Most watched uninteresting sports.

Here are my own selections:-

Tennis. (very boring)
Snooker (boring)
Bowling (not 10-pin)
Rugby (personal reasons)
Athletics (with some reservations)
Show jumping (for the upper classes only)

No doubt I'll take some slating on my own individual choices, but in general there are far too few sports that are worth watching on TV.

I'm not looking forward to the mess up that will be made by the Olympic Games coverage in 2012.
Conkers? Cats cradle? Hopscotch? The mind boggles.

Okay .... I am waaaay out of my comfort zone with any sport ... since I despise them all with equal measure ... I am after all, an artisan ... but here's what I would ditch from the Olympic Games.

Synchronized swimming? (or drowning to music)
Ice Dance? (sissy stuff)
Beach Volleyball? (or girl-ogling as it's known amongst real men)
Ping-pong? (a bit of a racket)
That daft Scottish sport in which the players sweep an ice rink with brooms.

The following sports, though not contested in the Olympic Games, are recognized as Olympic sports by the IOC ...

Air sports (wtf?)
Bandy (ditto)
Baseball (Rounders)
Billiard sports (Pool with numbers?)
Boules (do they mean marbles?)
Bowling (you have to be nearly 70)
Bridge (ditto)
Chess (I hate chess)
Climbing (for 10 year olds)
Cricket (f*** off!)
Dance (even more f*** off!)
Golf (a good walk ruined)
Karate (needs to get the chop!)
Korfball (have your Veno's at the ready)
Lifesaving (not if it means getting in the water)
Motorcycle sport (Yeah ... okay ... can I have a Harley-Davidson?)
Netball (anyone want to see girls in navy blue knickers?)
Orienteering (Is it going to China again??)
Pelote Basque (Will the terrorists agree?)
Polo (Can't see a sport with a mint with a hole!)
Powerboating (Yeah ... if it goes fast, I'll 'ave it!!!)
Racquetball (pardon? What is that?)
Roller sports (who supplies the paints?)
Rugby (nae chance)
Softball (Huh?)
Squash (Don't they get supplied with Robinson's?)
Sumo (All America Obese Bastards Challenge Cup?)
Surfing (Only for gay Beach Boys!)
Tug of war (Oh yeah .... if it's girls only!)
Underwater sports (Oh yeah .... if it's gills only!)
Water skiing (Okay ... I like this one too!)
Wushu (Washisthis??)

And football has to go. Too much damn fitbaw!!!

And boxing ... it's not a sport!!!
