I like NFL (favorite Steelers and Raiders) NASCAR (Dale Earnhardt Jr), Baseball (Cardinals and Phillies) and NHL (Flyers.) Also pay a little attention to NBA (Sixers.) I couldn't care less about college sports, tennis, golf (though I like paying it) or other sports - and poker isn't a damn sport!

My favorites are MLB, college basketball and MMA.

I follow a ton of sports though--MLB, NFL, NBA, college football and basketball, MMA, tennis, to a lesser degree golf and NHL.

I'm a big football (the round one) fan, but also follow other sports like tennis, f1 and cricket, and a little bit of rugby. Also, whenever i go on holiday to the states, i try and follow the Phillies as much as possible, but as theres no coverage of the MLB, its a little difficult for me to follow it much over here. Anyway what do you think of the phillies season so far?

Phillies are doing pretty good so far (finding coverage is easy for me - they're the local team.) They're first in the NL East - if you didn't know they won the World Series last year! You can always go to mlb.com to check things out - and for a certain charge you can listen to US radio stations online to follow teams.

Yea them picking up my man Raul Ibanez has served them pretty well thus far.


Sadly, my team is the Mariners :roll:

They've been outperforming so far and are geared up to go down the tubes.

Dude, I am a HUGE NFL fan, and my favorite teams are also the Steelers and the Raiders, although I like the Forty-Niners too, I actually have Niners season tickets this year. I'm also, disappointingly, a San Jose Sharks fan. It's embarrassing to be such a great team in the regular season and be so awful in the postseason. I also really like baseball, I go to the San Francisco Giants a lot and to their Minor League team in San Jose even more.

I used to go to games of the minor-league Phillies affiliate in Reading, PA (also called the Phillies.) They used to once a year have the Philadelphia Phillies play them in an expedition play. I saw Mike Schmidt play in a couple of them.

Watching other people play sports? I thought you were asking what sports we enjoy participating in.

I like watching women participate in sports. The Olympics has some good opportunities for this.

I don't like looking at sports, I do like practicing some though.

I like ballet/dance and basketball.
(unofficial) Badminton is fun to do during summer.

I suppose I do like watching one sport, and that's breaking (or b-boying).
So amazing and always gets me pumped to move myself.

Right now I'm interested in the IPL but it's on TV here at about 2AM so I hardly ever get to watch it.

As far as sports that I have participated in: bowling and golf.

When I was little I played little league baseball and didn't like it. I was a terrible batter---I did not have the correct coordination to hit the ball. I do not like contact sports.

As far as watching sports on TV: bowling and golf are my top picks. I also like to watch college football. I do love to watch the Olympics. And when I was growing up I used to watch some wrestling (back in the days of Ivan Koloff, The Samoans, The Iron Sheik, Sargeant Slaughter, etc.). I also enjoyed roller derby---I would still like to watch that.

As for sports that I do:
Skating, running, swimming, and other sports that are non-team, non-contact, and non-motorized. Snowboarding and surfing are ones that I like but, for various reasons, don't do much anymore.

You probably can, because there are teams and events, right now. It's kinda retro, and the participants (all females) give themselves badass-cutesy arena names. I've never seen it, just read about it.
