Re: The Sport Thread!
What's your favourite sport? To do yourself? To watch?
What do you like about this sport?
Which sports do you hate?
Which is the funniest sport?
My favorite sports are College/Professional Basketball, and College/Professional Football.
I'm also into Baseball, but I can't say I'm an avid baseball fan. I only pay attention to it when the season is almost over, especially the Post Season, which to me is very exciting. But I don't consider myself a beseball expert, but I know enough to participate in some sort of discussion about it.
The same applies with tennis, volleyball, boxing, and golf, I'm only fimiliar with the basics of it.
I also enjoy Futbol (Soccer), especially got into it during this recent World Cups. Soccer is relatively difficult to get into if you live in the USA, because they hardly show it on television, so there's less exposure. I'm still learning the sport, so I'm not as expert at it as I'd like to be. But there's no denying that this sport is exciting and fun to watch.
So my specialty is Basketball and American Football. I play them once in a while as a hobby, but I terribly suck at it. I was good enough to be in Varsity League basketball, but I was merely a bench/substitution player. I enjoy playing football, but my small body and lack of physical conditioning make me an unfit player.
I hate sports such as hockey, skateboarding, bicycle tricks, or whatever it's called (BMX?), figure skating, nascar racing, and a few other stuff.
The reason I dislike these sports isn't necessarily because they suck, but because I know little about them. I'm sure if I learn it, I'll appreciate them more.
And last, the funniest sport is Sumo Wrestling (no offense, I don't mean it in a bad way at all). They're just funny to watch, that's all.
