miles away from the pitch.
Totally agree.Basketball is a good shout, again maybe its because I don't like the sport, but seeing score after score after score surely takes the excitement out of it.
Totally agree.
A goal goes in (or a shot, hoop, putt or whatever it is) and you should be cheering like crazy.
With basketball that excitement and joy is watered down and diluted so much by the constant scoring every few seconds. Takes the excitement right out of it for me.
Scoring a goal should mean something. In football a goal can break many minutes of tension, which then makes it welcomed and cheered so much more vehemently.
How crazy is a score of 110-80?
Sumo wrestling!The most stupid thing about basketball is that the original height of the basket was never designed with such tall players in mind. The game attracts anatomical freaks (as do a few other sports like Volleyball). The height of the basket needs to be raised about 2 feet so that 'dunking' is almost impossible. Unfortunately, this change would then penalize smaller players. I cannot think of any other sport that so favours one particular type of anatomical freak.
