Golf is the most boring sport to watch IMO. It’s not so bad when your playing, but I haven’t played for years.

I don’t really watch formula 1 either, but I imagine some might have a morbid fascination with crashes and this might make it less boring.

For me there’s lots of boring sports cause I’m not a sports guy. Cross country skiing is insanely boring to watch. I remember watching it as a kid and it has been something I relate to the word boredom. It’s popular in my country and I believe we are top in the world, but yeah

Honestly I think people watch nascar too see people crash there vehicles it’s the only reason I can think of and people could possibly DIE because of it for someone else’s enjoyment I hate it

I’m not a big hockey fan but a playoff final for example can be pretty cool. Literally never seen a full game but I saw the end of one once and got why people watch it. Even more boring imo is basketball

Oh am a total f1 fanboy. But I do know where you are coming from. I used to find it dull dull dull.

Wasn’t till I started watching f1 chat shows and strategy shows. Slow and steady I started getting an appreciation of the many different ‘micro-competitions’ within a single race.

Now, like our friend @POET says, I love the sport and never get bored.

But, to reiterate, I totally see where folk who find it dull are coming from

It may make more sense if you know the rules and I don’t. Also, they don’t fight enough. I have seen Slap Shot with Paul Newman and I expect more fighting.

I once saw a documentary on how f1s are made. They actually make them so they break apart easily upon impact to keep the driver safe I think. The carbon fiber flies off and takes most of the impact of the crash so it like dissipates the energy

I personally enjoy F1 a lot. It is my favorite racing sport league. It’s a lot more exciting than just left turns in NASCAR. Plus the mechanics intrigue me and the driving is extremely hard, so that is exciting. And as for crashes, they’re a part of the sport, and no one gets hurt nowadays… hardly at least.

Yeah I think f1 cars pioneered ‘crumple zones’. A lot of normal road cars use this technology now

I voted yes but then I voted no because I remembered the people who in the pit work on the wheels that sort of interesting

I think the annual bubble gum competition is quite boring. I even spent the $59.99 Pay Per View to watch the thing. Never again.

Running 10k or marathons are far more boring to watch in my opinion.

Golf is a complete snooze fest

Curling is not very exciting to watch. Not even if colorful pants are worn. :smile:
