    Totally dont understand ski jumping, skiing, any ring races (except speedway) . I snowboarding in spring with the flask of brandy in the pocket, but to watch this sport from professionals is dull. Often its just showing of human and technical opportunities with no much excitement.



    I would like to be interested in ice hockey, but North American leagues and KHL, VHL have closed structure without any promotion higher. System of national leagues should have pyramidical structure with chances for any club promote higher no matter what arena they have or budget. Clubs from Europe have promotion to hockey eurocups, but their success without matches with russian clubs from KHL and later with NHL is nothing. Also there are no matches NHL vs KHL. About what i should I worry about in the match of my local club against some China or Uzbekistan based with one-two local chinese or uzbek players in the squad? Anyway we have no chances to promote to KHL taking the first place.
    Also I consider it pretty lame that hockey players from NHL (not unlike NBA players) usually can't take part in the Olympics, seriously?

    I am indifferent to all of them as a spectator (I used to be a sport watcher, nowadays I very rarely watch sports on TV).
    As a player/participant I find the following overrated for various reasons: tennis, handball, basketball, darts, powerlifting, american football, maybe combat sports
    Underrated: table tennis, billiards

    Honestly most sports gets kinda boring after awhile. Nowadays I mostly just follow the results. Especially tennis is super boring compared to how popular it is.

    Most sports are boring to watch.

    I recently watched a video of someone i know cage fighting. I couldn't help but notice how their punches seemed angled to where they didn't really hit the person straight on, it more slid off them and then they rolled around on the ground hugging for awhile. I watched some UFC to compare, and it looks fake to me. There's a lot of hype, too. It reminds me of WWF. Is it fake?

    I love riding my car or my bike but at the same time, I really don't care about Formula 1 or Cycling (it's impossible for me to watch more than 1 lap or 5 min of Tour de France; it's boring)

    I don't like watching American football, rugby, and neutral towards cricket, although games are very long

    But in general, I enjoy sports and I watch a lot of them during Olympics (even the ones than in other years I don't really care, like volley ball, tennis table, judo, decathlon, ...)
    We do not drink Coca-Cola three hours before a match
