Least favorite sport?

Out of all of the sports, what's your least favorite? Mine would be a tie between golf and nascar racing. They're both equally boring to me. But I guess I'll pick racing because being a good golfer takes quite a bit of practice to accomplish.

I would say American Football, because they wear protection. To me it is like "If you are a real man, play rugby you damned hypocrites". And the fact that rugby fans are not as raucus. (But then, I kind of equally hate football in England. But football in Japan is alright, because at the least Japanese sports fans are not overtly raucus, and do not go on a rampage whenever there is a win or a lose)

Damn, I forgot about Rugby. I knew I was forgetting something. I didn't put cricket up there either. My bad.

Rugby isn't too bad. Cricket just gets a little bit boring (British understatement), and cricket fans are not uncivilised brutes, so I tolerate it.
Oh how about polo? (And horse racing etc.)
I think however, there is one sport that one cannot 'hate' unless they are rabid pacifists who will kill you for being a war monger. Shooting. It is fun. It is satisfying. As long as you do not shoot stupidly, it is safe. It may actually help you in life (hunting, law enforcement, military etc.) I think I am becoming offtopic, but oh well.

Football is my least favorite sport.
Actually, that's putting it mildly.
It's my most hatted sport.
Actually all sports suck out loud, it's just that football sucks even louder than all the rest.
All sports sucks on wheels but football sucks on all 4 cylinders!

Kind of a tough call. It was tempting to go with either basebore, golf, or NASCAR (I guess that would be in either the "racing" or "other" category), as they are probably the most boring. However, I guess I will have to go with American footbore because not only is it boring, I live in a footbore-obsessed state so I have to deal with a bunch of annoying fans. (Basketbore is a close second.)
And crap, stupid footbore season is about to start up again.

American Football. It is the perfect example of why I hate sports. Most people I know who play it think they are more masculine than non-football players just because they play the game, along with many other things they think they are better than others with because they play it, or they think we are something bad because we don't play it. I've also noticed a lot of them tend to be idiots.
I also hate hockey pretty close because every time I say something out loud in public about how I'm not interested in hockey and how I never played hockey as a child, people usually get quite upset at me (this has even occasionally resulted in violence). But I think this is mostly a Canadian thing.

Being a Brit, I of course have to endure almost constant ramblings about the game that is referred to as "soccer" over in America. It is the national sport over here in Britain, with televised sports almost always centred around the Premiership, our top football league. Things like rugby and cricket never tend to get quite the coverage or exposure that football does, and are pushed to the side to make way for it. I've never liked football, or "footy" as it's called over here. It's a load of overhyped nonsense, our national team is always made out to be the greatest whenever it plays in an international tournament like the World Suck even though, on a worldwide scale, they are crap, and people over here are made to feel like outcasts if they don't follow the league. Yeah, even not watching other men play a game is considered abnormal over here. What exactly did go wrong? So yeah, I picked football/soccer on the list, although I did actually partly enjoy myself during the World Suck, seeing England go down like a sack of weights. They've never won the World Suck in my lifetime, and they probably never will. I'm kinda grateful that I wasn't around in 1966. Yes, we'd have had The Beatles still together and creating classics then, but the fuss over football... it would have been too much!
