Gone Gonzo Posts: 2019 Joined: 25 Jun 2008 | It's hard to say, but my favourite to do is Judo, if that counts. If combat sports & motor sports don't count, then my favourite to play is Football. I have absolutely no interest in watching it or the professional game, but it's good fun to play with your mates. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2787 Joined: 5 Aug 2008 | Sports? What are sports? *wiki search* Ah, I see. Sports are those silly games, that the meatheads at my school play. I have no time for "sports", not when their are important games to play, and anime to watch. Sports HA. In all seriousness, sports aren't really my thing. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1087 Joined: 25 May 2008 | Basketball. I just love playing it. Everytime I'm in the presence of a basketball court and a ball I go all hyper and I need to play. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2906 Joined: 10 Apr 2008 | I really should have put 'martial arts' on the poll -- or at least, "the ways of the ninja" -- that would have appealed to a huge group of gamers |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2599 Joined: 6 Jun 2008 | Or you could put "none of the above thanks, I want to be useful to society". If I had to pick a sport, I would go with Kendo. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1256 Joined: 12 Aug 2008 | Boxing. I like hitting people, what more can I say? But my favourite to watch has to be Rugby while at someone else's BBQ. After all, I'm one generic Kiwi bloke. |

What governing body oversees competitive sex, and what kind of rules are there? I could see this falling into a similar style of scoring as couple ice skating in the Olympics. |

I'm not sure. I believe a number of broadcast partners have viewer-judge systems with a 5-star rating attached. And comments. I'm not sure if there is an overarching body though. |
On the Record Posts: 5173 Joined: 3 Mar 2008 | Tennis for me. Although, there is always a place in my heart for Tenpin bowling. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2236 Joined: 16 Aug 2008 | my favorite sport, although i've never done it, is snowboarding. it looks soooo much fun. as for sports i've done, badminton. i play every monday at 12 (ooh soon) and it's great fun. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4601 Joined: 25 Feb 2008 | Cycling! Why is there an option for Golf but not cycling?! Golf isn't even a sport, you can do it in cordoroy trousers for crying out loud! Anything where the world's best walk around in Polo shirts and expensive trousers isn't a sport, it's a game and a horrifically dull one at that... ... In case you're wondering, the local golf club repeatedly tries to get cyclists barred from the land near and between their precious golf course. Most of which is dense woodland literally filled with trails built by local MTB and BMX riders. |

I used to dominate all when i was younger at swimming. I have the unfair advantage of freakishly wide feet though. Was alright at long distance running too. I play quite a bit of Badminton at the moment, which is good fun. Tennis but quicker. We also play a few variants, allowing to header, or volley the shuttle back, or the two/three shuttlecocks in the air at the same time version. I like to watch football, but generally i'm pretty poor at actually playing it. |

This isn't a "what's the best sport" thread - just a "what's your favorite" thread. Then maybe we can get an impartial indication as to which sport is liked by most people.
Mine? Rugby Union. My Grandfather was a Wallabie.
