Sports you just can't stand to watch

Pretty self explanatory, what are the sports that you immediately turn from if they show up on tv?

Golf- fun to play, extremely boring to watch
Soccer- I love the atmosphere but the actual sport isn't very entertaining to watch
MLB Baseball- way too many games and not interesting until the playoffs(the same can apply to the NBA season but basketball is more entertaining than baseball)

And finally....

Nascar- there are very few things as boring as watching cars go around a track 500 times and I honestly have no idea what the appeal is. Some sports I can understand why people like it even if I don't but it just baffles me that this has any popularity at all. Even during the olympics they never show the whole marathon or long distance races, they show the beginning, cut to the middle a couple times, and then show the end. If a Nascar race was 5 laps I would probably watch it myself but 500 is ridiculous.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Re: Sports you just can't stand to watch

Golf.
Soccer.
WNBA or College girls basketball.

Anything else I don't mind. I use to hate watching Tennis but I actually like to watch it now, but doesn't get first priority over other sports if they are on.

Racing.

While I like hockey, baseball, and basketball, 162 and 82 games re just too much to follow game by game....

Soccer - it's down there with cricket. I prefer curling.

Re: Sports you just can't stand to watch

Can watch any time: MLB, NFL, college football, NBA

Can watch for tournaments/teams I like/important games but generally relegated to background TV: Golf, college basketball, soccer

Cannot watch period: auto racing, females playing sports, anything in highschool or below, any games ESPN pretends are sports to pass the time (pool, bowling, poker)
