Do you enjoy watching live sport on TV at the weekend and which sports do you watch?

I have the Disney Bundle, but, really, I only care about ESPN+. I have it so I can watch several sports events that I may be interested in but, primarily, to watch the National Lacrosse League, a 37-year-old league for the sport of box lacrosse. Box lacrosse is the indoor version of lacrosse and was invented in Canada about 100 years ago as a way to utilize (ice free) hockey rinks during the warm months (*). It's an exciting sport - much better than lacrosse played outdoors otherwise known as "field lacrosse".

For instance, these are some highlights from Game 3 of the 2023 NLL Championship. In a Best-Of-3, the Buffalo Bandits were in a rematch with defending champion Colorado Mammoth. Game 3 was in Buffalo this past June.

Once you experience the NLL (which is cheap to attend), your perspective on professional sports will change forever.

Attending an NLL game in Buffalo is a religious experience.
People think of Buffalo as a city of losers and they do have bad luck in pro sports - except in the NLL where the Bandits have won championships 5 times.

Every game begins with a bagpiper...

at this point I just watch the NFL... not so much of football anymore

maybe the Champions, some Euro... definitely a World Cup... but do not watch leagues anymore

will probably watch the Copa America because of Messi

I still watch college sports... basketball, few of the girls are making some noise, so that's fun again

[Little_Bumblebee]

I mostly only just watch Viktor Axelsen play badminton. (definitely not all games though.)

(He's a Danish badminton player, top ranked player)(I'm Danish as well)

[itsclearlynicholas]

No NFL or NBA or any American sports or European soccer ⚽ or UK soccer ⚽ or anything? Rugby? 🏉

[Little_Bumblebee]

@itsclearlynicholas Nah, I'm not that invested in it.

I played badminton myself, so I relate better. And it's more fun watching a sport when you cheer for someone.

[XXblack88]

Honestly not really, I rather go out and play sports then watched a bunch of grow men with a ball.

[FunkyMonkee]

No, I've never liked watching sports. The only ones I'll bother with are pool and. every great, great once in a while, I'll watch a World series game or two. The last time was maybe 20 years ago. The ONLY good thing about football is the cheerleaders but, who wants to waste 3 or 4 hours watching that stupid game on the off chance you'll get to see the girls for more than a total of 30 or 40 seconds?

I don't watch team always. I will watch tennis occasionally. I follow European darts. For a while I watched a lot of snooker.

[mandyfire98]

Nope. My boyfriend loves it so I just sit on the couch with him.

[douride2]

I'm not even into catching the NHL play offs. And I'm a Canadian hockey is our national sport.

[DrPepper12]

[exitseven]

I Still watch hockey but I have lost interest in other pro sports.

[kellytheman]

Yeah I usually watch football and baseball on the weekends. If there is no sports on the weekend I might go out and play it too.

[Harshbro]

UFC, mma is awesome. Can make some easy money too

[NYlatefun]

I generally don’t do it, I find it a huge waste of time. I only watch big sporting events like the World Cup.

[OlderAndWiser]

College football!

[itsclearlynicholas]

Rugby or Football or Soccer.

[itsclearlynicholas]

Yet I'd rather watch a movie, a show, a sitcom, or nowadays lately Netflix or streaming just to get the shows or movies I don't have or can't find or get lol 😆

[itsclearlynicholas]
