Name a sport you just don’t understand why such a following?
Or name one you think doesn’t get enough following.

Please do not attack the people who follow these sports. Just comment on the sport itself.

For me

#1 – Nascar
For the life of me I just can’t see the thrill of watching this.

#2 – Golf
I am one of the few males that don’t like golf but it’s just way to boring for me to follow.

Any thoughts?

#1 Neckcar....whoopee,lets go in circles and flip off the drivers on TV


As for #2 Doc...In order to truely enjoy this I think you need to play it on occasion to really see how hard this sport is. Very well the most difficult sport as it solely depends on you and you only. You can't blame a shitty day on anyone but you.

I am not a fan of Nascar.
But I admire the fact that the Hillbillies have the same devotion to watching their laundry go round and round in a dryer as they do Nascar.

As for golf.....I enjoy putting balls in holes as much as the next guy, but I don't want to have to chase it 350 yds down the fairway in order to do it.

You score points in rugby when the ball literally touches the ground in the end zone. When you cross the goalline, you have to place the ball down in the end zone. That is called a "try"

This is where the term "Touchdown" in American football is derived from, but the ball only has to cross the plane of the goalline.

Well... they have these things now called golf carts... you see, you sit down in them, and press down on the pedal... similar to driving a car.... and you can DRIVE to your ball, while consuming an alchoholic beverage of your choice.

PERFECT!!!!

I can cut out the "middleman"

I can just drive the cart onto the green and deposit the ball into the hole.
There would be no more stress, no more bent clubs, no need for the gallery to shut up, etc etc

BTW.....it IS illegal to operate a golf cart while intoxicated.
