Not much better than golf. But golf and tennis are marginally less boring than basketball imo. What's the point of that? A bloke who's about 7ft tall sticks his 4 ft arm out to stick a ball in a net that's 10 ft high. Dull.

With you on the basketball front. Its a game for 7 foot freaks. It's like me being famous because I can put something on a reasonably high shelf. I think basket ball teams should be graded on height. Those that only contain normal people play with the baskets at their current height and those for giants have the baskets raised accordingly. At the moment its I score, you score,I score, you score,I score, you missed,I score, you score,you ,I score, you score, I score, you score,I score, you score,I missed

Dull!!

Of course, with the olympics coming along we'll once again be treated to sports that are just plain silly. Synchronised swimming and speed mincing come to mind.

The women should just stick to beach volleyball. Or at least the beach volleyball should be applied to tennis.

Slightly but I read that the IRB has included a Use it within 5 secs rule now for rucks.

This will save me a whole load of yelling at the telly.

I think that the whole 'must wear white' thing that they do at Wimbledon is a bit boring and restrictive. I'd like to see the use of clingfilm in the ladies game. I don't watch the mens game so they can wear what they want. Obviously those williams blokes must still wear their normal clothes!

To wear as clothes or as a contraceptive?

Yawn, now there's a boring game.

As if it's just players wasting time. How about a 'grow a pair, get the f**k on with it and take a decision within 10 seconds' rule for the refs and the video ref? or how about just scrapping the video ref and accepting that refs make mistakes?

I fail to see why all the grunting etc is needed. Smacking a ball doesn't require that much effort.
