HOCKEY

Hockey. Hockey. Hockey. Hockey.

Go Habs Go!!!

Rugby. Eating your dead is ecologically friendly.

Doggie ?

It is obviously baseball. American football only has about six minutes of movement for every three hour game, it's so slow.

Baseball is a game of skill and constant strategy. Every pitch is a game within a game.

NASCAR

Hockey followed closely by Ultimate.

yeah, what gives?!!! This is why one of the best sports out there struggles to keep it's head up. Everywhere you look it's omitted, and on purpose. The media downplays it until the finals then they can't get enough of it. Best thing hockey could ever do is shorten the season so tv will pick it up more. F you woot for the omission!!!!!!!

Hockey, though not sure Winnipeg counts as the "known world"

Hockey. Hands down.

Tie between paintball and parkour.

Ice Hockey!!

ICE HOCKEY. How could it not be on the list?

NASCAR!!!

THANK you, Tailgunner.

Football - 25% military strategy, 25% action, 50% boredom, the biggest guys on the planet hitting each other
Baseball - 40% history and lore, 10% action, 50% boredom, one guy gets a stick
Soccer - 75% action, 25% whining and crying because prima-donnas don't like being touched
Basketball - 70% action interrupted 1000 times because somebody got touched, 30% three-ring circus
Hockey - 90% action, 10% fighting, contact encouraged, everybody gets a stick.

Any questions?

Volleyball

I share your sentiments.
Hockey for the traditional team sports, followed by motorsports.

Hockey. a real mans sport.

Its all about the eSports. My favorite of which would be LoL.

Football and Hockey are the only sports I can stand to watch, and Football is the only one I follow.

Soccer and Basketball vie for my least favorites to watch, sitting well behind Curling, Golf, and other 1:00 AM Olympic sports.

Baseball was forever ruined for me by living in a house containing both a Red Sox fan and a Yankees fan.

Track and Field is watchable at times, but generally meh.

HOCKEY, of course.......nothing beats a good puck-off.......

Dirt bike racing, motocross, freestyle or cross-country. Calories burned 1250/hr. Avg heart-rate 180 BPM peaking at 220 when things get scary (happen alot). The chances of getting seriously hurt are greater than making it through unscathed. DIRT BIKES RULE!!!

Dude. Surfing totally wins. It's just unfortunate not everyone has access to surf areas. So maybe not as many people surf, but surfing has got to be the best sport.

RUGBY!!

Ambiguous language is ambiguous.

Woot's so called "other football" is in fact the real football....ie the one you play with your feet. The "other football", ie the American version, is a boring game to watch and takes way too long.

Best sport to watch is Rugby, closely followed by football, (the one you play with your feet).
Best sport to participate in: skiing, tennis, rowing.

Golf for sure, a sport you can play your entire life!

FRC

The real foot ball, you mean? because the other one is basically hand-egg...

How did luge not make the list?

bedroom golf....what's par for this hole?

wrestling

Disc golf!

Roller Derby!

Exactly. A bunch of prissy soccer fans apparently running the polls.

College football, the ncaa, and the bcs are the most crooked things in sports...after this penn state thing I want nothing to do with college ball. now I'm sorry I had to mix Church with woot..

Swimming and archery!

Mixed Martial Arts (a.k.a. UFC), followed closely by ice hockey, followed closely by volleyball, and then football (our kind, not their kind). I can't believe you had the nerve to even list basketball as an option.

Hockey is about to shoot itself in the foot with another lockout. That is what killed them the last time, along with the lack of national coverage.

Anything in the water...swimming, water polo, etc.
