Aspies For Freedom

Of the sports listed what is the least interesting? I voted nascar; cars going around in circle for hours (not that the other are any more interesting).

I would have liked an 'all of the above' option  :wink:

Golf of course, who would really enjoy going out there hitting a small white ball and walking miles only to incur more stress and frustration from a sport that is supposed to be relaxing? I watch Ron go out for a day of golf and he comes home way more stressed than relaxed, keep asking what the point is? He says. "Oh because I like it?" WTF You like the stress and frustration from hitting a small white ball?

I really can't say; they are all equally boring to me.

Why is cricket not listed? Is it too fast-paced to be classed as boring?

Sorry I didn't think of that (it's not a very big sport in the US).

That's my point: in that case, it probably wins! :smile:

As a pundit once said; "Golf is a good walk spoiled."  Second would be Nascar, watching loud, roaring machines go around and around and around and around, inhaling exhaust fumes, the smell of burning rubber.....is not my idea of a fun time!

But, Golf is my numero uno, most boring choice!!!

Peace

I voted golf.  Nascar is my second choice.

I voted Golf, even though I live next door to the town's golf club, the back of our house overlooks it so I usually see people playing this boring sport on a weekend.  What is the fun in hitting a small white ball and putting it into a hole 18 times? Absolutely none that I can see.  A walk in the country is far more enjoyable than a round of golf (unless you like golf)

NASCAR. You guys have clearly never lived in the south. Having lived in two separate places within a few miles of major racetracks(in Richmond and Daytona respectively), it is weird. They are driving in an oval! It is neither exciting nor even remotely fascinating. It doesn't even require physical ability.

I think that's basically a review of Kindergarten where they remind you of what an oval is, and which way it is driven around. Soccer is annoying because Europeans push it on us with the MLS and the New York Red Bulls and San Antonio 1846(both actual names of actual teams. Seriously).

i would like to have voted that the most boring is EVERYTHING BUT FUTBOL (soccer).

Hardly any of them even have skill involved, they're all just endurance tasks of how long you can run around like an idiot  :roll:

How refreshing to read a more open-minded view. Call me wishy-washy if you like, but I'm prepared to accept that any sport can be interesting if you take an interest. During this the World Cup season, what I find most boring is not the football but certain newspaper columnists (you know who you are) who go and on about how uninterested they are in the game. Well, duh, if you don't like football switch off your TV and go out and find something less boring instead!

Actually I was told by my mother that it's bad manners to express very negative opinions about other people's interests to their face. Say somebody asks you "Do you like tennis?" and you reply "No, I can't stand it - awful game!", then if this person happens to be a keen tennis player you've just slagged off their favourite pastime - and by implication insulted them. However this rule seems to have fallen by the wayside, at least judging by the number of negative opinions I received about the subjects I chose to study at university. ("Maths and philosophy? What a weird combination! How boring! How difficult! Rather you than me... " etc.)

If someone starts a thread about the least interesting musical instrument, what are the odds on the recorder coming up tops? Better steel myself to be insulted. :evil:
