Following on from the KERS in skiing - I thought there's a sport that needs something to make it interesting to watch so....
what are your 3 most boring sports to watch?
Here's mine..
Skiing
Swimming
Basketball
XC mountain bike racing.
Soccer.
American Football.
all mountain bike racing
dressage
tennis
mountain biking
football
sailing when there's no wind
i'd actually put XC mountain biking up there
with - crown green bowls, golf, snooker, curling
F1
Surfing, one cut back is much like another more fun to do than watch.
Horse racing
bowls
Snooker
Rugby Union - kick and clap
I would have claimed F1 but the highlights are rather good the full thing rather dull.
Ice fishing
Test cricket
One day cricket
Any cricket
Junkyard, you're so wrong about bowls! Indoor bowls is fantastic!! Not as good as in the days of pipe smoking Bryant and co. but still fascinating all the same. I'm so taking it up when I'm a codger.
football
football
football
I can understand some people not liking football, what with the class division that lives on this site, but actually finding it boring to watch? Really?
I surprised that no one's mentioned angling yet. I also find golf pretty dire.
golf
snooker
tennis
(there are many more but there not widely broadcast on basic telly)
Golf
yachting
darts
Snooker
Darts
Golf
I used to say F1, but that's improved a LOT.
Now I'd go for, in this order
1) Darts
2) Horse Racing
3) Fishing
Fishing is great to do, but rarely makes good TV
swimming
anything involving horses
darts

My kids watch it cheering every single bowl down wanting it to hit something - they think itis like big marbles or something they love it I fidnd it dull.
It is great to play I agree with that but not to watch
Football, golf, cycling.
Golf
Cricket
Snooker
Anything with 'artistic impression' in it. So that's:
1) synchronised swimming
2) ice skating
3) ballroom dancing
Actually, figure skating is worst. Watch them skate in a perfect figure of 8 without flinching or deviating. Christ on a bike.
😆 No surprise to see lots of people here saying football.
I hate watching (among others):
Snooker
Bowls
Horsey stuff (apart from the National)
Apologies for more than three.
Football.
Golf.
Bowls.
Darts.
Swimming.
Fishing.
Sailing.
There's bound to be a few more 🙄
mountainbiking (all kinds apart from 4x)
equestrian sports
american football
xc biking
Surfing
Rugby
cricket
golf
snooker
weeks of boredom guaranteed.
tbh, most televised sport is boring
Sports are only boring when you don't understand them. If it were genuinely boring no-one'd watch it, and furthermore no-one'd play it either.
Football can be boring, it is my number one sport to watch while doing something else for example drinking and chating to mates or reading the Sunday papers.
Golf now that is boring to watch occasionally the last hour of the Ryder cup can be OK if it is up for grabs but that would be it for me
F1 although I could watch the start perhaps.
Most other sports are boring if you grew up watching hurling
Grass Bowling,
Chess watching
And Cricket.
(Watching -not playing)
If you can't sleep any of the 3 will help.

Yes, really. Admittedly not a fan, but I'm happy to watch most sports, and find a lot of football games deadly dull.
dominoes - world champs on tv over xmas i think i went into a coma
golf
snooker
Surfing, one cut back is much like another
seriously?
'this seemingly simple turn back into the heart of a wave's power is an excruciating test of form, challenging and exposing the skills of even the finest professional riders. In the hands of a master, it becomes a slashing, elegant work of art.'
Darts
Snooker
Darts
darts
snooker
bowling
(and golf, figure skating and horse riding(in particular dressage))
I do find surfing dull to watch, yes. It might be fabulously hard and wonderful to achieve but to watch? Meh. Swish, swish, swish, that's about it. I am a fan of mtbing too but it's also dull telly.
Premiership football
Championship football
Any football whatsoever
Bowls
Snooker
Cricket
Curling
Most football is like watching paint dry.
Rugby league - STOP you tackled me!
Road cycling - Just soooo dull.
Cricket
Snooker
mountain biking
football
F1
Run and Wriggle
Fishing
Golf
1) anything with wheels
2) anything involving hitting balls with sticks
3) anything that takes 4-5 days to produce 'a draw'
