I'm a wrestler, so I'm all for that. Though I do enjoy soccer, baseball, and some football as well. And I'm a hockey fan, though I've never played.

I don't really play sports, but if as far as watching I thing wrestling and football are the best.

Extra Note-by wrestling I mean greco roman olmypic type stuff.  not wwe or other wrestling soap operas.

I'm not into sports so I don't have an opinion on which is best. But since my family is into college football,  I watch some of it with them. I was also raised on baseball (went to lot of Padres games when I was little), but the family hasn't been paying attention to that much lately.

But if you give me tickets to any game, I'll go because being at an actual game is fun stuff despite not being into sports.

Indeed. Just to remove any possible ambiguity in my post. I wrestle folk-style (variant of free style). I am a big proponent of the sport. I love watching NCAA and Olympic free-style and greco-roman (only throws). I think that "professional wrestling" is a poorly scripted, poorly acted, abortion of entertainment pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I love playing football but it is a rough sport, and could effect you for life if you do something to stupid.

My dreams of football have ended. I tackled someone and tried to stay on my feet to make another tackle but the dude fell on my arm and ripped it out of socket. Genetically my arm was loose anyway but that was the last straw for my arm, so I have to do surgery on it and I have a few other genetic diseases that just equal too many restraints and end up taking all the fun of football from me.

Genetically I also have rather loose shoulders, and being a wrestler compounded this issue. A few times per week my shoulder would "sublex" (come part way out of the socket and then go back in). It was quite painful, but a round of icing and stretching usually fixed it. I had to get surgery just over a year ago to fix the problem in my right shoulder, and I still have it in my left shoulder.

Yes, I have sublexation. It is a big bother when your a 4back. Icing? I should try that.

Post by: Irishman on October 2, 2006 09:07 PM
Icing didn't stop the sublexion, but it did get rid of the pain when it happened. My shoulder would be stiff for the rest of the day, but that would be it.

Strangely enough, I am becoming quite interested in lawn bowls.  And NO, it's not an old people's sport. XD

Cricket is pretty cool too, and NRL... when your team wins of course.

What is pickleball?

I would imagine it can't fix the looseness, otherwise why pay for surgery?

I like swimming personally, it's a great way to have fun and stay fit.  I don't know if weightlifting can be considered a sport but I like that too.

The others?  Basketball, football, baseball...meh, I never took an interest.  It gets too competitive especially when you play with or against more aggressive personalities.  It also helps to mention I was never good at them.  XD

ya, aside from not being vary good at some of those things, people just got way to into it, like realy hardcore into it, almost scary.

Yeah, sports-wise I think I'm better off playing sports where you compete individually and not on a team.  That way you can improve on your own standards, not having the pressure of being blamed if the team suffers a loss.  Believe me it's happened more than once.

I especially love skiing and snowboarding. I don't prefer either. I like soccer, football, baseball, basketball, swimming, and tennis.

As for watching sports, I watch baseball, and I watch the superbowl, and I watch the world cup. That's mostly it. Sometimes I watch those crazy films where snowboarders and skiiers go down giant mountians during avalanche's and stuff.

I dislike any sport that is either more complex than "run forward" or more taxing than "push these buttons in the right way to make your character do things". Thus, the only 'sports' I'm interested in are running and computer games, and I'm not sure if either of them count.
