What is your favorite pro sports?

30 or more years ago, Boxing would have definitely been high on my list. Growing up in the 70s, boxing was an incredible sport with a huge following and a great cast of characters. I've always liked the sport, but its damn near irrelevant now. Seems the mma style UFC has taken its place, but I just can't get into it.

Ice hockey, doesn't matter if it is pro or college. While growing up, used to pray for frigid weather so that the nearby lake would freeze. What a blast. I still have my skates(size 10) and gloves and shin pads if anybody is interested, I sure as hell won't be using them anymore.

I can't be the only UFC fan here.

Watching how the held shows safely during the pandemic was a thing of beauty. Every Saturday they had a show. There's one on now in fact.

I watch and bet on anything really but when you see point spreads on just how close they usually come it really makes you wonder.

Especially in the NFL when flags are thrown every other play and 90% of the prime time games come down to the final drive regardless of the teams playing.

Draftkings and Fanduel being sponsors probably doesn't help things. Originally Posted by paintedbynumbers

That's going way back into the Chuck-Tito days. I've done martial arts my whole life, as well as some MMA, so that probably has something to do with my fascination with it. Brutal violence...I love it.

Hockey is a distant second. I agree that live hockey is the best and it is the only other sport I follow.

I'll watch the Olympics as I enjoy individual events over team events.

I couldn't care less about football, baseball, etc.
