CFL football and a few college sports.
none lol, i use to watch NBA in the 90s to early 2000s lol
I watch hockey and CFL football. I also love watching the Olympics but I don't typically watch any of those sports outside of the Olympics.
I was a sports reporter for a very long time.
I covered everything from high school stuff, colleges, all the way up to the top NASCAR series and the NFL.
This is my favorite 'sports action' photo, taken in 2010:
Covered NCAA playoff games during tropical storms, flying dogs, and even jousting.
I watched the organizer of the original Slam Dunk To The Beach go down in flames and land in jail for all sorts of financial naughtiness.
And now....
I haven't watched an NFL game, or anything else for that matter on TV in probably a dozen years. I'll occasionally listen to a race or a baseball game on the radio.
We do go to our local minor league baseball's teams game a couple of times a year, but that's more to get out and do something fun than to watch the game.
I'm not burned out on sports, I really just lost interest in watching millionaires, or wanna be millionaires, whine and cry about how unfair it is that they only get paid what the average working stiff earns in an entire year to play a game for an hour.

I don't really watch much sports now. I mostly just watch Rugby League, especially NRL matches. I do also watch State of Origin and international matches depending on who is playing. I occasionally watch Rugby Union but I don't like it as much as league.
Evidently somebody else agrees with me:

The Year College Football Ate Itself
After months of maneuvering and spending—farewell, Pac 12; hello $75 million for Jimbo Fisher—it’s impossible to pretend it’s anything but another ruthless business.

Football, soccer, basketball, motorsports, wrestling....What sports if any do you like to watch?
If you aren’t into traditional sports, weird and uncommon sports count too.
Well i like quiet sports they are fantastic for a background noise for sleeping .

I don't watch much sports but recently I came across Octopus Racing which is rather exciting. Of course the losers are made into octopus stew.
How about throwing snail racing into the mix?
It could be entertaining then we can enjoy an appetizer.
I watch sports in bits and bobs and don't really have any favourites. Figure skating, I guess, comes the closest. I do enjoy tennis matches now and then but so many of the majors are locked away on pay channels now (plus I cut the cord) so I have to find ways to access livestreams.
I completely forgot about tennis. I love watching tennis, as long as Djokovic isn't winning. (The past decade or so has been hard for me.

There's a local minor league baseball team stadium not far from our house. We get up there to watch when we can.
I don't really care about any sports in particular. What I like is when there is other people around. Either watching sports on TV or in person, I can get into it if others are around, I feed off their energy / its contagious I suppose.
