Sorry if I've left any out.

This is to for all of us to vote on our favorite sport and if you want, descuss it.

I personally love Football. (I'm talking about American Football for everyone who doesn't live in the US) I've honestly never seen another sport that comes close to it. (Except maybe Hockey) I just think it's a excellent sport, and that people around the world will eventually come to realize what a great sport is, and give it the respect it deserves in places other than the US.

I love American football. I could watch every game if could, even if I don't care much for the teams playing. My favorite team is Tennessee Titans.

I also like basketball. Only problem is that I don't watch every game like I would football, I only watch the Playoffs. I do keep track of my team (San Antonio Spurs, since that is where I reside) during the regular season, but I do watch a few games.
Ghost
Yeah I love watching as many games as I can too.

The Titans are a good franchise; I myself am a Denver Broncos die hard fan. But I also root for the Titans when their not playing my team since I was born in Tennessee.

I'm not too in to Basketball, but I do enjoy games every once in a while.

But after American Football my favorite sport is Hockey, which me and the rest of my family really love. And with Hockey my team is the Colorado Avalanche.

To play none of those, I like Achery. But I enjoy watchin' Hockey so I picked that one. cool.gif

I picked football, American of course, but the sport I play, am really good at and love the most is bowling. Bowling is great I love to see people try to bowl when they think it isn't a sport and that it is too easy and they just do really bad. Too easy, yeah right, I average around 190. I have almost gotten a 300. It sucked when I missed though, I had 7 in a row and I was on a roll. I hit my mark, perfect amount of spin, it hit the pocket nicely just like I had the 7 frames before and the 10 pin just stood there. Odd thing is, both my brother and I did this at the exact same time, not just in the game but the same night, first game.

Rugby League. I live in Australia, and it's pretty massive in the Eastern states, but AFL dominates when it comes to fans.

I go for the Newcastle Knights (hence my username). I don't think I could be anymore into this Sport if I tried.
Feeder
Ah, come on, there should be a snowboarding option up there. Even though soccer is my favorite sport to watch, snowboarding is easily the most fun sport in the world. There's no comparison, extreme sports are the most fun, but organized are the best to be fans of.

I voted for soccer/football, strange to see a lot of people voted for american football. Because in the Netherlands that sport isn't very known.. Everyone is into soccer smile.gif So am I!

Feeder: I took snowboarding lessons, it was horrible. I fell on my butt a few times and I had bruises on it the whole week (even longer) I couldn't sit on a chair withoud pain. And after 6 lessons I still can't snowboard, tongue.gif
Feeder
Sorry about that, but trust me, I had my share of falls when learning. But once you get the hang of it, you hardly ever fall (except when going off jumps...oww tongue.gif ).
Pixymajik
Ice Hockey alllll the way!!!! I love ice hockey- it's the best sport in the world. it's so fast and the skill that is needed to play it- WOW! Unfortunatly I stink at skating, so I'm a fan by watching. But I'm SOOOO glad that the NHL has fixed up their agreement and a new season is starting soon smile.gif

Tennis all the way!!

Its one of the only sports I play, including American football, golf, and swimming---if you consider that a sport....

But tennis got my vote!!!

I really, really, really suck at all sports. But, the one that I'm decent at is tennis. Well, I've never actually played tennis, but it's fun to watch (for me), and I have played ping-pong and badmington, which I consider to be a lot like tennis, and found them very enjoyable.

Though, again, I'm horrible at this, I love shooting hoops in basketball because, some magical moment times, the ball actually goes in! And, baseball is fun as well..

