    Sports you just can't stand to watch

    Pretty self explanatory, what are the sports that you immediately turn from if they show up on tv?

    Golf- fun to play, extremely boring to watch
    Soccer- I love the atmosphere but the actual sport isn't very entertaining to watch
    MLB Baseball- way too many games and not interesting until the playoffs(the same can apply to the NBA season but basketball is more entertaining than baseball)

    And finally....

    Nascar- there are very few things as boring as watching cars go around a track 500 times and I honestly have no idea what the appeal is. Some sports I can understand why people like it even if I don't but it just baffles me that this has any popularity at all. Even during the olympics they never show the whole marathon or long distance races, they show the beginning, cut to the middle a couple times, and then show the end. If a Nascar race was 5 laps I would probably watch it myself but 500 is ridiculous.

    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

    Golf.
    Soccer.
    WNBA or College girls basketball.

    Anything else I don't mind. I use to hate watching Tennis but I actually like to watch it now, but doesn't get first priority over other sports if they are on.

          Can watch any time: MLB, NFL, college football, NBA

          Can watch for tournaments/teams I like/important games but generally relegated to background TV: Golf, college basketball, soccer

          Cannot watch period: auto racing, females playing sports, anything in highschool or below, any games ESPN pretends are sports to pass the time (pool, bowling, poker)

                  I can stomach NASCAR if you treat it like a social event or have something to do on the side. Same with Soccer.

                    Racing, golf, and MMA.

                    Baseball, hockey, and soccer don't interest me but if I get really bored I could get into it.

                      Boxing - I just don't see anything appealing about a sport (and I use the term lightly) where the object is to figuratively and literally beat the other guy senseless.

                      Tennis, golf - Boring to watch.

                          Lots of soccer hate, to be expected I guess.

                          Anyway, there really is no sport that I won't watch. I guess you could say Cricket, but I'm starting to try and learn the rules, it looks interesting.

                            Forgot about that one. I can't stand it either. And the thing is all my friends like it and are crazy about it. Last night I must of read over 20 Facebook statuses about the fight.

                            And then you have the people who pretend to like to fit in and be cool. This girl posted a status last night like, "I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FITE, LETS GET IT!!!!!." When I can guarantee you she has no idea who was fighting. No idea why she is my friend on there.

                              NASCAR if you consider that a sport.

                              I don't like the WNBA but if I turned it on and there was a minute left in a tie game, I might watch the end.
