Favourite sports to watch/play?

[Ravea]

Soccer and Fencing.

Chess doesn't really count as a sport, does it.

Depends. Nude chess? Full-contact chess?

What about Chess Boxing?

[Colonic Immigration]

To watch: Hockey and (American) Football.
To play: Haven't in years. Tennis looks fun, but there's the whole running outside bit that's offputting.

Table tennis then.

[Agolthia]

Participation: I'm a competive long distance runner and rowers. Also enjoy play a fair bit of football/soccer and touch rugby in the park. I tend to participate in any sport when given the chance. Ultime Frisbee is okay and I did a couple Judo session. It was actually a real blast, the gymnastic session at the start and the floor bouts at the end were good craic.

To Watch: I enjoy watching most sports. Being a rower, I watch the Oxford-Cambridge boat race, the world cups when they are tv and the olympic regatta. Of course if I'm a competing at a regatta, I keep an eye on the other races while I'm waiting for mine. Love watching Manchester United play football and Ireland play rugby. Got some good memories of watching Ireland get the grandslam with all the other Irish students in St Andrews.

[Maurepas]

Gridiron Football, and hockey every now and then...for both, other sports just dont hold my attention long enough...

[New Limacon]

Soccer/football can also be fun, if both the teams involved are very good professionals (which you don't see much in the US).

You should check out Women's Professional Soccer. Best players in the world.

The soccer I see is unfortunately dictated by whatever is showing on one of the four television stations I receive; I really only ever see a game when I'm at someone else's home or a hotel. I'll try to remember the WPS the next time I'm in one of those situations, though.

[Yootopia]

Soccer and Fencing.

Not unless it's chessboxing, no.

[Robarya]

To watch: Nothing.

To play: Rugby.

I love rugby since it is quite a rough sport where there's no pansy rules prohibiting tackling.

I've always wanted to play that chess game they had in the first Harry Potter book, where each of the pieces is a person. Change the rules so that merely moving on a square isn't enough; you have to tackle the other guy, and I think you have a sport.

Or, you can combine the two...When you move to a square, you have to strip them of clothes,

That could work. In American football they wear such tight pants anyway, taking them off shouldn't offend anyone.

Racing to both. To watch it's the best value in sports. I pay what a Raiders fan pays, he gets crap seats and one game, I get a paddock pass, a weekend of motorsports including up the six races of various kinds and any seat I care to flop myself into. (to the "OMG racing is so totally not a sportz!!!11!one!" crowd, tell your story walking, I don't give a shit.)

To do, expensive. And my old VW Bus isn't what one would call 'competitive.' (though fair effort to the Bullrun guys, but mine is stock...)

Although, I do not consider car racing to be a sport.

Didn't think you did.

[Jordaxia]

I like to watch competitive level RTS and FPS games being played. I can watch rugby too though, from time to time.
As for playing, I used to play rugby, but I'm not one for the competitive environment really. I'm too much of a bad loser.

[Lunatic Goofballs]

Rugby provides me with ample opportunities to yell in chorus with everyone else at the bar.

Yay!

To play: Rugby, Football(gridiron), Wrestling(formerly), Paintball.

To Watch: None, other than a basic testicular ability to be mildly entertained by whatever sport happens to be on television.

[Animillenia]

I don't watch sports, don't really care for them, though I do watch pro wrestling, though that is not sport it is sports entertainment.

At one point in my life I played a little soccer, but got bored with it easily. Do Wii Sports count? :

[Falkasia]

Watch: Baseball, Ice Hockey.

Play: Ice Hockey, Roller Hockey, Street Hockey, Sharpshooting.

[Saige Dragon]

I actually like watching curling on TV. It's pretty fun to play (drunk) too, kinda like a pub game like pool or darts but on a way larger scale.

[Poliwanacraca]

To play: field hockey, basketball. I'm mediocre to lousy at both, but they're fun.

To watch: soccer, figure skating, gymnastics.

[Pope Joan]

baseball

and (formerly) baseball.

I don't know if hiking and kayaking are sports but that's what I mostly do these days