I voted rugby because I thought it needed the love. I'm a fan of lacrosse, hockey in a vague way, soccer, and snowboarding pretty much for the simple reason that it involves harsh bodily impact. I'd love to play lacrosse or rugby, but I lack both the size and the physical ability...playing soccer for five years took it out on me. Rugby got my vote because it's American football sans any bodily protection, pretty much. That is awesome. I don't like American football because there are too many pauses in the game play. I like my action intense and non-ending (and preferably where someone can get whacked in the head with a stick or a ball in the meantime!). Huzzah for painful sports!
purebloodprincess3339
I voted for soccer, cuz' I play it and coach it. I love to watch American Football, and I want to see a cricket match so bad! (Matt Lewis, I'm accepting invitations to the next game you watch!)
Anglophile92
I chose cricket out of the rest...it's fun to play, and no one really knows of it...here in miami that is
i do like volleyball and tennis too...
soccer isn't bad either!
<3Tonks
I voted cricket because I just love it, though I like Tennis also.

MOD EDIT: if you could please have a look at the rules that would be great! one liner posts are not allowed on the forums..please elaborate more in the future!

You left out cycling I love my cycling and my bike but because it wasn’t up there I had to go for Hockey just because ice hockey is sooo cool and normal hockey is really good fun!!
im_confused11
My favorite is most definetely basketball. I absolutely love to watch it, and it is the only "ball" sport that I am any good at playing. Even though it's not a choice, I also love swimming. I find it very relaxing. I also like to watch volleyball and tennis, just not play, because I am absolutely horrible at them.
Freshprince
Soccer/Football of course!! biggrin.gif
I m a big fan of football and specially of Benfica
Força Benfica

I love football as much as harry potter, movies and series like 24 ...

p.s. Portugal will win the World Coup 2006 wink.gif

Oh Ghost, I wish you would have put other. I voted for Basketball but I love American Football, as many of you know. I am good at both of those sports but the ONE sport that I love to do and can do 365 days a year without wanting to quite is surfing. I love the feel of riding a wave and it surrounding you and it feels like you are free from anything. (not to mention it keeps me tan all year) There arn't many waves her in chicago but I make sure there are when we go on vacation.
gryffindor89
My favorites are basketball, baseball, softball, and american football. I love all those sports!! biggrin.gif The sports that I play are basketball and softball and I used to play volleyball too!!! I love it most of the time. Just not the practicing. sad.gif
*Rachel*
biggrin.gif Honestly, none of those are my favorite sport. I'm actually a swimmer, but that wasn't one of the choices. Oh well. Anyway, I do love watching hockey. It can get violent and people love to break out in fights. Who doesn't like sports with fighting? Nevertheless, hockey is the best sport to watch! smile.gif
miridian

hggw
ooo I'm sorry I hate all the sports in your poll!! (because I suck at all of them) However I love swimming which I practice once a week and I do some competitions ( perhaps Les Championnats de France UNSS this year, I m old enough now ) i do athletism once or twice a week but i get worse and worse, i m more of an aquatic person and i really love horse ridind although i do some once a year (even less) during the holidays . i also, during the holidays but in amore intensive way do some boat like kayak or catamaran (the names are in french, they are perhaps the same in english i dunno)
Mr_Black
Soccer/Football of course!!.I m a big fan of football ......THANKS ph34r.gif
Snapessnake
You really forgot my favourites *sigh*.
I love figure-skating, horsebackriding and nordic walking.
Sometimes I watch soccer, but normally I'm fed up with soccer - due to my three men (husband and two sons). rolleyes.gif
luckyfish
I definitely voted for Tennis.I think its such an awesome sport to play! cool2.gif
But I like extreme sports like snowboarding,but unfortunately I can't do it!I have never been in the snow before!But its cool to watch,those guys are so skilled! smartass.gif
I also play hockey and I enjoy watching it as well.
I generally like mosts sports...
Joy
Yay! Levski(Sofia) are like the best in UEFA! We've just sent ART Media home, so next are Udinese!
marire
Well, you forgot riding. But not all serious! I love riding and being with horses. I actually love it so much that I'm making profession out of it. For sports of list, my favorites are hockey and soccer. Remember to watch olympics on sunday, when Finland takes gold mital from hockey! Or I hope so...
karsh05
UH! well, anyways, I voted for American Football because I am such a football chick. I like to watch it and play it in my backyard. However, my favorite sport to participate in is running! I love to run, and (if i do say so myself) I'm not too bad either. I have a school record of 63.3 seconds in the 400m dash, which is pretty darn good for an 8th grade girl (yes, karsh is a girl!). also I run cross country and I can run 2 miles in just a litle over 13 minutes. Not too bad either, won me 10th place in my district!

