Where's the option for 'none of the above?'

Golf is great. I probably get the most enjoyment watching golf over any other sport.

Probably, but at least I get to take part and not feel like a total outcast, and I get to do things playing them which I just can't do in real life without serious and life-wrecking consequences (i.e. kill my mates repeatedly, try to fly a space ship etc). I'd rather be doing that which brings some measure of escapist joy to my life, than something I have zero interest in and zero talent for which makes me miserable.

So things are only pointless and boring if you're gooseberry fool at them?

Kicking a differently shaped ball around a field.
Throwing a pointy thing at a board.
Equally pointless and boring.
Twiddling some sticks to make a thing happen on a screen.

At least you're having some input with that.
Watching sport is just watching other people doing something while you literally just stand/sit there doing naff all.

If you're doing naff all, you're doing it wrong. You should have friends there, discussing the game and generally larking about.

Voted darts, even though it's a game, not a sport.

Darts is the only one on that list I haven't watched for more than 2 minutes, so that wins.

Disliking football is unfathomable to me and I only really started watching it when I was ten. Even the gooseberry fool matches have something fundamentally interesting going for them, although it's not like you'll want to watch all ninety minutes uninterrupted.
Golf, snooker, rugby, and generally F1 are the sports I will rarely have time for.

I find it difficult to watch a lot of American sports; Nascar, American Football and Baseball particularly, but Cricket is probably my most disliked.

People voting football?
It's clearly cricket.

Oh yeah, baseball too. I've tried getting into American football as well but the idea of two separate offensive and defensive sides to a team strikes me as weird.

I find Darts strangely interesting, but that's partially down to the side show that each player brings along with them.
I don't understand Snooker and I find the rest incredibly boring to watch.
I like playing sport, but hate watching it.

The only way I'd watch golf on TV is if it were crazy golf and yet cricket is even worse.
