    Hurling
    Gaelic and hurling are my games. Big Galway fan but I wouldn't be betting on anything for us this year...


    Didn't see that more than one option was available though so just ticked the gaelic!

    F1, but to be fair, it's more a habit now than anything else. I hate football almost as much as I hate religion... almost :P

    Beat me to it :D

    For me it's soccer, MMA, and snooker. I don't really take part (except snooker, but I'm no good), I'm more of a spectator because of my lack of fitness!

    Basketball
    I don't like football (soccer) either. I watch Rugby, Boxing, F1, Tennis (well, just Wimbledon!)

    I've been almost a life long martial artist, and train as much as I can to maintain strength and flexibility, though it's been a few years now since I've actually been in a club! Can't afford it.

    Watch: rugby (five matches a year isn't so bad); national soccer team if I remember they're playing.
    Taking part: sailing

    Though as a software engineer, sports is something one should do.

    Golf
    My general dislike of sport has been one of my few consistencies right since childhood.

    I'll watch snooker if it's on (even though I'm colour-blind), and I wouldn't mind taking up one of the more graceful martial arts (like T'ai Chi) to stay in shape, but otherwise I've never been interested.

    lol, so true :D volleyball has always been the exception, other than that I only really like taking part in self-competitive sports. Ultimate frisbee is good also (even better when you switch in a frolf disc and watch someone try to catch it) :p

    Fencing. Great sport to play and watch. Apart from that martial arts is pretty good fun. Never was one for team sports.

    Other - tell us...
    Play soccer twice a week and golf once if I'm lucky. Don't watch much sport except for the Champion's League or whatever Ireland is playing.

    I find sport essential in a meaningless life. Keeps one's mind off the bleak reality of a fleeting existence. :)

    I imagine it has a lot to do with the fact that it's a sport we seem to be actually good at. It's also much more of a spectacle than the likes of [spit]soccer[/spit].

    Although I respect that other people like sport, and I think taking part in sport is a positive thing which I'm glad exists because it brings so much joy to people, I really truely hate them all, both watching and doing. My idea of hell on earth is watching sports on television, and playing them isn't far off.

    Lol, that's true, but depressing.

    I'm a Computer Science student and proud to be an exception to that rule, with a past involving the playing of many competitive sports.

    That said, while I'm a good programmer, and good at all other parts of the course too, I don't really do it as a hobby, so I wouldn't consider myself to really be a Hacker. So perhaps I'm not an exception after all....
