Mercury69 3 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 OK, never mind about what your FAVORITE sport is, this poll is all about what the BEST sport to WATCH is...I'll include the major sports and an "other" choice. If you pick "other", please specify what sport. The "other" category will also supply the comedy option. Link to post Share on other sites
doublemeup 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I was the first vote.I'm a Red Sox fan. I don't think I need to explain further. Link to post Share on other sites
FullMontyM1 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I think basketball is almost always fun to watch. Football is a close second. Baseball is something I watch while I'm doing something else, just like golf and spelling bees.Monty Link to post Share on other sites

SAM_Hard8 50 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Football is by far my favorite sport but I have to put hockey as the best sport to watch live (sucks on TV)Also auto racing is great live. Link to post Share on other sites
InsanityCubed 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Lacrosse. NOBODY is sober, including the players. Music playing the whole time, which would normally be distracting, but in this case it just enhances the party atmosphere in the building. Hockey a close second (live of course).

Knighthawks games are just an insane party, so much fun..."Goalie....Goalie...GOALIE...YOU SUCK!!!" Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Can't forget the fights. Lacrosse fights are way too much fun.Only problem with Lacrosse fights is that the equipment is too hard to get off, so they just end up punching each other in the helmet. Hockey Fights are simple, drop the gloves, throw your head forward so your helmet goes flying, good to go. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Basketball easy.The reason is simple, you can see the players and the ball along with everything else thats important as plain as day. It's pure athleticism, skill and teamwork.Football is a good spectator sport, but there is to much time between plays sometimes.Hockey sucks because its a pain to see where the puck is all the time. I would rather watch Lacrosse, exspecially the Duke team (bad joke of the day). I don't watch sports to see fights, if that was the case i'd be a boxing fan. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't watch sports to see fights, if that was the case i'd be a boxing fan.Hockey becomes much easier to follow the more you watch it. I've been watching hockey live and on TV for 15+ years (plus I played for a few years), and my eyes can track that puck better than the camera operators sometimes. They'll pan away from the action thinking that they know where the puck is, and I'll start yelling at the TV because they're cutting away from the action. If you watch the players movements, not the puck, it's much easier to track the action.I don't watch hockey or lacrosse for the fights either, but every now and then I like to see a couple of guys throw down out there.

ford14 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I had to pick "other" and go with MMA events, such as UFC. Fights in the crowds, and if someone has a hometown advantage, the opposing fighters gets absolutely abused. It's like going to hockey to see the players fight or going to NASCAR to see the wrecks, only you're assured of it happening non-stop. Link to post Share on other sites
mk 11 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I like going to baseball and basketball games a lot, but I think the experience of going to a big league baseball stadium is second to none. There's something seriously magical about it. The grass, the smells, sounds, warm summer days... Ahh... Link to post Share on other sites
StrippersNBlow 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hockey is the best live, American football for TV. Link to post Share on other sites
DonkSlayer 1 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Please specify college basketball, NBA is terrible live or on TV.I'm a soccer fan so I find soccer games live or on TV most interesting, but in general you have to give it up to the NFL...and hockey being a close 2nd. Having a good seat at a live NFL game is just as dope as watching one on TV. Link to post Share on other sites

Filesharer 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Rugby's my favourite sport to watch on tv by far. Live it depends how big the ground is because in a large stadium it's hard to see what's going on in the forwards. Link to post Share on other sites

aadams_22 3 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Best game to watch in person is definitely hockey. Football is better seen on televsion. Baseball is the best to listen to on the radio. Link to post Share on other sites

aadams_22 3 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 While I said that hockey is the best to be seen in person, I would take World Series tickets over Stanley Cup tickets anyday...but that's just me. Link to post Share on other sites
