To be fair they tried that with A1 racing and nobody bothered to watch.

Fishing.

Fishomania. Lets catch a big stupid fish that's really hungry and wants to eat the bait, then declare myself a great fisherman.

They do it in NASCAR, & it works, to a degree, the races are closely contested, & no car or driver dominates. Shame the "Ovals" are so bland though.

I don't get American football either, but I know I'm in the minority here.

I didn't, until I caved and watched a game (Obv betting on it helps Smiley)

Vinni, you have listed 4 or 5 sports you don't get - but you are a Scot. Scots don't really do sport.

I enjoy cycling generally, but BMX racing is pretty lol, can't include it though as it does make me smile if I catch a bit - big legs pumping like crazy on a comedy bike.

Speedway is a great shout, but I am not a fan of motorsports in general.

Lol, you could simplify every sport to this pretty much.

But it takes time, you have to get to know the characters and people involved.

A bunch of no names driving round is of no interest to anyone.

Put Alonso, Hamilton and Webber in the same type of car and let them race.

You don't think people would watch that?

We do. Shinty, curling, haggis hurling, tossing a caber, and smoking. Bingo too, if we have any of our giro left at the end of the week.

Motor Racing.

Loads of ridiculously over paid prima donna's driving round and round a track, when realistically only one or possibly two teams can win any given race.

Why not give them all the same equipment and then we see competitive racing and the best driver will come out on top?

I don't know if it is still kicking about but they tried this a while back, no idea what it was called, probably Formula something.
