10 Sports That Are So Boring to Watch

By News Editor - December 21, 2015 · Entertainment · Sports

Sports is a huge part of a lot of people’s lives with plenty of fans around the world. However, these 10 are just too boring to care about.

Golf

Is it really classed as a sport? All these guys are doing is walking around a huge field and whacking a ball with a stick. It’s definitely no ice hockey in terms of excitement.

Golf

Surprisingly, it has millions of fans from around the globe. We’re not one of them, sorry!

Cricket

Yet another boring sport that has millions of fans – and we just don’t see why! It could be because we have no idea how on earth you’re supposed to play it.

Plus games can last all day, which nobody has time for. Unless there’s plenty of beer on offer, in which case we might just make the time.

Curling

Any sport that involves a broom isn’t really a sport if you ask us. That’s called cleaning. Pushing some kind of boulder around ice with a broom doesn’t sound like our idea of fun.

We’re not sure that this sport has millions of fans like cricket or golf, yet people still play.

Running

Running is great exercise if you’re planning on losing weight or toning up. It’s not the kind of thing we’d take hours out of our lives to watch on TV though.

Once you’ve seen the start you only really need to come back for the finish. Yawn!

Archery

We tried to watch archery at the Olympics once. We got so bored we fell asleep. Unless these guys are going to be hitting moving objects then we really don’t care enough.

It’s always so quiet as well. Boring! We want sports we can shout about.

Sailing

It’s like one of those sports that you only ever hear about if someone breaks a world record. Did you know they televise sailing? Nope, we didn’t either.

We can’t say we’re going to tune in the next time sailing is on TV either. Unless a boat sinks.

Billiards

Pool, snooker, billiards, it’s all boring as heck. Yet this is one of those sports that people seem to genuinely enjoy watching.

The only time we’ve ever watched is when we’re waiting for our turn at the local pub. Hurry up and finish, we wanna play.

Softball

Oh purrrlease! What is this supposed to be? It’s like someone tried to work out how they could turn baseball into one of the most boring sports ever. Ta-da, softball was invented.

We’d rather gouge our eyes out then sit through an entire game of this. Bring back the baseball, beer and hotdogs.

Canoeing

This appeals to us as much as sailing does, ie not at all. We get that some water sports can be fun to watch, like white water rafting, but this is dull as dishwater.

Unless you’re canoeing through rocky waters and whirlpools, we don’t want to know.

Gymnastics

Another sport we tried watching at the Olympics and just couldn’t grasp it. So a load of people get on a mat and do some kind of weird dance?

If we wanted to see weird dancing we just need to head to the local bar on a Saturday night.
