Hickengruendler:

It's not that I dislike sports. If I were a member of the wizzarding 
community, I probably were a Quidditch fan. But the problem with 
reading about the games is, that once I know how the game ended, the 
section bores me, which is why I mostly skip all the Quidditch parts 
during re-reading. A sports event can be exciting to watch, but if 
you have to watch the repetition of the event it becomes boring very 
soon. :-)

I do like JKR's invention of Quidditch, however and especially her 
parody of a big muggle sports event during the Quidditch Worldcup.
