What is the shittest sport ever invented?

[Dirty Sanchez]

I think that we need to examine what counts as a "sport".
I think that for something to be defined as a sport, you have to have someone/team trying to stop you from achieving something, all while you are trying to stop them from achieving the same thing.
Under this definition, football and rugby are sports. Golf, on the other hand, is a game/athletic event because you are effectively playing yourself. Also, Tiddlywinks is a game, and NASCAR and cycling falls in to the skill based/athletic events category - both are absolutely not sports.
For me the shittest sport is boxing. It's the easiest sport to fix.

 

[Cerberus]

Look, for fucks sake, It's cricket. Fucking big steaming pile of shite. If you want to kill yourself then watch cricket it will speed up the process.

 

[Red_Water]

Hockey has to be up there. I mean, what is the fekin point?

 

[Squiggles]

Yeah, Nascar and Sailing are good shouts.

I struggle with Ice Hockey. I can never see who's got the bloody puck.

 

[Fallon]

Dodgeball, made for a fairly entertaining film but what a shite sport.

Oh and how Horse Racing can be near the top of anybody's list is astonishing.

 

[Portly]

Billiards is pretty dull if you have ever tried it!

 

[Athens]

Pocket billiards can be good for a laugh though...

 

[Red Mullet]

Sailing is great fun to participate in though.

*Dons sailing cap*

Agrees

 

[Rouge Penguin]

Cricket is like red wine, it's shit when you're young and not from public school.

The worst has to be Nordic winter events like biathlon. Walkyski for 700 miles in a circle, shot an ait rifle and ski another 700 miles. No wonder they're all alchys and suicidal.

 

[refugee]

Anything with a horse (except jousting, as it's pretty badass)

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Gurning

 

[Jack D Rips]

Tug o' War

 

[Comical Aly]

Aussie Rules anyone? My missus is from Melbourne and they're nuts for it but I don't get it at all. It's like something you play at school and they pack the MCG for the finals at least

 

[nealmac]

Aussie Rules is fucking magnificent to watch. However, maybe it's because it's so similar to GAA football.

 

[Dahuge]

Kabaddi - what the fuck!

 

[Leo]

Diving

 

[peterhague]

I keep reading this as 'wanking' on the preview of this thread, & thinking, 'That's a sport? Cool, I can do that'

So you *can't* do walking?

Too much wanking?

I stand corrected. Thank you. What is this "GAA"? Sounds like I'd really love that too.

 

[nealmac]

Gaelic Athletic Association football. The national sport of Ireland. YouTube it.

 

[Athens]

I stand corrected. Thank you. What is this "GAA"? Sounds like I'd really love that too.

Have you not heard of the compromise rules? Ireland fields a team of Gaelic football players against a team of Australian rules players and they beat the shite out of each other for a couple of matches.

I was going to mention this too, but I figured I'd let Gaelic football sink in first.

 

[Red_Water]

Anyone mentioned Basketball? That's some bollocks right there, looks easy. Also too many blacks.

 

[nealmac]

And tall people. I fucking hate tall people.

 

[Red_Water]

And tall people. I fucking hate tall people.

Tallness is a disability, unless you're a midget in which case it's something to aspire for.

In a just world basketball would be part of the paralympics - playing it outside of the paralympics would be illegal.

Curling

Curling, other than at the olympics and such, is a bunch of drunk upstaters or Canadians who are trying to collaborate on ice. It's hilarious, but more of a past time than a sport.

It's extreme floor sweeping

 

[Farkmaster]

It's getting drunk and attempting to achieve a meaningless task, on ice. It's a really fun amateur activity that makes sense in a tiny little subculture of the world. If you went curling with some friends I can guarantee you you'd end up laughing your ass off.

 

[Quickstart]

darts
cricket
horse racing
nascar
table tennis
badminton
squash
handball
polo
water polo

 

[Farkmaster]

Squash is amazing, it's racquetball that's shit.

Yea, I can get that all right Fark.
It's a bit like cow tipping on ice.
Not a sport.
