VolleyRuller96 264 Posted January 12, 2018 #92 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Posting this here, since I don't think any sports thread will be appropiate So lately this poll has been done in The UK - what are your thoughts? Personally I am a bit surprised 40% of Brits think Football is boring Also, currently our national sports channel is doing a similar poll, only with 20 sports, including handball, volley and Ice Hockey which are not on this list. I will inform you about the results after they will be published in Monday or Tuesday My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,901 Posted January 12, 2018 #93 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Personally I would put tennis but especially swimming much higher on the boring list, cricket even higher, and darts way lower (as in more exciting) And football much much higher. Then again, it all depends on the matches and competitions, there's plenty of athletics races which suuuucked, but also plenty of American football matches which were utterly amazing (I saw 3 matches in the past three weeks and both were ridiculously exciting). If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Usually when I watch, not much happens, indeed. I usually have the 'luck' to end up watching a match with maybe 5-10 somewhat serious goal attempts and 1 or 2 goals and that's it Of course there's always exceptions, like in any sport.

heywoodu 13,901 Posted January 18, 2018 #97 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Volleyball at 4, football at 5.........alpine skiing at 11, Formula 1 at 18.....it's fun to see how this is different in countries around the world (presumably largely influenced by a nation's success, for example I can imagine that 99% of the world thinks hammer throw is the worst of all athletics events, whereas I can also imagine it would score very high in Poland ) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I would believe that quite a lot of people from countries that aren't succesfull at the sport find it pretty boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
