While I do not profess to enjoy a number of sports, including baseball, soccer, or golf, I do respect that they are sports, and not "lame". The one that I do not respect, as I do not consider it a sport in any quality, is automotive racing, of any classification. "This is our chance to watch cars drive!"

A lot of skill goes into Formula 1, Rally Driving etc. maybe not NASCAR though you only need a brick on the accelerator for that!

I love sport and always see if I can understand what the game is about before saying if it's pants or not.

See I don't much understand American Football. And I don't see it much on UK tv so there for I don't have time for it.

Hockey I get, So that to me is alot more interesting and fast paced which is a big bonus.

But the worst thing for me to watch has to be Cricket, I'm sorry but that to me is bloody boring. I like playing but hate watching it as they take too long for my liking.

I don't mind many sports but can do without the likes of Horse jumping and Curling and Green Bowls. Not keen on those types

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

A lot of kids play Soccer here until they're teenagers; at which point playing it makes you a pansy-ass. As for American Football I've watched NFL Europe games televised from Germany. You'll find Baseball in Canada, Japan, Korea, Cuba, and the rest of the Caribbean. Argentina, Japan, Italy, and Canada come to mind when I think to additional places where Basketball is played. The popularity is limited but oh well.

Lame sports:

- Golf :sleep:

- NASCAR :sleep:

- Cricket :unsure:

- Curling :blink:

- Bowling :sleep:

When you state that Americans don't understand those sports, you are making a wholly incorrect generalization. baseball is played everywhere on this side of the pond, Central America, Japan, etc. Basketball is played all over the globe.

Just for you Europeans who are generalizing about soccer/football in USA and Canada.. I'd just like to point out that it is the #1 group sport in terms of participation in both these countries. I just think on a professional level though, it doesn't garner as much attention, but it slowly is making its way up. Soccer is popular as hell in Canada, too bad they never field a decent team.

I wonder how all of you hate baseball so much. In my opinion it takes the most skill by far out of any sport. Having to hit a 90+ ball that can change speed, direction, anything is so hard. Then fielding although not as hard can be just as thrilling when someone dives for the ball or an error is made. Even a regular play is still fun to watch.

The most boring sport to play - tennis or cricket

The most boring game to watch - Tennis

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By NextGen_Gamer · Posted

      Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.

      Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about

      That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.

      Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
