What is your favorite - and least favorite sport
My favorite sport is College Football. I love the campus atmosphere, the bands, the pom pom squads and cheerleaders, the alumni, the autumn weather, the tailgating, the rivalries, the school colors...............
My least favorite sport is Pro Basketball. I played and coached basketball for years and am a big fan of high school and college basketball, but pro basketball offends me. The pro game is not played or officiated in the way the game was meant to be. It is an ugly game as contrasted to the balletic beauty of the amateur game in my opinion. Actually the money and greed in professional sports in general has turned me off.

I can't decide between polo and soccer as my favorite. Love watching the horses at polo and enjoy watching the endurance of the soccer players. These sports woud be followed by baseball, then football and then basketball. My least favorite sport is boxing...just too brutal..makes no sense to me.

My favorite sport is college football. We love tailgating and being around all those adoring fans. It's also fun just to sit with friends at a sports bar and cheer for our favorite teams (ours are Auburn and Virginia Tech). My least favorite sport is a toss up between bowling and boxing.

My favorite sport is Major League Baseball. Has been since I was 6 years old. I love the Cincinnati Reds, but I watch games just because I love the beauty of the sport.
My least favorite sport is.....................synchronized swimming? Seriously, I love sports and all the others come in second. |

Professional Football (NFL) would be my favorite. Professional Baseball is a little too slow. Talk about slow. I never learned to play golf so I have little interest in actually watching it. I know, I know. Blasphemous in the Villages to not like golf with all these golf courses. Kind of like living in Hollywood and not liking movies all that much. Do love movies though, even ones about golf like Tin Cup, Caddyshack, The Greatest Game Ever Played, The Legend of ****** Vance, etc. http://www.sportsinmovies.com/golf-movies.asp

I have to say Baseball. Yes, it has slowed down to a crawl. Sometimes pitchers are changed every other batter (or more). But, I grew up with it and still love my NEW YORK YANKEES !
Second I would have to say is Golf - which I never watched until I started playing and realize just how good the pros are. Third - Football My least favorite? - Is curling truly a sport ???? No offense intended to those who like it.

Favorites: Rhythmic gymnastics and dressage. I'm fact, rumor has it that ABC is going to feature a show, Dancing with the Ponies, hosted by Mr. Ed.
Least Favorite: Election Year Marathon Babble. Oh, I also have developed a fondness for girls beach volleyball, but not in terms of winning or losing....it's the aesthetics.

Most favorite is pro football. I can't believe the season is almost half over.
Least favorite is car racing. I don't seem to be able to watch cars go round a circle for two hours.
