Favorite Sport/League

Mario Speedwagon · 05-14-2007, 08:21 PM

I figure this would be a good inagural topic for the new sports forum. Also I'd just like to see the lay out of the sports demographic on FoH.

College football for me.

Edit: Fuck. NBA not HBA.

Not sure if you count them as sports or not, but motorsports should probably be on the list. I went with NHL, but I'm also a big fan of the CFL, Formula Uh, Champ Car, and the NLL. Major junior hockey is good shit too.

I considered putting them on there but there are so many branches I just figured I'd only cover the big ones in the specific choices. I also left out tennis, golf, boxing.....etc.

If you'd asked me about this ten years ago? NFL, no question.

Now I can barely watch it anymore. I've fallen in love with baseball and there really isn't anything that can compare, for me.

I'm aware of all of the usual "knocks" on the game, and I won't even disagree with some of them; it's not for everyone.

But I really enjoy it.

MLB. College football is a close second.

psu199 · 05-15-2007, 10:53 AM

I'm a big football fan, so it's close between NFL and College football for me, but College football suffers with it's fucked up postseason, so it's gotta be the NFL.

McCheese · 05-15-2007, 11:37 AM

MLB. I don't care what people say, I like it far more than any other sport.

Tuco · 05-15-2007, 11:49 AM

Surprised there's not an MMA / UFC / Pride options.

Vim · 05-15-2007, 12:17 PM

Futbol, what you guys call soccer.

Sailing, being a sailor myself.
Formula 1, Rally and GT racing, as far as motorsports go.
Finally, Skiing!

Grumath · 05-15-2007, 12:58 PM

Im with Tuco... Other for MMA vote!

Akileese · 05-15-2007, 01:41 PM

MLB simply because of the changes with the new young stars. It's coming close to the point where in 2008/2009, if you watched haven't watched the game in a few years, you probably won't recognize 70% of the TOP stars in the game (I'm not counting over the hill guys who get big contracts simply because of their names).

The amount of young superstar plays between the ages of 19-26 that will be coming up/have come up and will be making a serious impact is staggering. It's also exciting as a fan because it signifies the end of the roid rage era that most people want to forget.

Eomer · 05-15-2007, 01:53 PM

Hockey is in a very similar stage right now as well. There's just so damn many young guys coming up, and so many guys from the 80's and 90's bowing out. Crosby is leading the charge (and may do the unthinkable and approach Gretsky's records), but there's dozens of others as well.

Moontayle · 05-15-2007, 02:20 PM

Hockey, no question, with Football a close second. I just think a game that can have the precision and flow of basketball, with the physicality of Football, is just heads above the other sports. Football would be first except they need to get rid of all the riff raff (hi2u pacman) and make it a professional sport again.
