I chose other because I'm into swimming. I'm not too terribly into sports other than swimming and DDR. If I could live in a pool or at the beach during the summer, I would. I find swimming highly refreshing.

I love taekwondo so much, find myself practicing without even realizing it. It is definately my favorite. I think volleyball would be my second favorite.

I have to agree with Dragonshimmer, swimming rules. I especially love endurance swimming. Actually, I don't neccesarily 'love' it, but I seem to get some strange kick out of seeing how many lengths I can swim without stopping despite the burning muscles, dizziness and gasping for air (stupid swim club, warping me for life-). Between that and my breath holding contests, I'm probably a lifeguard's worst nightmare *sheepish*

I voted boxing because occasionally I like to watch it.

For playing, I'd say air hockey, because it is the only 'sport' I can actually play and do well at (sometimes). (And I like it.)

In general, I hate sports. They are competetive and tiring.

How come you don't have basketball up there? I don't mind a pickup game of basketball now and then. Or bowling! Where's bowling?! :-P

I picked hockey, since basketball isn't there, but I don't do ice hockey. I have enough trouble just skating. Field hockey, though ... or floor hockey ... that's good stuff as long as you don't have jerks chopping sticks.

Yeah, why the heck isn't basketball up there? I play it like almost every day :P

My favorite sport.... I love so many I don't really have a favorite (I played a lot of misc. stuff in school). Some of my favorites are: basketball, football, wrestling and lately boxing or football (pro).

Favorite sport I actively play would have to be either basketball or wrestling. Watching wise, I would have to say boxing or football! :P

So I choose "other," for the sole reason I enjoy watching and playing way too many sports

Baseball!
I've played baseball in my grandparents backyard almost every day when I was younger. I wanna take up softball in college, but I'm not sure where that'll end up.

To watch, basketball and football. HS level I like football better, college level basketball by a little, and pro's football.

To play, soccer. I also like to shoot around basketball-wise and run, and have recently started swimming again. (I would consider swimming to be the sport God has gifted me the most in throughout my life).

I think basketball is a perfectly valid as an "other."

I choose football, but only because curling wasn't a choice.

Oo, don't even get me started on hockey, or the lost season. Especially in the wake of the insanity that was the Flames suddenly starting to play well, I was behind those guys 100% and really hoping for another chance to show Tampa..

OMIGOSH! I did not add basketball. I am a fool. I had boxing, but no Basketball.

My Top 5 favorite Sports:
1) Football.
2) Basketball!
3) Baseball.
4) Soccer
5) Fencing (Swords are hot)

(6 would be Hockey)

So Basketball would fit under "Other" due to my stupidity. Vote on.

I picked "other" for basketball, which is without a doubt my favorite sport of all time! I'm a huge sports fan. I participate in Basketball(7th year), Cross-Country(3rd year), and Track(3rd year). Our school is sadly too small to have Tennis, Soccer, Swimming, or Volleyball. :(

Favorites-
To Play: Basketball, Tennis, Swimming, Soccer, Dodgeball(does that count?), Cross-Country, Track, Demolition Derby*, Broomball**, Football, Volleyball, and Fastpitch Softball.

To Watch: Basketball, Tennis, Swimming, Gymnastics and Track.

*= This is a "sport" that my cousins and I made up, which involves sitting on your knees, grabbing your ankles, and seeing who falls down first by attacking each other without letting go of your feet.

**= This is a sport that my Youth Pastor made up, in which 2 teams of ten(4 defenders, a goalie, and 5 frontliners), every member holding one or more brooms, try to hit a volleyball into the opposite team's goal. You can't hit the ball into the air, but hitting other people is allowed, as long as it's not in the face. Heh heh. It's sort of like hockey...only with brooms, a volleyball, and no padding.
