Dwarf tossing, yep, or Jello wrestling, or WWF wrestling for that matter; Entertainment isn't neccessarily sport, and vice versa.

The dog would watch where the duck landed (maybe 100-200 yards away on the other side of an obstacle course) and it would then sprint down the hillside through the obstacles to bring back the dead duck. I guess it was timed. |
My best friend is big on duck hunting with retrievers (he just came back from England with a golden lab puppy), and has been going to competitions in Canda and England.
Funny, he's never mentioned a 'dead-duck canon' or an obstacle course before, I'll have to ask him if they still do things that way.
He also carves and paints his own decoys and sells them, if anyone is interested (He's an animator by trade but the contracts are few and far between these days plus he's old school and everything is going CGI). |

The OP obviously has a lot of bias by mentioning only sports he might not like and not listing sports that other dislike. I've seen several people mention soccer, and with good reason. I was also here during the World Cup and the best part about it was that I got two days off of work thanks to it. The fact that the Koreans made it to the final four just shows how lame this sport is. It is perfect for all those who have poor hand skills and who fall down a lot when they try to run (as soccer seems to reward people a lot for doing so).
It's not the worst sport, though. I can watch soccer longer than I can watch cricket or rugby. |

Word...makes you wonder whether the whole battleship grey pasty chatroom dwelling non sports playing 33 year old virgin computer nerd stereotype doesn't have some veracity to it really.
I mean, how far removed from the rest of the world are you if you can claim that football is the worst sport ever invented. I never played football, rugby and cricket were my sports, but...to deny that football is the most popular sport in in the universe is fucked.
Oh yeah...and no offense to all those battleship grey pasty chatroom dwelling non sports playing 33 year old virgin computer nerds out there, just keeping it real!. |

Nobody denies it. Car racing is (was?) the fastest growing spectator sport in the U.S., but that makes it no less stupid.
There's just something about the way that professional soccer players feign injury and roll around getting their panties all knotted up that isn't appealing to people with testosterone.

The Simpsons on Soccer:
TV Announcer: The Continental Soccer Association is coming to Springfield! It's all here--fast-kicking, low scoring, and ties? You bet!
Bart: Hey, Homer, how come you've never taken us to see a soccer game?
Homer: I...don't know.
TV Announcer: You'll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Ariaga! Ariaga II! Bariaga! Aruglia! And Pizzoza!
Homer: Oh, I never heard of those people.
TV Announcer: And they'll all be signing autographs!
Homer: Woo-hoo!
TV Announcer: This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on earth: Mexico or Portugal!
hahahaha. stupid soccer! |
I've a lot of time for your posts, Billybrobby, but I'm surprised you posted this and I'm even more surprised that it was aired on The Simpsons, the saintly show loved by liberals the world over (not by me though; unfunny inane sh1te generally). It's blatantly racist - Soccer must be rubbish if rubbishy little countries like Mexico and Portugal are good at it! Deary me, what pish!
For the person who asked me why American Football is total balls, I could list several reasons: constant stoppages, big stupid clothes and helmets (if rugby players don't need all that gear, then those big puffs certainly don't), it's impossible to see where the ball is, it's chaotic, has no redeeming features whatsoever, the foot barely touches the ball, unlike in proper football. People who like American so-called football must have a very high tolerance to crushing boredom! Totally dreadful shower. |

My mistake. I like to randomly put Dave's names to foreign faces and my accuracy rate is approaching 0%. |

NASCAR should be up there. A sport invented by southern bottleggers outrunning the law.
Actually I'm not sure if I hate NASCAR itself, its more the people who watch it. |
