Do you like watching paint dry as well?

Actually, Paintball's pretty fun to watch, and one of my favorite things to play, ;)

Play Strip Paintball. I recommend it. :)

I wasn't referring to paintballing...

Although that does bring to mind the fact that I have yet to answer the OP...

Watch: Football (American or real), Hockey, Lacrosse, Rugby, MMA
Play: Paintball (and Hockey when I was younger)

I like watching NHL Hockey and minor league Baseball, but the majors are ok too.

Being a bit older, my playing days are long over. In High School I ran Track and Cross-Country, though. And no, we did not have to run around the dinosaurs.

Favorite to watch? I can't decide between Professional Wrestling, Rodeo, Women's Beach Volleyball, and Football. I probably watch wrestling the most, because it's on the most. Although, football season is starting up soon...woohoo! Are You Ready For Some Football?

To play? Football.

I'm going to go ahead and decline your invitation to have, for the ten billionth time, the same stupid argument about what is/is not a sport.

while not a fan of it myself, some folk are. I guess that as long as you keep perspective on it, i.e., know that it is choreographed and not real, it can be fun to watch.

Decline it all you want, but since neither the WWE nor TNA (and they are really the only games in town) makes the claim that its a sport should be a clue that it isn't one, unless you consider ballet to be a sport as well...

1. It isn't. So ......

2. At least it is a competition. It isn't just pretend.
I quit (again).

Watch: hockey, baseball, basketball and soccer, in that order, unless it's playoff/World Cup time and my team is in it--then it takes precedence over all others.

Play: softball and basketball, though it's been awhile (like... a couple years).
