Which relatively obscure sports can i get into? I hate football and cricket. MLB and NBA don't interest me either.
>>66491736
Snooker
>>66491736
Boxing.
Exciting, hardcore niche audience, 99% of the classic fights are on YouTube, and with Mayweather and Manny retiring and Klitschko losing to a pikey the sport is about to get 50x more interesting than it has been in the last 5-8 years.
kabaddi
nfl or ice hockey
>>66491736
Divegrass, ufc, boxing, cycling, wrestling (college/olympic), track & field, hockey, rugby, whatever that austrailian rugby is, etc

It's "popular" in the same way baseball is popular. Followed by one of two gigantic countries and 15 microshitholes while the rest of the world doesn't give a fuck.

no, it's universally regarded as a dumbed down version of cricket for fat, dumb americans with no attention span tbqh

"People"
>>66492656
90% of those countries are literal whos, just like with baseball when random spic islands with the population of 5 people play it.
In all honesty the only truly "global" sports are soccer and basketball.

kek nobody gives a flying fuck about cricket here m8. I heard we beat England or something in a world cup or something and even as a bandwagon nation we didn't get behind it.
Nobody likes paki paddle.

I fucking love Aussie Rules. It's pretty entertaining. I especially like the goofy hand signals the refs do.
>>66492768
Indeed basketball. It's hard to name a country where basketball isn't at least a top 15 sport.

Basketball is casually played everywhere in the world from Greenland to Argentina and I'm absolutely positive most of the planet knows Michael Jordan at the very least, even people who don't give a fuck about sports. Can't say the same about cricket.

Why would you even want to get into an obscure sport?
If you really want to, just follow quidditch or something similarly shitty.

Handball, if you want to go across the pond and get edgy there's always Trustfund Stick. The sport itself is decent minus the repulsive culture

Furious about what? I'm just having a casual discussion, not trying to banter. You seem to be the agitated one.
>a semi-final
Except highest level events aren't the best way to judge popularity, casual basketball is played by pretty much every high school on Earth.
>1 billion people
And most of them from two countries.
OP here. I've picked UFC and boxing and thinking between rugby or aussie football.
Can you guys redpill me on these so i don't have to spend weeks researching the history and shit?

KEK
you are LITERALLY seething right now because you KNOW that I'm right. I've struck a nerve in that tiny little brain of yours with my elite, handsome and muscular truthbombs. You KNOW that your ""sports"" are irrelevant internationally. This fact disturbs you greatly.
Instead of facing the truth , YOU chose to make a series of PATHETIC statements in a desperate attempt to save face, except all it's achieved is making YOU look even more pathetic than before.
It's over. YOU cannot recover from this. Every time YOU see a post with an Australian flag, YOU will become deeply troubled as you remember the verbal beatdown YOU received in this VERY thread. YOUR heart will begin to race and the blood will pump through YOUR body. YOU will NOT know how to deal with these emotions and YOU WILL make another similar, flustered post, which will only further diminish YOUR standing on 4chan and in the /sp/ community.v
Reminder that I'm in YOUR head. Reminder I control you now, you little fucking bitch. Every reaction that YOU make is a calculated, planned reaction by ME. Whether you choose to foolishly reply, or ignore the posts like a little bitch again, YOUR status among the /sp/ community will decline.
There is no way out. YOU have NEVER met anyone as dedicated as I am, and I WILL dedicate all of my attention to wiping YOU off the face of this board.
Keep on digging your own grave though, you literal piece of shit.
I look forward to your reply, which I will not be reading.

>Rugby
I watch Rugby Union, I recommend it, though Rugby League is more niche (yet in my opinion worse).
I'm going to assume you have no knowledge of rugby union. Also going to assume you're English.
Rules explained quite well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smnuRhNtT2E
Domestic leagues: English Premiership > RFU Championship > National League 1 > National League 2 North & South
Relegation and promotion between them.
Premiership and Championship are televised, you've probably got a local club in one of the rosters that you can support.
Top 4 teams in the Premiership have playoffs to determine the champion.
Good International Cups and Leagues:
- Six Nations: Previously the Home Nations, then the Five Nations with the addition of France, then Six Nations with addition of Italy.
Tournament between England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, France, and Italy. Occurs annually.
- World Cup: Self explanatory, occurs every 4 years.
- Champion's Cup: Clubs from nations that play in the Six Nations can be eligible to play in this tournament if they're good enough.
If not, they're elibigle for the Challenge Cup instead. Both occur annually.
-SuperRugby: Argentina, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa. Fun league with clubs from each of the nations. Southern hemisphere teams are generally better than northern hemisphere teams, so this is good standard of play.
RUGBY LORE: William Webb Ellis was playing a jolly good game of football at Rugby School in the 1800s and decided to pick up the ball and run with it.
This is obviously untrue and has no evidence, but it's accepted as fact. In the 1870s there was a split between Rugby Union and Rugby League, as the amateurs in the north wanted to to be compensated for time off work to play rugby, as they weren't professional.
This caused a big split, now they're two different leagues with different rules.
Now it's a pretty big sport, really fun to watch in my opinion.

club handball is really underrated, give it a try
