    Tell us what you think is the worst major proffesional sport out there. Explain a little why you think that. I am not talking table tennis or chess, but the more name brand sports, Baseball, football, college football, soccer, basketball, hockey, nascar.....

    To each his own....

    For me it has to be baseball. Now I will admit I never played baseball growing up, so I don't have much experience. But I can not watch baseball at all. It is very slow paced and I think overall it is highly overrated. There is not enough action for me. Besides that there are so many games through out the season, it just keeps going and going. But hey no one forces me to watch it, so I don't. Nascar would be a close second...

    Baseball has more "action" time then football.

    Watching on tv is Baseball. Now if your at the games they are pretty fun.

    Why? Not disagreeing just part of the original question.

    NASCAR by a long shot. Not only is it completely unrelatable (a sport very few can enjoy recreationally), it's boring as sin. Also not a huge fan of the culture surrounding the sport :D

    Golf is a ton of fun to play, terrible to watch.

    I love watching baseball.

    Hey, to each his own, though.

    What makes it the worst would be defined by each individiual person. Worst to watch, worst because of pain, worst because of a bad sport..

    Baseball is a game of anticipation so no doubt slow for those not attracted to it.

    For me it has gotta be Nascar out of the ones listed....outside crashes, last 25 laps or being there live I lose interest.

    How would you even measure "action" time in baseball?

    I hear that ESPN is coming out with a new network...UBoreMe.... They are going to have competitive sports such as "Grass Growing", then "Paint Drying".
