Swimming!
Rising up from the water was a bad idea anyways.

The best sports are those that require the fewest number of officials and judges. Things like track-and-field events, wrestling, boxing (if it ends in knockout, rather than decision), and most of the old-school Olympic events are great.

Things like football, gymnastics, and baseball (ah, how I hate to lump it in here), which are totally dependent on officiation, are not great sports.

European Football
I'd say F1 or rally but some people say these are not really sports because the work is done by a machine.

Cheese!

'Cheese' is a game where each player takes a straightish stick about ten or so feet long and uses it to lob a dead rat through designated goals. Only these days we don't tend to use real dead rats... we have little bags of fake fur filled with wool and dried garbanzo beans. If you play in the rain and they get sodden, they make a most authentic squelch when they hit the ground. Some players even sew little ears on them...

Erm, probably footbal.

When I was about 10, my school had a boys netball team. They were better than the girls team.

I hated netball - I prefered to run around and play football with the lads (until they grew up and developed strength and things...then it wasnt so fun for poor little me haha)

I'll totally agree with you on this, but in lieu of this not being a choice I'm going with racquetball.

I myself play volleyball at the moment. I love playing it as it's a fun game, i'm tall enough to smash and block without the need to jump high and it's a lazy game.

My favorite sports to watch:

-rugby: I've only started watching this one in the last months. There's just always some action going on. I simply love watching this one.

-basketball: I've played this one untill my team got suspended. A lot of suspense and the action never stops.

An ex-favorite sport, soccer: I've played this one for about 10 years, now my ancle is a bit broken. The major setback with this game is that most of the time is filled with non-important passes and building up attacks. That's why i don't watch entire matches anymore.

I am surprised you left off cricket, basketball and hockey.

Anyways I am pretty fond of the sport that invented with a friend. Backyard golf with a hockey stick. Basically digging holes around the backyard front yard and neighbours yards. Using a tennis ball as golf ball and a hockey stick as the club. It is really quite difficult and it was really good waste of time.

Martial arts. Kendo and iaido are my favourite. I'm intending on aikido at some point.
