      Golf.
      Caber throwing.
      Formula 1.
      That poxy floor exercise thing in the Olympics.
      Skateboarding.
      Agree on all counts.

      Cricket is quality, but there's no point trying to convince people. You either get it or you don't.

      Never watched cricket in my life. But it seems weird, so long.

      I don't know how someone can enjoy watching golf. Playing might be nice, I dont know (never did), but watching? I always fall asleep when I try.

      Playing golf is decent. Played today for the first time in years!

      Watching it is awful.

      Much prefer playing cricket to watching it.

      As I said in another thread earlier today, I can't really get my head around any sport other than footy.

      I see the point in Formula 1, I just don't really watch it. I love cars but F1 is won in a wind tunnel, not on the track. Other motorsports are that little bit more raw, which I like. Probably because the cars are much easier to relate to as well.

      And as much as I acknowledge the skills involved in skateboarding, BMX, rollerskating, surfing, boogy boarding, and so on, they don't really do it for me as sports. More like showing off, with judges watching. Like Britain's Got Talent really.

      And personally, probably much to the annoyance of other posters, I'm not feeling the cricket thing.

      I'm definately much more into collective sports than individuals. I like to see players acting together, tactics, team work, all that stuff. The individual sport I like the most is probably Tennis, but I'm not the biggest fan anyway.

      Love F1, can see how people won't like watching it though. Either something you like or don't.

      Most pointless sport? Baseball...basically glorified Rounders!

      Some sports might suck gigantic straws when you have to watch it, but are awesome to actually participate in, F1 seems a great example here.

      Baseball. Many a time a game of Major League Baseball overruns on ESPN American when Im wanting to watch ice hockey so Ive watched a fair bit unfortunately. Tedious. F**k all happens and even when it does for some reason most of the time its some form of foul ball.

      F**k off baseball. Making me miss hockey.

      Darts, golf, poker, american football and basketball all deserve honourable mentions in terms of a spectator sport. No joke one time a few years ago when I had trouble sleeping I used to watch golf alot because it always made me fall asleep.

      Don't like the baseball hate :D It is one that you either get or you don't, but it's good.

      I think 'pointless sports' is a bit of a stupid topic if im honest. I think that a lot of the ones in here mentioned are just ones people don't like - that doesn't make them pointless.

      Does fox hunting count as a sport? ??? Thats a horrific sport. You'd think with all that money, rich folk would be able to find something a bit better to do then follow dogs around as they tear other innocent creatures to shreds.

      Okay - i take back what i said before. If that is indeed a sport, then that IS pointless.

      Cricket when England have to play Australia.

      It's so pointless because you know England are gonna win with ease. There's no contest. ;)
