Most boring sport?

[I-57/Route 66 Fan]

As a fan of pretty much every sport listed above I would have to say Weightlifting.

Actually pretty intense once you get to the demonic grandmas.

I hope it counts the clicks and isn't just going off vibes.

I don't typically watch sports, but I've noticed at the gym that ESPN2 has some stuff that really shouldn't be on a channel with either "Entertainment" or "Sports" in the name.  For example, the other day, there was a cornhole competition on.  With corporate sponsors.  That sport is neither a sport nor entertaining.

Next day, I told my kids that you can tell something isn't a real sport when one of the competitors is wearing blue jeans.

Cornhole is still a correct step towards athletics versus that Poker tournament craze ESPN used to be all about twenty years ago.

For what it's worth, its creator, Orteil (yes, Toe) is strongly against AI.

I would rather watch 50 cornhole matches than one hour of weightlifting.

Poker is still fun though, except for when you lose.

Poker can be a lot of fun to play.  Outside of a scene in Casino Royale I have never enjoyed watching it.

Tetris on Game Boy is fun, but I wouldn't call it a sport.

Hockey, soccer, golf.

Rounders is the most fascinatingly bad movie I've ever seen.  It looks like it has all the parts of a great movie and it just is the opposite.

Hockey

Hockey is awesome, not boring at all.  It's even better when I can actually keep track of the puck.

Rounders had a lot of name brand actors in it which barely cover up a bad-to-mediocre movie.

Spring 2020 I was absolutely starved for live sports. NASCAR was the first thing that came back and despite never having been a fan during pre-COVD time, I decided to give it a try. I couldn't make it 30 minutes and I lost interest.

Hockey is amazing in person. The puck is so much easier to see when you are sitting in an arena.  TV doesn't convey the speed and the impacts in the game well either.

I voted soccer, but soccer and golf are pretty much 1A and 1B for sports that are boring. Baseball is probably my 2nd favorite to watch. Fishing can be fun, even if it gets a little bit sensationalized. I get a good laugh out of some of the reactions to catching a fish, which are obviously overdone for the camera. The others I can't say I've ever wanted to watch enough to say.

I am surprised people find cheerleading interesting?

I don't find the "sport" per se to be the interesting part about it on the professional level.

To be honest, I really don't get the appeal of soccer. I understand it's a global sport and more deeply ingrained in non-US cultures, but the scoring is slow and the matches are long. Compare that to something like basketball, where there's several scoring attempts being made in a single minute and a constant back-and-forth growth of each team's point total, which keeps you tuned in and paying attention to each player's movements and performance from start to finish. I like watching a game where the result could tip in either team's favor throughout the match.

As someone who grew up with an equestrian in the family, boy is dressage boring to watch. I know it takes a lot of training and talent on the part of both the horse and the rider, but there's not a lot of excitement. (And before anyone says it's not a sport, it's an Olympic event, so take it up with the IOC.)

Also, I've been watching the World Cup, and I have to disagree with all the people saying soccer because it's been pretty exciting. Like a lot of Americans, I mostly follow soccer when either World Cup is happening, but still.

A regulation soccer game fits neatly into a 2-hour window, whereas a Yankees-Red Sox baseball game is only short if it ends in less than 4 hours.
