Most underrated sport

Postby Str8Shooter » Oct 09, '13, 7:39 pm

Simple question, which lesser known or less popular sport to you think it underrated and you enjoy?

I'm going with Lacrosse. I know there's the National Lacrosse League, which used to have decent TV coverage here in Canada but isn't no nearly as much anymore. But it was a fun sport to watch, similar to hockey but can be played indoors or outdoors on solid surfaces or grass. Physical, athletic, and fast paced as well. I'm actually surprised it hasn't caught on more.

I think racing in general is underrated if only because many don't understand the immense physical condition you must be in to do it.

Nailed it. I love watching Handball during the Olympics. I hate that the US doesn't have a team.

Curling is underrated? Oh yah I live in Canada :lol

Anyways I think Rugby(union) is a highly underrated sport. It's lack of popularity in North America bugs me. I mean it has a decent following but it's far away from any of the Big 6 sports. It's physical and fast paced and doesn't have any commercials.

I'll go with this too. Rugby is popular here in Ireland, but it disappoints me that it's not bigger worldwide. There's never anybody talking about it online really.

Olympic Wrestling. In terms of people watching, almost nobody does. And thats mostly due to the little coverage.

I really respect people who are good at the sport. My senior year of HS some of the better athletes in my grade and I played our girls varsity coach and his brother-in-law after our school's annual muscle man volleyball tournament. To make a long story short, we got our lunch money taken. :lol
