I’m not much of a sports fan – Aussie rules is a joke, and I guess over the years I’ve watched so much Soccer and Rugby that they just don’t excite me that much.
The Olympics suffer from appalling one-eyed coverage (at least in Australia) and Motor Sport is so dominated by the excruciatingly disconnected V-8 so-called Supercars that are sucking the rest of the sport dry that it is hardly worth watching. Formula One is OK, if only they’d stop those bloody Germans from competing!
So, for me there is one bastion. The Martial Arts. Boxing is great, and I would probably have been satisfied with that except for one thing. Cage Fighting. MMA. UFC. I just can’t get enough of it. I think I’ve seen almost everything ever broadcast by the UFC, Pride, K1 and anything else I have stumbled across, and it isn’t getting old for me yet. I’ve even managed to get my old dad hooked!
