What is your favorite sport and why?

I like to swim. I like to watch hockey and baseball and sometimes even play baseball if I'm feeling really extroverted. Soccer's pretty cool too. And stuff.

eXtreme sports. I think the idea of people flying through the air on skateboards or rollerblades is amazing.

I haven't really been a sports fan since the Celtics were good.

I love watching baseball and playing golf. Golf is great exercise--especially if you walk the course. However, there's something about watching a baseball game on TV or even better in the stadium!

NRL, Rugby League, the greatest game of all...that is until Rupert Murdoch came along…

I enjoy walking when I can, but my favorite sport is people watching.

My favorate sport is football, as long as they leave the violence on the field. I just have watched it for as long as I can remember, that is why it is my favorite sport.

Baseball, because it reminds me of summertime and my fiancee.  And I also love to watch it.

I don't really have a favorite sport. Although, if I had to choose, Hockey is pretty fun to watch. I also used to keep score for a softball team (local league) and that was a lot of fun too.

Sports make you stupid, ladies and gentlemen. Not the playing of, the watching and discussing. You realize that those of you who care are wasting your time watching other people enjoy their's, right? Sports are like porn, except porn actors don't have to wear the same clothes every time they get laid.

"SPORT" = Hockey. Can't really say why. "sport" = pro wrestling, gymnastics, swimming

Swimming. Not only is it good exercise for the whole body, but when I lap swim, after a third of a mile or so, the rhythmic motion and breathing put me into a meditative state that is also good for my spirit.

I like to play video games. The hell with throwing a damn ball around.

Horse Racing--It's quick and exciting. If you can't see it in person, your not stuck in front of the TV for three or four hours.

Well, baseball is out because I dont' like to watch guys sit around and re-adjust themselves. I guess that it would have to be swimming though because most of my friends are swimmers!

My favorite sport as a spectator: Cubs games! I love sitting in the bleacher seats with my girlfriends, drinking a few beers and watching Sammy Sosa playing right in front of us! My favorite sport to play: Since I have no coordination, I'm not into contact sports. My favorite exercise activity is jogging along Lake Michigan in the early morning when the sun is rising. It is so peaceful and gorgeous! Although I don't do it too often, I like to get a bunch of people together and go bowling. I'm a good bowler so I like to show off!

I've never been fond of sports, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick horse racing. I love betting and I adore horses. ;-)

To spectate: baseball and hockey (live not on TV)
To participate: volleyball, swimming, and downhill skiing

guess it's un-american and uncool to say I don't like sports.... I don't like sports. I'm glad all the sports are at the end of the news so I can change the channel. Soon as the TV and the internet combine, we'll be able to choose the type of news and shows we personally get & I'll get rid of the sports at the end and replace it with a music or art related segment.

Still sports replaces war and discharges our competitive sin so I

My favorite sport to play is croquet, but the reason that I like it so much is because it makes me feel kind of european, like when I play boules aka bocce. But my favorite sport to watch is football (soccer). I like the whole angry mob potential that all football matches have. Good stuff, right up there with rugby, hockey, and Australian rules football.

FOOTBALL!! I just love to watch...and sometimes play!!

I prefer to play tennis, but haven't really played in years, mostly because I don't have someone to play with. I like it because I'm essentially competing against myself. I did team sports for a short time in school, but didn't do well because I couldn't get into that whole team mentality.

However, I do really enjoy going to ice hockey games.

None. I can't say I get any thrill from sports. Although, I do enjoy watching ice skating.

hockey, definitely. . .it's brutal and beautiful - it's simple and yet strategies and approaches can be discussed intelligently by knowledgeable people for hours. .
