Is anyone interested in less popular sports? During the last Olympics I was reminded of how much I like volleyball and table tennis (as well as some athletics, especially 1500, 5000 and 10000m ).
These however, are seldom available to watch outside of major tournaments.
During the year I also enjoy watching tennis and, particularly, snooker (ok, probably a pseudo-sport or more of a parlour game than a sport).
What I particularly enjoy about all of these is that the standard of play is always good. Even when players are out of form the matches are still (generally) exciting. They're also relatively untainted (perhaps tennis less and less) by some of the worst elements of popular sports: aggressive crowds, petulant attitude, and being difficult to relate to multimillionaires on a personal level, apart from the overall excessive commercialization.
Anyone else?
