Ohh i am a huge tennis fan! before i became a soccer fan it was just tennis but now there is more available options when it comes to tv. And i love to play.
Being a football fan i don't really understand the "other football" sports and i dont want to.
I really got obsessed with Volleyball but they only usually show beach volleyball. I prefer the indoor variety.
I dont really like watching golf and cricket, i dont mind playing. I like to watching swimming races as well as on ice hockey when they beat each other up thats pretty funny.
But Soccer and tennis all the way!

Love Baseball and American football. I am also the manager/player of a softball team.

I love to play basketball, but I can't stand the NBA anymore. All it is, is a gimick. The season's too long and the players I think might be mentally ********. How hard is it to learn how to speak english if you are from the US?

Well hockey and soccer have a lot in common save for how it works and most American like real violence, the diving in soccer turns a lot of people off here. In hockey there is a lot of fighting, real fighting, fist fight which go on and on, so it gets people all excited; and beside hockey isn't really that big here, it started to get bigger a couple of years ago, but it's fallen of recently. For the most part it's only popular where it's cold. You just see it so much beause there are more people on the East (where it's cold) so anything on the East coast gets more media exposure because there are more people there. It's all about the money.

Racing I don't get. In waiting for the bus every morning I watch cars drive by, (it's not that exciting to watch cars drive by, actually it really boring) even when they are going fast. So NASCAR makes no sence to me. I've been to a couple of F-1 races which were kinda cool. It's the only sporting even I've every been to where the smallest beer you could buy was a 24oz. Bud or Bud light can, either that or the big cans of Fosters ;)

I swear i shouldn't have been born in Aussie land - i dont watch cricket, any rugby stuff never been to a game and don't plan to. I feel kind of bad seeing how you guys are all into it and i have no idea :(
I agree with the violence thing thats why Wrestling is so popular as well. I used to like it but now all they do is talk and drag everything out and its all bull. I like the way wrestling used to be....

Many people don't like Cricket in Australia, infact... half of my friends don't.

I'm not really into rugby, it's just the raiders are doing well, and they are my city. It doesn't happen very often, so i like to live it up!

I mean... there is no canberra soccer team, no canberra AFL team, a shit basketball team, and the brumbies are not doing well.

what else is there?

I agree with you. i mean racing it's like the most boring sport ever.
Where i live it's a very small city and we have a racing stadium that Nascar use every year and by the way it will be this week-end (30-01),
it's crasy of people, about more 20000 people will came to the race from every where to seat in a hot sun and wacth some stupid car going around and around. After the race their skin are red. i do not even no why so many people like racing. :conf: :conf:
