    The offsides rules is essential, and in my own personal opinion, once you understand it, it adds to what little excitement there is in the game.

    The flopping is so lame. I don't enjoy it at all. The same goes for the NBA. Flopping's one of the main reasons I don't watch the NBA. I don't like fake trout.

    All of them unless we're counting e-sports.

    I like watching the world cup, I wish they had a big tournament like that for every major sport.

    I'd be surprised if they don't. I know that there is the IFAF World Championship for American Football, for example, although the US didn't participate in the first two and fielded a heavily weakened team for the second two (but still won both). But most global sports have a world cup of some kind. It just happens that some sports popular in America are not so popular outside of America, and thus world cups for these sports aren't as popular or provide as good viewing.

    Oh, and this only goes for team sports, generally. Obviously individual sports tend to have multiple people from some countries etc.

    World's Popular Sports and their World Cups
    Football - FIFA World Cup
    Cricket - ICC Cricket World Cup (one day game) & ICC World Twenty20 (2-4 hour game)
    Basketball - FIBA Basketball World Cup
    Baseball - World Baseball Classic
    Volleyball - Volleyball World Championship
    Field Hockey - Hockey World Cup
    Ice Hockey - Ice Hockey World Championships
    American Football - IFAF World Championship
    Rugby Union - Rugby World Cup
    Rugby League - Rugby League World Cup
    Rugby Sevens - Rugby World Cup Sevens
    Handball - World Handball Championship
    Bowling - WTBA World Championships

    I just don't get rugby! It looks so violent and the players are always covered in blood and you can never see the ball or whatever it's called anyway!

    Also, I despise boxing. I think it's like something you would read in a history book "People would beat each other to a pulp to prove who was the strongest". I mean Jesus, it's horrific. I just don't get why anyone would want to do that to another human, and then to call it sport?! I don't bloody think so!

    My favourite sport is football. I'm a huge Man United fan.

    Golf is probably the most boring old people sport ever not only to watch but also to play. My friends and I invented extreme mini golf to just make it a little more exciting. NBA and WBA both boring as hell. Streetball is far superior and much more entertaining to watch. Professional basketball is a joke. I second that Michael Jordan era was the best.

    You must ask yourself the essential 3: Is something thrown, kicked, or swatted for points? If so, it is sport.

    Also, drunk sport is still sport. Especially if someone draws blood.

    Well they need to advertise them like the Olympics! I check ESPNNFL everyday and had never heard of the IFAF World Championship for American Football.
