Ok so let's eliminate the big four, and for the purposes of this discussion let's also eliminate discussion regarding whether baseball, football, basketball and hockey are in fact the big four.
So what other sports do you like? Me, I like a whole lot of them.
Keep in mind anything you say here can and will be used against you. Some people get a kick out of putting down some of the less mainstream sports, instead of simply exercising their right to not watch (or post about) them.
I mention Manchester United in a thread and someone feels the need to come on and rip into soccer, saying it should be played by pre-pubescent girls or something. Jeez, Man U is only the most popular sports team in the world. If you don't like them, or like soccer, ignore them.
I don't get the NASCAR thing but I don't put anyone down for watching it...to each her own.
Anyway here are the other sports I like to watch, some of which are very non-mainstream:
AVP beach volleyball - you like Maria Sharapova playing tennis in a short skirt, I like Jake Gibb (and others) playing volleyball in swim trunks. Nice.......and it's truly a very exciting sport. Sean Rosenthal has a 44 inch vertical jump...and he's not the highest leaper on the tour.
Tennis - not to ogle the guys (or girls), but I have always liked to watch tennis. A great see-saw match is so exciting.
Soccer - you think crowds in the northeast US are into the baseball and football games? Please. Soccer fans around the world at the game up the intensity level significantly.
Triathlons - because around 11 AM tomorow I'm going to be a triathlete!
Bicycle racing - it's a shame the drug conspiracies have ruined the sport for me. The tactics and determination of the riders is so exciting.
Most of the X games sports - yes I like all the skateboarding, motorcyle tricks, snowboarding, and most everything else. Did anyone see Travis Pastrana do the first double back flip on a motorcycle ever two years ago? OMG it was amazingly exciting after he completed it. The sold out Staples Center went crazy, his mom was crying, he went over to apologize to her...wow.
I'm sure I'm missing some.
Here are some sports whose appeal escapes me, but if you like them knock yourself out watching them.
Figure skating in the olympics - I don't like 'judged' sports in general, and these athletes seem way too over-hyped for TV ratings.
Gymnastics in the olympics - see above.
Boxing - is it still a sport?
NASCAR - round and round and round they go. I get dizzy.
Bowling - you've seen one strike, you've seen them all. And I can't seem to keep track of the score.
Lacrosse - those goalies look ridiculous.
Women's softball - the pitchers are too good, too dominating.
