As the title says whats your favorite sport? I was recently in a car with some friends of mine and they got into a football debate (this was about a week or so ago) I did not know what was going on but I listened. Apparently quite a few people are passionate about teams and the sports they play. So rep your team, beat your chest and talk about sports!

For me personally there is only one sport I watch and that is a good ole fashioned roller-derby

Seriously: Probably Snooker or Tennis; used to be able to play Tennis quite well until I developed Osgood Schlatter's (and apparently the type that stays with you) and had to give it up before i'd even reached British High School (around 9-10 y/o). I'm learning Snooker and becoming decent-ish at it; also fun to play and (at times) watch.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

If ping pong (IIRC) can be an olympic even, so can wargaming.

Does pulling yourself off count as a sport?

If not, Rugby.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
