Nightcrawler Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Cricket, baseball and darts (if you can call darts a sport) Oh and golf (watching, not playing)
coxyhog Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 American football,baseball,basketball,ice hockey,athletics,show jumping,darts....horse racing on tv but attending totally different. We lived about 4 miles from Newmarket for around 3 years & because I didn't like horse racing on tv I didn't go.The missus certainly didn't want to go. Since been to Chester races a couple of times & Glorious Goodwood & it was brilliant.Especially Goodwood as I got the first 5 winners.

Horizondave Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 I probably only watch football, can't really think of any other sport that interests me. There are sports that I will immediately turn to another channel if they are on, horse racing and golf come to mind.
Nickrock Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 All of the above and pretty much any sport except for rugby

john1000 Posted November 27, 2020 Author Posted November 27, 2020 Some sports I know little about but were on TV while I was doing something else, have sparked some interest. Volleyball and handball.

In the current situation whilst we can't attend live events, watching most sports on TV wins hands down over the vast majority of the shite on TV. Afternoon racing done, looking forward to the T20 now🙂. Going to draw the line at Palace v Newcastle later, that could be pretty grim admittedly . 1
galenkia Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Cycling, swimming and long distance running are 3 off the top of my head. Could add plenty more.

AJSP Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Formula 1 and Sailing are tough to watch. an obscure sport I occasionally like is curling...🤔🤔 sorry for TF.

From the 5 Nations Rugby, Test Cricket, Wimbledon Tennis, The Derby & The National Darts, Snooker, FA Cup Football, Motor Racing- hell we even watched wrestling on ITV😄 1

Stillearly Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Just thinking about C4 when that first started , they gave us coverage of NFL , but they also regularly broadcast Sumo wresting, I used to know all the big names ... even remember they broadcast series's of Kabaddi from India .... as I said earlier there's not much I won't watch 555
