I have heard some talk about how they don't like a particular sports because of one reason or another. Is there any sports that you are not comfortable with?

Formula 1. The sport's obscenely rich, it bribes--excuse me, charges exorbitant fees to race tracks, jet-sets to all the authoritarian hotspots of the world - and thinks they're so billy-badass that they turn their noses up at other single-seater formulas (yes, we Indycar fans, Henry, still remember Lewis & Jenson thumbing their noses at Indy a while back)....they think their balls are too big for their legs, they're arrogant pricks and its' become a boring procession most days.

No wonder the late Justin Wilson said it best when asked in the mid-2000's by the late Robin Miller why he came to North America to race Indycars instead of staying at Jaguar: "I want to win races." Can't do that in F1 unless you hit the car lottery (looking at you, Lewis, you arrogant prick!) and even then the FIA bends over for him.
 
I can't stand the "noise" produced by "pro" wrestling crowds. Don't care much for the idea of the "sport" either. :LOL:
I've visited homes where one resident or the other has been glued to a loud wrestling match on TV & I could not get out of there quickly enough.

I dislike pretty much all of them.
 
I think it's the toxicity in the sports fanbases that made me have a dislike for sports, like wrestling for example. It's very tough to just enjoy the product without having a bunch of rabid but loyal "fans" who hid themselves behind the keyboard spewing garbage on Twitter day in and day out.
 
Other than blood sports, not really.

Sure, there are some sports that have annoying fan bases (e.g. football), but that's not the same thing as disliking the sport itself.

Yeah you could just watch the sports and enjoy them without talking to people online about it.

I disagree. A lot of the fun for me comes from fandoms talking shit to each other and in general discussing/speculating what's gonna happen next or like any piece of drama. Though, unlike the poster you quoted, I actually do like WWE and its fanbase still. Idk their reason, but personally I like being in a community for something I really like, and it becomes less engaging without them.

Sorry, but I'm with @Timeline on this one. Wrestling and other fandoms on the internet brings the community together without the toxicity from others.
 
I know right, Ken? It's time to end @Nebulous' rule. I'm glad you've joined my side.

Lol jokes aside, who's your favorite TBBT character? It's my fav sitcom.
Leonard Hofstadter & Sheldon Cooper (tie)
