    bowls
    Snooker
    Rugby Union – kick and clap

    I would have claimed F1 but the highlights are rather good the full thing rather dull.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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)

    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.

    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.'

    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

    Any football whatsoever
    Bowls

    Most football is like watching paint dry.
