CLOSED Favourite Sport- UK only!

Football Wins
I voted football, but I love to watch any sport. Notice I said "watch"
My family has a history of football involvement as both my grandfather and great-grandfather played for Watford FC (hence my intermittent aquaintance with Elton John, who is life-chairman of the club!). My dad used to be a football referee, and then I guess it skipped a generation!!!! My own son likes to play for his local team (he's only 10!) so I think he must have caught the bug.
I am not really designed for actually "playing" sport, but I love watching most of them. I especially love multi-discipline events such as the Olympics (can't wait for 2012!!!) and the Commonwealth Games etc.
I do like archery and rifle shooting (targets only!). I also used to teach Judo, but haven't done any for ages.

ps. With the possible exception of Athletics, I think the UK invented the rest of your choices. Rugby and Football (Soccer) mutated to form American Football, and Cricket / Rounders changed to form Baseball?
