Golf. Its not a sport. Its an activity involving hitting a ball a long way and then looking for it.

Plus, it makes very dull television

Temat: Sports world could do without

Boks.

It could stay as a movie action, so we could see something.
Punches are too fast, and close-ups are not close enough. It is not possible to see the blood or sweat spraying after the punches.

The current state looks to me like 2 idiots are trying to kill flies on eachother's faces and they get angry on each failure.

Thank you! ;) Since the Big Train image has already been used in another thread, I went for Burton.

Water polo. How the hell one can focus on catching the ball when somebody's splashing water on his/her eyes???

Cricket:

Cricket strikes me as being a bloody stupid game.

I used to play as a kid. My grandfather was president of a cricket club, and all my uncles were stalwarts of the team.

I used to watch matches.

Now, being away, it all strikes me as pointless.

A test match lasts for five days and usually ends in a draw. It's like watching paint dry. Even the commentators sound bored.

If anyone wants to waste their life outside an internet forum, then develop an interest in cricket.

Cant explain it. It's just totally absorbing.
I once drove from Edinburgh to Taunton to watch a one-day match.

I don't know. Sun. Tradition. Beer. I used to go every year from Edinburgh to a test match in Birmingham or Nottingham. Team banter. Curry afterwards.

Hardly Beckham or Ronaldo.

I remeber, when I first read "Alice in Wonderland", I was about 10 then, I though that cricket is a very complicated, and very weird game. That it's virtually impossible for the non-British to understand the rules...
(in the book, the game was even more difficult as they played with alive ball that moved all the time which made the Queen furioous, as far as I remember)

edited: and the flamingoes acted as bats, I've finally found the picture!!!
