Are you a sports fan?

If so, which sport(s) do you follow? Which is your favorite sport to follow? Who is your favorite team? And who are your favorite athletes?

The only sport I really follow is NFL football. And as a lifelong New Englander, my favorite team has always been the New England Patriots.

In Ireland we have our game called Gaelic football. Plus we also have hurling. Hurling is the fastest field sport in the world. Players play for pride. No money involved at all. Been from Dublin, I would support Dublin. You simply support your home County.

See can you work out what is going on in hurling. This is why we love the game.

Also like what you Americans would call soccer. We call it football. Have both played, managed and coached kids over the years.

NFL is dead to me ,so just MMA and boxing.

 

[MainerMikeBrown]

I occasionally watch boxing on TV.

Who are your favorite MMA fighters and boxers, Izthewiz?

Anybody watching the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs ??

Round one was pretty wild. The seemingly invincible Bruins losing their series, and the defending champ Avalanche gone too. NHL playoffs are always good, but this year has been really dynamic so far.

Incidentally, wonder what happened to the original poster, haven't seen him here for a while. Hope he's doing well..

NRL in Australia.
Rugby League. A brutal gladiatorial sport. Every game you see at least one person go off the field for an injury. Head concussions have become a big talking point.

Yeah.. same thing has happened in American football. There has become a focus on head safety. But in America the focus on concussions wasn't driven by altruistic concern, it started after former players with health problems started suing the league.
And yup, Gretzky is the greatest offensive player in NHL history.. and arguably the greatest hockey player of all time. Is there much interest in ice hockey in Australia ??

Not really. Occasional novelty interest. And those movies help. Also winter Olympics promote ice skating in general.

That might be the reason things are changing here too. Partly at least .

MMA got more mainstream with UFC, introducing it to people like me. Hard to pick favourite fighters, but Khabib probably, GSP, Gaethje all great. Love the sport though, it's fast and the diverse fighting styles really keep it interesting.

Football/soccer I've always supported Portsmouth. Bit past our glory days but we'll get back up eventually.
