While just about any sport is enjoyable to partake in, some can prove quite tedious to spectate for extended periods of time. So I would ask you escapists what your favourite is. Personally I love watching the sport of my homeland (Australian Rules) and yet something about watching Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose provides me with different kind of excitement. I guess I'll assume the round ball football will get the most votes, but I personally don't understand what you see in it.

EDIT: Sigh the poll has committed suicide and was also supposed to include Rugby, Baseball and Other. (If a mod could fix it - not sure if you can - that'd be great)

RUGBY!

By far! I love the sport, watching and playing!

I was glad to see it was the poll that ate it... after the success of Aus recently I would have been shocked if you had missed it!

I haven't seen Aussie Rules yet, but from what I have heard I may like it!

I'm one of those weirdos who like hockey. And I'm not even Canadian. Also, I don't like the NHL as much as I like the European leagues like the KHL, the EBEL and the Elitserien. Why? Because they put a lot more emphasis on skating and finesse, not just physical contact and hits.

But meh, now that even the NHL is over, I have months to wait...

Theres way too many sports out there for a poll like this... at a glance its missing hockey, baseball, tennis, golf, rally racing, martial arts. I like watching hockey, racing, and fighting (UFC mainly) for my sporting events.

This poll could get pretty big if we accomodated everyone. There might need to be a way of narrowing it down. Maybe just ask for favourite within a genre? For example favourite competetive team sport then you can knock out a lot of the individual sports (golf, singles tennis, racing, boxing) In which case it's hockey for me.

Have you seen Goon? I watched it the other day, and it is really quite funny! Although it is less about the skating and more about the fighting...! :/

Schoolyard Fights, TRULY America's favourite past time. There's just nothing like getting into a crazed frenzy with my fellow spectators and chanting "Fight, fight, fight!"

Football and Ice Hockey. Try to watch both as much as I can, although I rarely manage to watch Ice Hockey due to the whole "it's on at 3am here" thing =P

What the? No baseball? No ice hockey? but you have cricket? C'mon cricket is played in arguably two places. The other two have leagues all over the world.

Ice Hockey I watch it all the time. Can you believe the kings this year? crazy.
