Golf... without a doubt, even learning about the players and looking at the leaderboard, it's still boring to watch.

I think something highly underrated is darts. It's great fun to watch, because its always in a giant pub with some fat bloke called "Andy" pumping his fist when he does well. Definitely worth checking out (Y)

I have to go with soccer. I can't stand it when they go the whole way up the field and end up passing it backwards over and over until its back to their goalie. It's sooo damn boring.
90 minutes + 40ft wide net = scoreless games?

golf is boring.....
wat abt Chess.....theirs practically no crowd at all....

most exciting, well its damn fun to go to cricket matches here....with all the bands and mexican waves goin on.....football(soccer) is great too....but I must say B-ball doesnt have the worlds most exciting crowd....at least on TV it doesnt.

the moment i saw this thread, i instantly thought of chess. i mean, it's kinda fun to play it sometimes but watching it?

golf is a close second

I hate soccer so much. I don't mean to offend anyone but little fairies prancing around kicking the ball around for 90 minutes and scoring 2 goals the whole time is not entertaining. As for the best, probably basketball but American Football comes close for me.

I hate watching Curling :lol:
Of course watching basketball is great, but I also like darts (my country is the best in it :lol: )
and someone mentioned something like fussball, that's "table soccer" right? or indoor soccer? I'm not sure what he meant (someone up there^^) but I'm addicted to "table soccer"

'foosball' - 'table soccer'

you turn the poles with guys connected to them and kick a little ping-pong like ball.

considering the amount of media coverage it gets, baseball without a doubt.

pitcher adjusts jock, spits, selects pitch. batter adjusts jock, spits, waits for pitch. pitcher pitches, batter swings or not. repeat for 3hrs
Jump.

I can't really sit down and watch test cricket on the tv for an extended period of time....

although when you go to the game it is a lot more interesting because there are distractions (ie. alcohol, drunken crowd games, watching drunken louts taunt opposing players, and you see a few hot chicks not wearing too much, although they need to bring back the beer wenches :cry: ) that allow you not to give a rat's arse if they're only scoring 2 runs an over.....

luckily the last day of test cricket I went to there were 2 centuries scored and McGrath's 1st ever 50, and a lunchtime stop at the german beer hall for a couple of :beer: 's

Best Spectator Sports IMHO:
- Playoff Basketball (NBA, International & especially College)
- Finals Series' Aussie Rules
- World Cup Soccer

Worst Spectator Sports IMHO:
- Baseball
- Cricket (test matches on TV)
- Golf (for the most part)

Cricket is the only sport I know that can go on for 5 days and have one team totally destroy the other team in terms of runs... and you still end up in a draw :?
Golf is really boring to watch.. you can't even see where the ball is.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned women's tennis with russian chicks as best spectator sport yet :lol:
