    getting rid of a national sport.....
    If you had to get rid of a sport, you couldnt watch, participate or talk about it, it was just wiped off the planet, which sport out of football, tennis and formula 1, would it be?

    I hate to feel like the devil's advocate, but I just can't stand football.

    Why not include Cricket or Rugby which we also invented? F1 regardless for me

    How is F1 not a sport lol? It takes a hell of a lot of skill and balls to throw yourself into a corner at 200mph. The drivers have to have immense reaction and thinking times as well.

    Tennis for me, only good when Wimbledon is on.

    My younger self would be screaming at me, but probably F1. Even then as a kid all I was interested in was the favourites smashing their cars up, leaving the underdogs to win.

    Best race ever? Nurburgring 1999. Now couldn't care less about the sport tbh.

    football, just look at all the controversy and the players are over paid and generally have no respect for officials (there are a few decent one). This is comming from a football fan
