Good morning everyone


There's 2 questions today, both based on sports.

1. What is your favorite sport to watch?
2. What is your favorite sport to play?


My favorite sport to watch is a tie between football and hockey (typical Canadian guy eh?
)

My favorite sport to play is ultimate frisbee. A few of my cousins play it and introduced it to me about a year ago and I've been hooked ever since.

I used to love watching the Triple Crown, not because I like racing, but I love horses. Then Ruffian died on the track, and Barbaro. I can't watch anymore.
Neither DH and I like sports. He would rather be in his woodworking shop.

I like to play vollyball and badminten.

#1 is tough, because I like watching football, especially our Riders but after a moment's thought, even a Rider game takes a back seat to harness racing. Given free Rider tickets or a free ride to the races even if it is in Yorkton, the horses would win

#2 is easy - until recently I was an active participant in racing but I can't drive distances anymore, so watch Race Night on The Score as a bad substitute. Oh well, maybe I will see my friend's good 3 year old race there some Monday night.

Watching: Baseball, during baseball season (Mets)
Football during football season (Vikings)

Playing: I don't know if it's considered "playing", but my sport of choice to do is running. I also throw (play catch) with my boyfriend every once in awhile.

Not a sports fan in the slightest. I grew up with a father that gets too into it and a was in a school that only cared about sports to the point of letting academics suffer. It's created a strong aversion.

I done a little of that when I was a kid.
Because I already had neck problems back then I couldn't shoot a right handed bow even though I'm right handed.
I was very steady and accurate with a left handed one, though.
Couldn't do it now because my neck is much worse.

The only sport I watch at all is drag racing, and not much of that. When it comes to sports, I would literally rather watch paint dry than watch a sport on TV.

Just in passing, Ernest Hemingway said that the only two real sports are car racing and big-game hunting. Everything else is a game. I would strike the second of the two he mentioned. That only leaves one!

I hate watching sports. I used to like going to baseball games when I was a kid, but I haven't gone in probably 15 years.

I don't really like playing sports either.

I'm not really a sports fan at all, but I do enjoy watching baseball when it and I happen to be in the same place.

As for playing, I was about to say there's nothing I'm interested in playing -- until someone mentioned bowling. I can enjoy that on occasion, but it's more an excuse for a social occasion than (even slightly) serious sport.
