Worst spectator games

[blindswelledrat]

Darts and snooker are my offerings.
I simply cannot understand the attraction of fat men throwing darts/ hitting balls with sticks.
Im sure there are lots more

Fishing

you missed cricket and F1

[lanciachris]

Football.

Each kick of the ball probably amounts to about a grand salary for the players. It might be bearable if it wasnt for that. Some of us have to work for a living. Others spend their time on PH.

Not exactly a 'spectator' event though is it?

[AllTorque]

Actually it's a bit of a stupid question, because by definition the worst spectator games would be the ones with no spectators.

[dick dastardly]

To me it's all of them, I cannot watch ANY sport at all. I just simply can't get interested in them.

Darts and snooker are games of skill. If you've played snooker for example then you'll know how difficult it is to pot a ball, much less do what these Gods do on the table. Also Snooker has brilliant tactics in the game.

It's one of those you have to have played to be able to enjoy.

And yes, fishing is lame.

You prefer to participate then?

[vetteheadracer]

Squash and Ice Hockey, the ball and puck respectively are too small and move too fast.

Marathon running. What's the point of watching that? Road cycling too (unless you are equipped with a TV and a helo)

A bit yeah! I'm not sure what you're trying to find out in this thread - snooker brought in 25 million viewers when Dennis Taylor beat Davis in 1985. It simply cannot ever be called a crappy spectator sport by any normal definition of spectator sport goodness. A crappy sport maybe

You seem to be far more confused than anyone else so let me simplify.
A televised gameor sport which you find awful to watch.
And I find snooker awful to watch so I can.

Makes you wonder why there are so many fishing programs on TV

I suppose it comes down to whether or not you find that particular sport interesting.

Darts and golf I just can’t watch.
