What's your game, then?
If you could only watch one sport ever again, what would it be? My brother would pick Formula One, I've got several mates I know would pick cricket, and a South African who would pick rugby. Personally I like football the best.

How about you?

Despite the wave after wave of crushing disappointment it has offered of late.

Plus it's an excuse to go to the pub.

Mud Wrestling.
Is that a sport?

as I quite like jelly wrestling.

Rugby also offers the perfect excuse to go to the pub.
Irish rugby at the moment is kickarse what with us winning the Six Nations and having Leinster in the Heineken Cup Final on 23rd May - watch it!

I just don't like any sport that much. Fun to watch occasionally. But not keen on any.

I used to go every week with my Dad when I were a lad.

The smell is quite intoxicating and brings back fond memories.

Or 'extreme' sports events like Gravity Games and X Games.

I pretty much hate all other televised sport, but especially football.

I vote for 'none' as well.

In fact the idea of never having to witness any form of sport ever again fills me with joy.

In truth it's not so much the sports themselves (which I regard as merely pointless and a bit silly) but the associated 'culture'. I can't abide it. I've never been a joiner-in (symptomatic of an overarching and richly undeserved superiority complex), and nothing screams 'herd' to me more than the torrents of gibbering simpletons that plague the streets surrounding (particularly) football matches.

The idea of 'we got three goals' etc also annoys and amuses me in equal measures (I've crapped on about this in QOTWs before). WE? What part did you play, you fat cunt?

Sorry if makes me a cock of epic proportions but I used to live in Highbury so I have my own special reasons for feeling like this *shudders*

Ive had this debate a few times with my mates... Golf and F1 came in close second.

I have been to a single MMA training session, basically what they do in UFC. Was the most homosexual experience of my life... Despite myself I couldn't help making jokes, the muscle bound clientele were not best pleased and I got a pretty sound beating that day... Havent walked properly since

I'd say freestyle skiing but as I get to watch that while I do it that'd be a waste.

Otherwise it'd be a motorsport of some kind but I can't decide which.

It may look like they're just lying there grunting, but I used to watch it with two guys who knew a fair bit about jiu jitsu, and they were pointing out to me the various ways each combatant were shifting positions, weight and grip in order to get the upper hand.

I like the standup stuff, it's more what I learnt, but I now find the groundwork stuff fascinating. You can see a gifted practitioner set up a less-knowledgeable opponent, and then they flip them round into a choke or submission hold.

I've seen a guy being pinned down by a standing opponent, the standing guy was just wailing on the downed guy, who then twitched suddenly, before the standing guy started tapping the cage walls frantically. Whilst the downed guy looked like he was in a very bad position, he'd set the other guy up, caught his arm, adjusted his weight, and nearly snapped the arm in two!

I think Captain V must be trying to suppress the memories
of the times he was touched by Kaol. It's ok, V. You're going to be alright, he can't hurt you anymore.

Shhh.... it's ok to cry.
