Ooooh, a "here's why I like/dislike that sport" discussion!  I like those!

I recently heard survey results in which people were asked their least
favorite televised sports.  (Sorry, I looked for a link and came up
empty, so this is from memory).  

Four of the Top 10 Least Favorite Sports were professional golf. 
LPGA, PGA Masters and two other variants of professional golf.

Men's Pro Tennis was Number 10.  (Oh, come on.  It's not *that* dull
to watch.)

NASCAR was Number 5 or so.

Synchronized swimming, for some reason, did not make the cut.  ;-)

Seriously, then.  How come there is so darn much golf and NASCAR on TV
if so many people don't like to watch it?
