Which sports bore you to tears?For me it is any motor sport,especially F1,might as well stand on any motorway bridge and watch the traffic flash by,vroom vroom.It's noisy,hard to follow,and repititive,and that's just watching on the tv,I can only imagine how tedious it must be at the actual venue,probably smelly and dirty as well.

I don't consider them sports, but any one-dimensional activity excluding golf: NASCAR, sprinting, swimming, etc.

Not available in my country. Even the video is boring.

Boring sports to watch:

- NASCAR
- Soccer (except when a goal is scored)
- Tennis
- Golf

I don't know that I find any sport boring to play. I can imagine driving at 200 miles per hour (NASCAR) isn't boring. I've played the other three sports listed above and didn't find any of them boring.

At one time, darts competitions on ESPN had an overly enthusiastic announcer? He made it watchable. Bowling and poker...I wouldn't consider them sports, but ESPN sure does.

Also, any sport played by women.

Boring sports to watch:
Baseball
Curling
Golf
Soccer

Although I played soccer most of my life, and still do, I can see how tedious it can be to a non radical fan. Waste 90+ minutes of your life to not even witness one goal.

Baseball, golf, soccer, racing.

Playing though, is a different matter, especially using golf carts to play polo.
