It's easier to state which sport I do care about, football & F1 not remotely interested in any other sport.
In terms of most disliked that if it mentioned on the tv or radio I have to turn over of mute it is
Horse racing and Cricket, bore me to tears these two.

I'm only really interested in football, handball and speedway.
The most popular sport that I don't give a hoot about is basketball.

The only sport I'm really interested in is football. I follow Sussex in the cricket and the Test Matches and maybe watch one day's cricket a year. I used to enjoy playing hockey, but no interest in watching/following ... if there's anything to watch or follow.
I actually quite like Baseball, American Football, Basketball and Ice Hockey. The Americans know how to "do" sports events to make them interesting even if you don't fully understand the rules.
The ones I really can't stand and wouldn't cross the road to watch include cycling, F1, rugby, anything with horses, darts, snooker, swimming.

"Golf is a good walk spoiled." - Mark Twain
Sailing.
Whilst Britannia probably does still rule the waves in the form of Ben Ainslie, it's terminally dull with made-up names for parts of the boat. The boom sounds like more of a noise than a boat section. I don't even want to know what or where the poop deck is on larger vessels, let alone swab the thing. There's about 9 races as part of the Olympics, with someone having the chance to win gold by coming in the top 17th in the last one. Even worse is when one boat just has to finish in front of another particular boat to win. That's when you get the nautical equivalent of someone driving in front of you slowly down a narrow road. You move to the left, they move to the left, you move right, they move right. And so on. Now if there was an outboard motor allowed, you'd have a fighting chance of getting through. But if you hit them, it's your fault. Your penalty? Turn around in a 360 circle before carrying on. Let's be honest, it's not really a sport, but rather more of a hobby for men who are owners of daft-looking hats and have too much money for their own good.

Golf. Just awful
Seems to be played by the most insufferable bores
Also seems to be very sexist.

Darts - I dont even think it should be considered a real sport alongside the likes of Football, Rugby and Cricket - more like a pub game.

Rugby Onion - all about kicking it out, toffs clap, kicking it out, toffs clap, kicking it out, toffs clap, penalty kick at goal, toffs clap. Only ever any excitement when an ex League player changes codes for money and forgets the new crap they have been coached and turn back to the instinct of actually trying to score a try not win a penalty - for it then to be kicked. Such a slow boring game, people who say that about having 6 tackles are just wrong - the whole point of that is to speed up the game which it does immensely and allow a platform to be built to score trys

Anyone who follows both F1 and golf should be taken round the back of the nearest Mr Byrite store and dispatched with a coup de grâce to the nape of the neck for the good of all humanity.
