It's funny how there's sports people like to watch live a lot more than on TV.

Personally, I think hockey is amazing live. Though I like it on TV, it's just not the same dynamic.

Football (American) on the other hand is sort of dismal live, unless you have good seats. Going to see a game is much more about tailgating and hanging out with friends than actually seeing anything from your nose bleed seats in the middle of the winter...

I voted for baseball though.
 
Everyone watches something, I think.

Even if it's reality TV or dog shows or hamster racing... I suppose those would all fall under the "other" category!

:D

Nope!

I don't watch any sport on TV. Actually, my tv doesn't get any channel! Its sole purpose is to read the DVD player signal. :D
The only sport I'd be interested in would be freediving, and I don't think there's such thing as a Freediving Channel.
 
for me it's football, but as I support Birmingham City I do sometimes think I'm watching something else.

Will be glued to the TV tonight. COME ON ENGLAND!!!
 
MotoGP, 250s, 125s, World SuperBikes, British Superbikes, GT, World Touring Cars, British Touring Cars.
 
No cheerleading either. Cheerleading IS a sport, or so I have been informed by some very irate bottle-blondes. :p

I had college roommates that were cheerleaders. They would get very angry when someone tried to tell them it is not a sport. It got to the point where it was fun to say even if you didn't have an opinion about it.
I think the man show did something on 'what is a sport'; if I remember correctly they said 'any activity that requires subjective judgment to win and/or does not require a referee to call in-game rule violations is thus not a sport'
<edit> oh yeah there might have been something in there about severe bodily harm too...</edit> Thus things like cheer leading, synchronized swimming, golf, billiards, darts and so on should be referred as competitions (some of which are more physical than others). ;)