Running all the way!
*Quidditch Princess*
Sorry none of those are my favourites. I don't love sports, but I like a few. My favourites are figure skating, archery, and a bit of softball. I would love to try tennis though, I know I'd be horrible at it!
smee
Rugby definitely (watching not playing). How can you not like burly men in tight t-shirts slamming into each other wub.gif .

Martial arts (kickboxing and kung fu) all the way if it was on there though, not just My Job; not just My Hobby; my Way of Life.
patriots0507
i love soccer soooooooooooo much!!!! although it was hard to decide between soccer and american football. im a new england revolution fan.
El Barto
I voted for basketball though American football is a close second. Unfortunatley I'm pretty bad at basketball but I'm good at American football, but I haven't played in a while...so now I just watch it...

yep...watching is fun... unsure.gif

HJPM_PP
i love basketball then football and last soccer. i suck at playing all three but i still like to watch it! the poeple put a lot into it and i like thet about cuz you can really see it!

Snapeisgood
Hockey all the way with me.
To prove I love, I'm almost crying because the Montreal Canadiens may don't got the playoff spot.

The only need one point to go, but, versus the Devils, it's going to be hard.
American Football was close too, but Hockey is the Canadian National's Sport
beyond_the_veil
Well in the UK we don't really play baseball, it's Rounders/Softball, whixh i hate because i can't bat very well and i always get out because i can't run to the bases fast enough! For me, from that list it's tennis but I love Badminton. It's the only sport i can play! Mind you whoever created the poll left out my favourite-Swimming!! (not)
silver_moon
football!!!!!(soccer)
that's passion, that's all!!! i cannot wait for the world cup!! this year my country will show that we are the best!! (i hope... unsure.gif )
i'm from argentina, and yes, we dream football, we think football... we live football!!!!
Veneficus_Diligo
I played Baseball (softball) for 6 years. It was great fun! I loved it, and as captain, I led my team to the state championships one year....We lost...sad.gif
Nawrehsuan
Definately football. I have been playing football for almost eight years now and I love it. It is by far my favourite sport and I am crazy about it. I watch the premiership whenever I have a chance and I always research football on the internet.etc.
PiratePrincess
Football, not Amarican. Then one that is also called Soccer... I like playing in the goaly position.
tuni
Ok my favourite sport is Cricket,Ice hockey and Football.I like Quidditch also.So there so many sports which i like and they are not given in the options for voting,so i voted for Cricket.I like sometimes tennis also. rolleyes.gif
priori_incantatem
I didn't vote. Do you know why? You didn't put dancing as a sport. Do you know how hard dancing can be? Anyone who hasn't ever had instruction thinks it's just a bunch of anorexic people dancing around in tutus. And it is so not. It has more of a physical strain than all those sprots combined! lac.gif You're just ignorant!
Lizzy_Radcliffe
Volleyball is the best sport in the world, and I can't believe it's not on there. It's got the tension and excitement, and the adrenaline the players get from it is the most amazing feeling in the world. Oh, well...

Football is fun to play, but it's better to watch. especially high schol football.

P.S: Quidditch is the bestest sport there is!
Kells bells
I hated all of the offered sports, but I hate tennis the least so I picked that. And I guess I only hated that the least because we played it in school at the end of the year so no-one took it seriously. I still got hit and bruiesed by a ball though mad.gif i broke the guy who did it's fingers though tongue.gif Accident...honest...kinda freakey, never broken anyones bones before tennis...
I love running, horse riding (my life! my sanity!) and archery. So fun.
