Quoted from Phisch
Cricket - Played a bit of local league for a few years
American Football - Played briefly for the team in Doncaster and have only missed 2 years of the London games, I make sure I attend 1 a year and am a huge Chicago Bears fan, managing to get a ticket for the game at the Spurs ground in 2019


Looks like we may have jumped on the NFL bandwagon at similar times - my team, Washington (formerly the Redskins) have had the same sort of barren spell as the Bears! Still love it though. For those who dismiss American Football through ignorance annoy me, although the closed-shop culture of American sport is wrong, no doubt. However, many a time would our two teams have been threatened with relegation if it was different!

With both having made some questionable ownership decisions in the last 2 decades the NFL teams are not dissimilar to our other sports teams...  

I like the American sporting set up, the parity keeps the lack of relegation from being boring for me

In the summer I tend to enjoy cricket more than football. On a Sunday afternoon, I'd watch a test over practically any PL game. Tests are my first cricketing love but become increasingly invested in T20 blast in recent years, I'm a Yorkie fan I'm afraid to admit.

I also love my F1 racing. Although it has become a little tedious in recent years it should get rejuvenated next year, even looks like Lewis may have his first title fight in years this year too.

I usually don't care about international football, hate international breaks, but will watch and follow build-up and speculation around the Euros this summer. Sadly my friends at Uni tend to be more interesting in internationals than 'real' football.

Can take or leave things like Olympics and Wimbledon but do enjoy the Masters and The Open and especially the Ryder Cup. Great drama.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Test matches are very strange. I don't follow cricket at all so not sure if it's still the same but you can get one team go into bat first and make, say, 600 in the first couple of days. Then the 2nd team go in and get bowled out in for about 150 so are forced to follow on. On the 4th day, 2nd team are about 90 odd for 9 and it starts to rain. It then rains for all the 5th day, so no further play possible.

So what's the result?? A DRAW!!

Strange.

I play golf 3-4 times a week and my wife and  I play tennis together. The golf is very average (17.1) but it's the heart of my social life.
I used to be quite involved in local kids football. Took over a new U7 team in which my grandson played and decided to call them Holy Trinity Mariners. Had to retire when they were 13 as I couldn't keep up with any them due to bad knees!

I used to work with an American guy who became a good friend. When he was bored he would turn round and say, "so, explain this cricket thing to me".

I'm pleased to see no one's into WWF or whatever it's called now. What a load of bolox. Definitely not a sport. More play acting than a weekend of Premier League football.

Footie - obviously but lower leagues and grassroots. The win at all costs mindset spoils it sometimes.  I used to play and did some coaching last year but my poor brain hasn't worked out why the body can't do what it used to do.

Cricket - I hated it for years until I lived with two cricket fans in London.  I'll watch the England scores but can't watch out here in Vietnam. in fact apart from football, there ain't much sport. The aforementioned cricket fans were also into goal and were really peeved when I beat them at crazy golf on a day out to Margate. What can you say?  I'm from Cleethorpes.

Snooker  / Pool - I prefer the former but hard to find tables in Asia. Billiards is more common here.

Motorsport - Not really into it but when I was in Poland I met an English bloke who lived there and his daughter was really into speedway. I enjoyed it.

Tennis.  I played  when i was younger but my interest waned when I stopped played and the game changed to super fast serve and volley.

Kabaddi - I loved this when it was on channel 4
