Cricket, only because I don't understand it. Hated golf until I played it for a year, now I'd rather golf than play any other sport.
Most Boring Sport

height and basketball is utter bullcrap. ever heard of Muggsy Bogues?
Riiiight. So its pure coincidence that most players are tall.
Really dont understand how anyone could vote for basketball. NBA playoffs are loads of fun to watch.

How about Boule?
I think most who say sport X is boring is because they don't understand the rules.
Golf is a good example. You need to understand how hard a certain "swing" is in order to fully appreciate watching a game.

I understand exactly how golf works - I took a course in uni, play whenever I get a chance (which is extremely rare these days 
). It's fun to play, but I agree with others that it's boring as heck to watch...

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

I agree I used to hate cricket until i actually worked out the rules and now it is a great sport that I would love to watch.
Baseball though I found exceedingly dull nothing happens!! Basekball I hate with a passion. Mostly due to school bloody sports teachers.
Golf I do not understand and so cannot stand to watch it. Billards/snooker is absolutely mindnumbingly dull that is all there is to say about it.

I tried to like golf, for my family's sake. I come from an extended family of religious golfers. I personally can't stand golfing, but I've worked greens maintenance at a couple of courses and they can be fun.

Aren't you allowed to drive the golf carts even when drunk?
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

lol... it's actually against the law to operate a golf cart when drinking/drunk, at least where I'm from. Doesn't matter though. Do you know what happens when you get a group of men who work outside during the summer and let them finish work at 2:30 pm? That's right. Fridays can be crazy. I've driven tractors, mowers, carts, you name it while drinking on the golf course. Actually, that's not something to be proud of. Yet I am. Hm.

My buddy crashed a golf cart once. Right into the fence, through the fence and into a parked car. How he didn't get arrested I'll never know. He did end up paying some 2 grand in damages.
Ha! Sucker! I was clever and had already passed out in the bushes!

Golf and car racicing tops my list.
How anyone voted for rugby, I can't understand. It's fun! You get to (virtually) hit people not wearing anything but rudimentary protection (for teeth and, on occasion, testicles).

Depends what code of Rugby the poll refers to.
Union seems mind numbingly boring with too many one sided matches and too much reliance on penalty kicks to win games.
League is better with more open higher scoring games but the international level isnt much cop with Australia winning everything.
As you say it is fun to play so I voted for Cricket as my worst.

I have to go with Golf as the winner for sheer boredom, on the basis that but for the odd heart attack, no one, ever, EVER gets hurt when you watch golf.
With cricket, you have people whipping heavy stones at each other, which at least has the potential for violence. Billiards and bowling, while far from remotely interesting to watch, at least move along at a steady pace. Other sports have the potential for violence at least. So while i considered baseball as my top pick, golf wins for watching.
Playing is another thing. I would submit that once you're actually doing it, none of these are boring, atho again, I have little love for baseball. My utter ignorance of cricket keeps it interesting as i try to figure out what the hell is going on while not getting hit by a rock-thing.

Aww, you missed out the most boring sport in history - football. None of the ones on the list have a bunch of nancies running round and tripping themselves over nothing yet miraculously their super-expensive hairdo stays intact whilst they roll round crying over a grass stain on their shorts do they?

Nah, that's not BORING, just pansy.
And those shorts are probably stupidly expensive. Hand sewn walking widdershins around an oak tree under a blue moon by Essex virgins - that HAS to be worth a motza!

I would have put football on the list (soccer), but that always turns into another argument entirely. Personally watching soccer bores me to tears. It's like some people said about baseball - nothing happens. At least baseball has stats (which is why I enjoy it). Rodeo, I live close to Chicago now, if you need a place to stay, let's go to a game!
I play golf, but I dont really care to watch it. Bowling and car racing are boring. Ladies billiards is interesting if filmed from the right angle
