Last week, my friends and I were sitted outside arguing about which sport is the most boring ever. We all couldn't agree on which is the most boring so I have decided to bring it to nairaland for us to debate on. Below is the list of sports I personally find pretty boring.
1) GOLF: Golf is the first word that comes to mind when you hear the words sports and boring together. Golf is the very definition of boredom. Whack the ball, jump on a kart and drive for 20 minutes to the ball, repeat. They don't run(unless there is a loose dog in the greens), don't know where the ball's going, camera just shows the ball for a second in the air then on the ground. Suitable for retired, obese men.
2) NASCAR: I would die if I have to watch NASCAR, where the cars just go round and round and round, only left turns! Absolutely boring! Motorsports have always been full of adrenaline-pumping speed, overtaking, accidents, sharp turns and long straights. Nascar has managed to take each of these positive elements, twist it with its bare hands and turn auto-racing into extremely monotonous and dumb showcase of 50 badly painted cars more focused on avoiding the crash barriers than moving forward. Watching a rock would be more entertaining than watching people drive in circles.
3) BASKETBALL: Basketball has some of the most boring rules, regulations and fouls around. Besides, all they do is just run around like headless chickens and shoot the ball into a basket. My friend said this during the argument, "basketball follows the same pattern over and over; you shoot, I shoot, you shoot, I shoot. You shoot, I shoot, game over." The only excitement to be had is when the action is interrupted by yet another foul or time out- like celebrity spotting in the front row. Ooh, there's David Beckham talking to Kanye West.
4) SNOOKER: Playing Snooker is the last thing you do before you go hang yourself. Watching someone else play snooker is most likely what one does after killing yourself isn't an option. So boring! The only physical activity happens when the players bend their backs to take a shot. Else, it's all stand and deliver. Whenever I watch snooker, I want to go jump off a cliff.
5) CRICKET: Cricket is the most boring thing in the universe; never mind sport. It could even be used in surgery to put patients under natural anesthetic. The idea that a contest can last for days with no guarantee of a result is palpably ludicrous, as is the idea that 80% of Participants are either sitting in the pavilion or idling about on the field waiting for something to happen. So damn boring, I can't just believe people actually invented this game.
6) BASEBALL: Watching a game of Baseball is like watching paint dry. It's like the toned-down version of cricket, both are extremely boring and there are entirely too many games been played. Baseball is what I put myself to sleep with whenever I have to wake up early for work. I just switch the channel to Supersport, watch a lil bit of baseball and within 3 minutes, I'm already snoring like crazy.
So which do you guys believe is the most boring of all sports? Yours may or may not be from the ones I listed above.
