I'm not a fan of pretty much any human-powered sport. And honestly, these days, even motorsports. I just don't have 3-5 hours of my life to give up to watch things like that. I'll catch moto replays the day after, which are 30mins vs 4hours.

Oh, I do like hand-cycle racing.

Over the last decade I've become less fond of televised motor sports due to the excessive advertising breaks, and "This lap is brought to you by...." stuff.

kind of in the same boat. ill watch baseball and hockey. been to a bunch of baseball games in my life. never been to a hockey game. if for some reason i get the hankering for basketball ill watch some Big3. football, i don't even watch the super bowl. and i care even less about soccer.
if you want to be entertained without knowing wtf is going on, watch rugby some time. somehow they combined football and soccer and made it not suck.

motorsports on the other hand. if it has an internal combustion engine I'm probably going to watch at least a little of it. tried watching some EV racing, nope, about as entertaining as watching paint dry (apologies to the paint for the analogy).

and i used to watch "action sports" before big name sponsors came in threw money around and screwed that all to hell. i don't even recognize the X-Games anymore.

Cricket looks confusing too.

cricket, or as i call it retar... wait, i can't say that. but rugby is interesting because it kind of reminds me of a game i played as a kid called smear the que... wait, can't say that ether.
the internet and PC culture sucks when you're a 90's kid.
