25. Hockey for me too
Sun Jan 11, 2026, 06:20 PM

NHL and College. Hockey players come across as more grounded and genuine than the other sports.

Huge baseball fan as a child; haven't watched a game for 20 years.

Football is OK, but they ruined College Football with the Transfer Portal and the unregulated NIL payments. Only watched one NFL game all season.

You would have to pay me to watch the NBA.
