There is a sport that promotes itself as "the beautiful game". I think its much like my favorite sport, hockey, and I don't think it's beautiful. So, in this poll I'd like to get a vote on what you think is a beautiful sport and then if there is much of a response I'll run another poll with the winner of the beautiful sport poll going up against the sport that markets itself as "the beautiful game". (I hope grouping Rugby and Aussie Rules doesn't offend anyone but I find them similar and quite enjoyable to watch when I get the chance)
i will go for Cricket and football but cricket is long game where as football take less time to complete whole game i will go for football.
Is it clear that the "beautiful game" (soccer) is NOT included in this poll? The choice for football mention NFL - National Football League, CFL - Canadian Football League, etc. I stated a second poll would be run if there is enough votes on this poll. The winner would be put up against soccer.
I watched a one day game once when traveling in Australia. I think it went 8 hours which is longer than the 3 hours a baseball game goes but once I settled in to watch for 8 hours it was as enjoyable as baseball.
I am not to big on extreme sports but the stuff that is done on motorcycle jumps is amazing (actually it's just physics ). Hockey I love but sometimes, especially in the playoffs, it's 60 minutes of grind it out tug of war plus a fluke goal. Basketball has been called the most athletic which I might consider a valid arguement after watching Magic, Michael, A.I., and others.
Physics and big round knobby (tires) Y, it's nuts what some of the NBS players can do. Whereas I look like George Costanza trying to jump
Beautiful isn't really the best word for it. I wouldn't consider any of the ones you list as beautiful. Cool, yea, exciting, yea, and so on. "Beautiful" is for the gay sports, like gymnastics.
