Personally, I might have gone rogue and gone straight to "toe" myself.

I like Soccer, Tennis, Track and Field, Wintersports (mostlt crosscountry, sprint, biathlon, alpine, jumping and speed skating long track), K1 (martial arts), Strongmann Cool (even though the contestents are full of steroids), Female beach vollyball Embarrassed (for some odd  reason).

the lamest sport evver is racewalking I can give some respect to the contestents but it is just a lame sport WHY walk fast when you can run, Marathon actualy have some historiocal merrit but racewalking lame lame lame.Dead

I don't watch any sports.

And I'm sorry, but just because the competitors think it is doesn't make chess a sport. I'd probably lose weight if everybody watched me play music for hours a day, but that's not a sport either!

While Bridge Chess and other things like bowling can be competitions and games you have to have some kind of athletic activity ans skill to make it a sport.  Right now watching some hoops but I love American Football, Baseball and on the world stage hockey, short track speed skating and some alpine skiing

Not since 1954 anyway. I think it just got too boring for the comentators.... "Oh, what a masterful move by Ludwig Miles van der Rohe, that perfectly executed flying butress has Sir Giles Gilbert Scott on the ropes, I don't think he's going to recover from this - yes, there you have it, the gold goes to van der Rohe - a magnificent achievement, Sir Gilbert Scott takes silver."
What?

Motorsports in general, but particularly F1, Sports Prototypes, GT's and Touring Cars but my interest in WRC is wainig quite a bit now, the days of McRae, Burns, Makkinen, Sainz and Gronholm are long gone, along with half the manufacturers and teams feilding 2 or more cars that could win.

And definitely not NASCAR.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
