All motor racing
Rugby
All American sports
In fact, all sports apart from football, cricket and occasionally tennis. Oh and Aussie rules, I quite like that.

Tennis irritates the feck out of me, especially Wimbledon when there is a useless Brit with a remote chance of winning a game and all you see on the news are a load of pillocks bedecked in flags. All the players come across as right humourless arrogant tossers too.

Basketball (sheer bloody purgatory)
Ice hockey (you can never see the puck* so it looks like a load of skaters brawling FFS)
Motor cycle racing (although I'm happy that some actually confine their activities to the track and don't try to kill themselves and other road users in the Pennines).
Professional Athletics - drug-fuelled mutants trying to beat the testers
Rugby (goes without saying - pointless activity for bad footballers)
* the same can be said of televised squash where you never see the ball. However, as an ex-squash player I actually understand what is going on so I don't mind watching the odd game although I'd not make a habit of it.

Snooker, Darts and any other pub game. Horse Racing. Says the man with a picture of a horse racing trainer plying his trade as his avatar!  While not having any shred of athleticism, darts can throw up some truely exciting matches. The World Champs over Xmas always has more edge of your seat moments than 2 or 3 Premier League seasons. |

I think we can largely agree on basketball, at least..apart from that:
baseball
horseracing (although it'd probably be fine if I was there)
golf (nowadays, I used to be able to watch it, but it just doesn't do anything for me now)

I don't particularly enjoy motorcycle racing when it's going well, but motorcycle crashing (which seems to occur most of the time) is quite exciting! |

On TV perhaps. On Pennine roads when you are coming the other way, somewhat less so!

What is interesting is how everyones choices seem to differ. With the one exception of basketball.
I can appreciate that there is skill involved, but it seems to encourage the freaks of nature, who are about seven feet tall and the can't be right.
