Until I saw a game at the stadium, I would have said baseball. - Roger More Jan 5, 12:17 3
- While I still love televised baseball, it is a game that must be experienced live for full enjoyment. (nm) - Happy mu Year! Jan 5, 12:25 2
  - is it just me, or has baseball coverage on TV gotten significantly worse over the last 10 years or so. - znufrii Jan 5, 12:31
  - It's like the Avatar of sports. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 12:28

"sport"? cheerleading. Olympic sport? skeleton. sport sport? cricket. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:07 12
- since learning about it I get cricket as much as baseball. except you can still play for five days and maybe nobody wins. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 12:12 5
  - Well, at least cricket has had the self-awareness to realise it can be pretty boring and introduce new versions of the game -- nm - Roger More Jan 5, 12:14 4
    - fair enough, but even jazzed up cricket takes six hours. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 12:19 3
      - I was thinking of Twenty20 -- nm - Roger More Jan 5, 12:25 2
        
        so was I, except wikipedia tells me that's only 3.5. I'm going to see my first twenty20 this weekend. looking forward to it. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 12:30 1
        
        Hooray! (I still have to see a hockey game, but the prices are astronomical here) -- nm - Roger More Jan 5, 12:34
- Do you get luge, but not skeleton? It's kind of a semantic difference there. - Reagen Jan 5, 12:12 4
  - I always figure skeleton sledders are lugers who couldn't quite make it. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 12:14 2
    - I know people in both sports. It's more that the skeleton people are just crazier. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 12:19 1
      - yeah. I figure it's more that the origin lies in failed lugers "I bet no one else will go head first!" - mafic Jan 5, 12:24
  - it's sort of "i don't get why skeleton is needed if we have luge." -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:13
- cheerleading is a good one, too. -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 12:10
nfl. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 12:06

Cricket. As far as I can tell, it's baseball mashed with Calvinball. (nm) - Happy mu Year! Jan 5, 12:01
