Competitive eating but soccer is right up there. I used to have to watch my dad and brother play and it was boring then.

I'm thinking competitive eating is more disgusting than any other sport...............'cept maybe Pro Wrestling in which many participants look like they have been in the competitive eating biz.

Soccer is not a sport. Any game that can end in a 0 - 0 tie is not a sport, it's just exercise.

Some say any activity you can do while smoking and drinking is not a sport.

If you mean as a spectator sport or competitive sport like fishing tournaments I agree. But, it's very enjoyable to do or at least it is for me. I've been a catch and release fly fisherman for about 40 years and enjoy the heck out of it.

Nope, I was just saying that fishing is a sport you can do while smoking and/or drinking.
