1 Boxing
2. Tennis
3. Bowling
4. Formula 1 racing
5. Horse racing
6. Jai alai (this almost doesn't count)

I think the Biggest loss has got to be boxing.. with all the corruption.. and thieving... it's got to be one of the more pathetic falls from grace.

I would have to think baseball should at least make the list

i didnt even know that tennis, bowling, f1 or jai alai were sports. and i wouldnt say that boxing is gone. i think we are seeing a similar decline with mma or the ufc or whatever its called. not much to watch unless you keep up with it on a regular basis.

interesting topic.

from USA fan base and headline psorts page coverage the top 2 are

Boxing

then

horse Racing

after that Indy Car Racing has to be in the mix

Tennis went to shit 25 years ago minimum.. for God's sake the us open meant tennis... not golf in 1990 and before.

Formula 1 went from hero to zero because of 2 things. No more ROAD RACING!! Which I thought was the most fkn amazing thing ever to see formula 1 cars racing through normal city streets like miami. And 2. Nascar. Now I'm barely a fan.. but they Stole what little is left of the formula series.

Personally, I take a UFC fight over boxing most weekends out of the year.

drpugilist · Sep 16, 2014

whats funny to me is that i rarely watch any more of the mainstream usa sports. in fact last night i think i was watching a motocross replay as opposed to mnf. that wouldnt have happened 15 yrs ago.

Boxing is up there no doubt... but what about NBA? I think it has eroded EVEN MORE than MLB

And, NFL is not that far behind

1. Nfl
2. nba
3. MLB
4. Hockey

And if we were to start a new thread of sports that need to go away. The wnba for God's sakes is fkn pathetic.. I live in phx and I think our lesbos beat up your lesebos. Bleagh it's repulsive.

WNBA is a joke... maybe I'm biased, I never enjoy MLB, I can only watch playoffs, regular season is such a yawn...

I think referees and new rules have ruined NBA, and will do the same with NFL in the future... I mean, I agree with your list of best sports, I'll just move hockey 3rd and delete MLB and put something else

Plus, I am one of those naggers that think all NBA generations had more talent and balls than current one... maybe I'm delusional.

Man, I so need a different haircut, wish I could pay u a visit no matter the price.
