    I like to play tennis, basketball. I only like to watch basketball though - watching tennis is a drag.

    Cricket is a mostly British sport that spread throughout the world to places like India and Australia via the British Empire in the 1800s. It's the sport that "inspired" baseball, in the same way rugby inspired American football.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket

    You can read about cricket there. Cricket is, strangely, most noteable for being the only major "world" sport that doesn't expressly forbid mixed-gender teams in its rules.

    collegiate wrestling. It is one of the purest forms of athleticism. People have been wrestling with each other since people have been around. There is no strange goal to the game (i.e getting a ball into a hole), it is simply one of the things humans naturally do. That is why it is so easy to start as a beginner -- our bodies are made for it.

    I like to play tennis and badminton. Basically any racket sports.

    But I'll watch basically any sport. Mainly basketball, baseball, and tennis though.

    Mmm, volleyball. I honestly can't compare beach and indoor, they're totally different. Like apples and oranges.
    One game is to outpower the other team, while the other is all about thinking. I find that after playing beach my mind is more tired than my body. Indoor is awesome cause I make sick digs when people should normally score =D

    Beach especially is extremely physical as well. 8x8m court to cover, and there are only two people. And one is blocking. So the digger (in my case, me, partner blocks) has to cover basically the whole court and chase everything down. From one corner to another, to another.

    Basketball all the way!

    Love playing basketball (even though I suck) and love watching basketball. Football is a close second with baseball last. For me, baseball is just to slow and long for me to like it.

    Soccer
    Hockey
    Baseball

    I just love watching & playing soccer so much. Alot of people don't like the fact that there isn't that many goals, but it isn't just about the goals. You have to watch the touch on the ball, the passing, the skill is amazing. There is a reason why the call it the beautiful game. Maybe I am biased because of my European roots i don't know. Hockey, well, how can I not love it? I'm Canadian lol
