I was done with the NFL long before Kaepernick took to kneeling. There's ~12.5 minutes of actual playing time in a 60 minute game that takes 3.5 hours to play. And people think baseball is slow.
I'm still waiting for full-contact golf to go mainstream ;-)
My favorite sport is NCAA D-I football.
MLB. It's known as the thinking man's sport for a reason. It ranks 2nd with me.
Motocross is exciting.
I'm in agreement with Keystone's pick with Formula One, but it's far better live.
BTW, the is one of my all time favorite movies. It's based upon a very true and even more deeply sad story:

I remember when Niki Lauda was nearly killed. He was a complete stud. He survived what should have been certain death upon only his incredible will to live. His rival, James Hunt appeared to have had a death wish. Lauda was an intellectual with amazing hand-eye coordination.

Rush has to rank right below

I met Greg Moore at the Long Beach, CA Grand Prix the year before he died at Fontana Motor Speedway. He was a consummate gentleman. We had Paddock Club passes. He exited his RV to greet his fans and sign autographs. He was especially attentive to children. As closely as I can remember, he sgned autographs and posed for photos with every kid who had gathered at his RV.
Twenty years ago, one of US motorsport's brightest young talents was lost. Greg Moore was just 24 years old when he died in a crash at Fontana on October 31 1999, but his friends and rivals have no doubt he would have rewritten the record books

I cannot fathom the risk of death that accompanies every Formula One competitor as he's seated in his cockpit, or, as James Hunt call it, his mini coffin.
