I'm OK with one day or 20/20.

 

[Rodcx500z]

I to like 20-20 or the hundred

 

[Clint]

I can't think of a sport I like.

 

[Druss]

I can't stand cricket, almost but not quite as soul destroyingly boring as formula one.

I do like to watch Wimbledon, but sports wise that's about it.

Go Patriots. Oh hang on, they don't win games anymore

Cheers Tom

I with the majority on American Football, basically rugby for wusses, afraid of getting a bit hurt

I'll admit I don't know much about it and don't really have a interest in following it but the odd time I've tried to watch it the whole game just seems overly complicated and there's too much faffing around, just get on with the game FFS

Cricket on the other hand, any game that give you an excuse to sit around in the sun (ok English weather a given), for up to 5 days drinking and eating sausages rolls gets my vote any day. And yes if we're putting one over on those dirty Aussies then better still Best spectator sport ever.

I did happen to be in New York one year at the culmination of the "World Series" of baseball, it was the NY Yankees and Mets in the final. Started to understand the game a bit, there are tactics and so on. This game also drags on a bit so allows plenty of time for beer and hotdogs. Wasn't converted though.

Baseball (another sport I enjoy) has changed somewhat in the last couple of years.
It was getting a bit like cricket with people hanging around waiting for a ball to be thrown.

By making a couple of changes around the length of time between pitching and changes between innings (and a couple of other minor things), they instantly knocked nearly half an hour off each game. The average is now 2 hours 30 from 3 hours in 2022.

As an aside, American Football isn't for wusses. There are far more serious injuries, particularly with head and neck, than any other sport.
It's the highest sport for causing CTE outside of boxing.

Perhaps try Ice Hockey.

I used to like ice hockey is it still on the free channels?

That was discussed in the video because they are padded up they throw themselves into tackles a lot harder than they would without them which causes injury,

Sadly not. Being fairly fringe in the UK, the main channels moved away from it.
Freesports did for a while alongside their paid-for Premier Sports. It became viaplay and then went out of business.

Premier Sports then came back out the back of it, but it's a pay-channel and they no longer have any rights to UK Ice hockey.
