Of the many popular sports which ones do you rarely or never watch? Or could easily switch channels to a movie.

For me it's soccer; it takes so long to score a point.

Also car racing; I don't see the attraction of watching cars going around in circles.

Lacrosse
Even live it's tough to watch.
Fun to play but usually not a great watch but Gary Gait and Mikey Powell are two of the most exciting athletes I've seen. Box Lacrosse is pretty fun to watch.

I mostly ignore everything that's not a big 4 sport, college hoops/football, last rounds of golf majors, or World Cup soccer. I am hoping rugby gains a foothold in the US, that's a fun sport to watch but it helps to have a rooting interest.

Lacrosse makes no sense to me. I cannot believe anyone watches darts or pickleball.

Golf, though not super popular, just seems like an awful lot of wasted space.

Cricket, again not popular ( outside of a few countries )

Rugby

Nascar and racing in general

Curling ( though not popular)

Mma, boxing (Too brutal)

I don't mind bowling or darts too much, won't go out of my way to watch though

Football - just boring to me with too many breaks
Hockey - used to be an avid fan until 96 and couldn’t care less anymore

Any auto racing, tennis, soccer. Somewhat related. I saw pillowfighting on ESPN2 about a month ago. Before anyone gets excited, it was two dudes standing in a boxing ring swinging pillows at each other like they were at a slumber party. Worst thing ever.

Golf, curling, poker, bowling, MMA

Most other sports I can tolerate for short duration or depending on matchups

I love soccer during the World Cup or Euro Cup or Concacaf

I only watch UConn sports, MLB, NFL, golf Majors and Olympic events. Also random NCAA stuff when bored.
