What is your favorite Non-Major Sport to watch on tv or live? (1 Viewer)

[roadkill1292]

The sport of the future.

 

[Dentist]

Tennis

Poker at one time...  as an aside I can't believe the WPT is still a thing with Mike Sexton

Horse Racing (although that sport badly needs redesigned for its majors)

 

[Gustavo Fring]

Spelling Bee

Ding

 

[Zow]

Other - bowling

Really though I enjoy just about any sport.  Water polo and crossfit games are fun to watch just for the sheer fitness of it. Table tennis/badminton/racquetball are sports I've always been good at so it's fun to see just how much better the pros are.  

 

[EYLive]

It's not on TV, but elite level ultimate frisbee (on youtube) is great to watch.

I watch darts pretty much everyday before work.  When I get to England, it will be a priority to get to a live event.

I got addicted to watching the World Darts Championship over the Xmas holidays.  There's something about watching incredibly skilled but fat and tastelessly dressed men play a pub game for big money.

The non-big 4 I will really watch are soccer and golf. Sometimes boxing or MMA. I will watch a little volleyball, curling and rugby, but probably not a whole match. I would watch whitewater slalom if I found it on tv.

I do miss barrel jumping though.m

I actually enjoy watching college softball. these chicks play hard, and the games are fast. the college softball world series might be more exciting than the MLB world series...

they only downside is that when someone is up to bat, all the other players in the dugouts won't SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

Golf

Skiing

Biathlon

Swimming

Cycling

Why don't college girls (or ever high school girls) play baseball? Why play a wimpy version of an already established sport?

 

[Tecumseh]

American Ninja Warrior

Poker

 

[CGRdrJoe]

I watch supercross almost every Saturday night on FS1  

 

[brun]

This!

Looks like fun. Reminded me of when I was kid we played Buck Buck, Except when we played the front guy would be holding on to a tree or a pole.

 

[Christo]

Rugby

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Curling. Although I'm pretty sure it qualifies as a major sport up here. From December to March there is pretty much always a "major" tournament being shown on TV.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Honestly, I caught ESPN had the juggling world championships on one day. Penn Jillette from Penn & Teller was the play-by-play guy. I was riveted for over an hour. I saw this brother and sister team from Russia juggle clubs back and forth, 25 feet apart, facing away from each other the entire time. Mind blowing. I couldn't get over how amazing it was to watch.

Sounds like they chose the right one of the two.

 

[The Future Champs]

Some great suggestions so far.

I'll add Rally Car Racing.    Those guys are insane.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

nothing beats a day at the track. 

nothing.

bump up further for shrines like Keeneland/Belmont/Del Mar/Saratoga/Churchill/Santa Anita

? + $ + ?+ ? = 

This.  Love a great battle down the stretch

Arena Football

 

[Cjw_55106]

Big fan of college softball. 

Not worthy of a separate thread, but The Gopher women got screwed (insert joke here).

I dont care how "the committee" views your opponents, to be 54-3 and not get seeded? Ridiculous. 

11 of the 16 seeds had double digit losses. 

 

[Psychopav]

Competitive Onslaught

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Grassroots auto racing.

Women's softball.

yes, that really is insane. I was checking the regional brackets this morning, and was like where is Minnesota? but on the plus side, they will probably be the team to emerge from their pretty weak regional bracket.

And that earns them a face-off with the top seed in the country. In reality, Alabama and Florida shouldnt be too happy about Mn getting snubbed either.

Live: horse racing

TV:

Olympic cross-country skiing

NCAA women's softball tournament

looks like it didn't really matter... and now Bama is taking it to the Gators.

Don't see it on much more but Australian Rules Football

I like how those girls fill those pants, even (especially?) the slightly chubby ones.

Of course it matters, but I dont need to get into that.

If you have FS1/2 they cover quite a few games.
