In order:

Cricket (boooring)

Baseball (just as booooring)

Nascar (don't get me started on this)

American Football (each play lasts about 10secs while it takes 5mins to figure out a play)

Basketball (like the previous poster said, only the last 4-5mins of the game are relevant, and even then, the timeouts ruin it)

Soccer (the sport has gone absolutely downhill IMO, I love watching my fav team/country, but these sissy-divers who call themselves athletes act, dive, cry and moan as if they are fighting for their life every 2 seconds because they almost got tripped absolutely destroy the greatest game in the World)

Lacrosse is by no means a lame sport, lacrosse takes tremendous skill and cordination. I consider it one of the hardest sports to learn and play well at. Nothing is more difficult than trying to stop 90+ MPH solid rubber lacrosse balls from entering the net, whether you have to use your body to stop it or your net. Take my word for it ;)

I mean come on people lamest sport ever is curling.

It basically boils down to the fact the Americans only understand their own sports and the rest of the world don't understand the Americans.

Nice, but wholly inaccurate generalization.

Hockey bores me to tears on the TV, exciting to watch a real game.

Dog shows are the lamest ever. Not a sport? Tell that to ESPN who feels they need to broadcast it.

All of the sports mentioned that are actually playable by normal people are fun... If you don't think so, then you're probably someone who just doesn't enjoy physical activity. As for watching them, unless you really have a passion for one of the mentioned sports, then of course you're going to think it's boring to watch.

Nice, but wholly inaccurate generalization.

I wouldn't say so

Rugby, Cricket, Football (Soccer) - Played all over the world, not very popular in the US

American Football, Baseball, Basketball - Played all over the US, not very popular anywhere else

This thread should be re-titled the Lamest sports to WATCH, a lot of these sports you all are naming off are ones you say are boring to watch. Like golf is boring to watch, but I think it's fun to play.

I agree. People are saying bowling is boring, but when I go bowling with friends I always have a great time.

I wouldn't say so

Rugby, Cricket, Football (Soccer) - Played all over the world, not very popular in the US

American Football, Baseball, Basketball - Played all over the US, not very popular anywhere else

Baseball is played in Japan and its popular over there.

Heard of the Little League World Series? very popular also.

soccer. yawnfest and so low scoring it makes me want to punt babies

Baseball is played in Japan and its popular over there.

Heard of the Little League World Series? very popular also.

Yeah you NEVER see players coming from other countries to play basketball....There are about 10% of the league that are international. Also baseball is starting up in china and other countries (ever heard of central america) ?

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough" by Usama Jawad We have seen Microsoft resort to questionable tactics in the past to get more customers to use Edge, such as "bribing" people to use Edge, testing new behavior so that Edge loads automatically on startup every time, and pressuring OEMs to exclusively bundle Edge in Windows PCs. However, the company often receives pushback not only from customers but also from the Browser Choice Alliance (BCA). Now, the collective has penned an open letter to the Redmond tech firm to highlight its dissatisfaction with its practices. For those unaware, BCA is a coalition that touts several browser vendors as its members, including Google Chrome, Midori, Opera, Vivaldi, BrowserWorks, and Wavebox. Its latest open letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasizes that "enough is enough" and that user choice on Windows should be respected. It claimed that the company is abusing its dominant position in the PC space to push customers to its first-party browser, even if they don't want to use it. To do this, it resorts to shady tactics, some of which we highlighted at the start of this piece. It says that Microsoft is making it very difficult for users to set their preferred browser across all touchpoints. This is problematic as PCs are becoming even more prevalent in the AI era, so user choice is being restricted across even more devices, further frustrating users (and competing browser vendors). As such, BCA has urged Microsoft to take the following actions to level the playing field: Allow browser suppliers to compete for preinstallation and default deals with Windows PC manufacturers End dark patterns targeted at users seeking to download and effectively use other browsers (including as system-level default) Bring back the ability for users to make switching default browsers simple and transparent with a “single click” change for all relevant file types and apps (including PDFs) Open all web links in the users’ selected system-level browser of choice Eliminate manipulative Microsoft-exclusive banners pushing Edge in Windows, including when users are searching for other browsers Stop using operating system updates to push users back to Edge Remove the restrictive configurations of existing S mode devices that block the usage of third-party browsers. It believes that all browsers should compete on merit, as this will drive innovation and healthy competition. Despite its strong wording and publication of the letter openly, it's unclear if Microsoft will pay any heed to the BCA and if this will result in any tangible downstream benefits. We'll likely find out in due time.
