There a lot of reasons why some people may not like a particular sport, some of it been because of the level of activity that is put in to playing the sport sometimes these reasons are the reverse and it is why people actually like them. But for me I think the more the energy and the risk put into a sport sort of makes me like them more.
Growing up for me it was easy for me to to like football because it was the most common sports everyone there to watch on the streets and the home, football was advertised and celebrated among the advertisement we see on TV back then and so it was more common to love what you see around.
But growing up I came to begin to love speed sports, any sports that had to do with time racing and all and not just counting points based on tactics applied. I followed my first Olympic game and came to love it on the tracks where men and women lineup based on their categories and the race out their lives to the finish line to get the trophies and medals this was the most interesting sports for me.
Racing running either with your feet or riding a car as long as it involves running or out running your opponents.
Recently I saw an F1 racer car crash on tracks while it was about negotiating a bend and to my mind I felt like this is a sport not the one people sit comfortably somewhere lol.
