Top 10 sports that I will never care about

watch+with+tea+and+bad+teeth Top 10 sports that I will never care about10. Women’s basketball. I have daughters. I love hoop. I work in Greenwich Village, have college degrees, and consider myself pretty damn feministy.

But, um, Your Game Hurts My Eyes And Makes Me Want To Go Clean The Garage. Moving on.

9. NASCAR. I enjoy driving cars fast, and understand how much of a workout it is. I also get that this might be the only sport in the world, other than bullfighting, fighting or a basketball game involving Ron Artest, where you start the event with the very real possibility that you could die.

However, what you’ve got here is hours and hours of rednecks turning left, with a crowd of people that’s just some fashion discipline away from a Klan rally.
It doesn’t matter how many cameras you put into the cars, or how often your motor jockey midgets pull each other’s hair. I’m not giving much of a crap.

8. Cheerleading. I realize that this puts me at odds with the site, but until the participants add in some sex and violence, you do realize that you are drooling at the equivalent of human poodles wearing crepe paper on their hands?

It all strikes me as a stunning waste of talent, really.

7. UFC. Wildly popular, truly dangerous, and unlike traditional boxing, fans don’t have to spend years waiting for the fights they want to see.

I just feel like I need to shower after watching it. Inside my brain.

6. The NHL. I used to watch this, back when I had hair down to my ass, listened to classic rock, and thought that the two-month fight for the Stanley Cup was along the lines of religious war.

Now, I think it’s more or less soccer on skates, wonder why every year devolves down to Hot Goalie Russian Roulette, and wonder how anyone can keep track of a league that is in Columbus and Nashville. Life is too short.

5. Cricket. Let’s get this straight: games at the highest level can last for days, if not weeks, and still result in a draw. The season never ends, and is played all over the earth. And no matter who is playing it, it’s more or less insufferably British. Where do I sign?

4. Lacrosse. It’s nice that the Iroquois form of war has been more or less totally co-opted by violent white frat boys who aren’t quite Canadian enough to play hockey, and that the most famous players in the world are the Alleged Duke Rapists. Actually, it’s not nice.

3. Rugby. Look, I try not to be judgmental (ha!) of how people get their rocks off. But to do it in public, in mud, with all guys and lots of blood? That’s just not something I want to watch, folks.

2. Home Run Derby. Even if you don’t have Chris Berman hyperventilating in the most faked excitement this side of a porn film, this is still utterly freaking pointless, and something that lost whatever morbid interest it might have had with the end of the Steroid Era. If you are older than 12 and care about this, you have a problem.

1. The Olympics. Second and third tier sports, supposedly made interesting by the attachment of a flag to the uniforms of the participants. Unless you’ve got some hardcore Good Vs. Evil added to this, or a skank with a lead pipe, count me out.

What'd you think of this?
