    Just for a change of pace from the usual political/religious feuds. Wait for the poll.

    Obviously golf. Curling a decent second, but it's so bizarre and the novelty of watching weird-ass Canadians on skates and brooms makes it far more interesting than golf. Bowling comes after curling.

        While the "swinging a stick" and "going around in circles" option makes it very close to playing pinata, I ultimately decided the absence of candy made it pointless enough to qualify as a sport.

          Golf. Easily golf.

          Boring to watch. Boring to play.

            Look closer next time - they don't use skates in curling.
            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

              Point of order: several of the choices listed are not sports.

              Of the things listed, I'm gonna go with golf, even though I'd be hard pressed to consider that a sport.

                I love watching it during the Winter Olympics!

                  A pro golfer does more physically during a round of golf than a baseball player (with the exception of the pitcher and catcher) does during a game.

                    Please alert me the next time a pro golfer moves at a pace more rapid than "meandering".

                      Sometimes alligators wander onto golf courses. Golfers have been known to pick up the pace then.

                        See, that's the thing. Golf could be AWESOME.

                        Instead of fewest strokes, make it least amount of time from tee to hole. Make those ****ers run. AND, every foursome goes at the same damn time; contact between players allowed, but not with the clubs, obviously.

                        BOOM. I just made golf the most watchable sport on Earth.

                          In spamming the Golf thread in the sports forum a year or two ago, I did find there was such a thing a "Speed Golf" where the winner is determined by a combination of strokes and elapsed time. It's non-contact though.

                            Tweak the rules just a touch to my proposal, and you've got a winner.

                            I've got tons of good ideas for all these sports. Some day, when humanity finally acknowledges by genius and superiority, you all will benefit from my magnificence.

                              Yes, foursomes should not be rated on the fewest strokes.
