Rugby - With the rough and tumble of the sport and their legendary drinking sessions after the game, this can only be a real man's sport. Or can it? With their fondness for mooning each other and their sexually suggestive songs, the suspicion arises that maybe these boys are trying a bit too hard to look tough. What's going on in that scrum anyway? I think we should be told. Formula 1 - Surely no one really enjoys watching this repetitive, tedious tripe? Boys like cars so we'll pretend to like it. Throw in a few dolly birds wandering round the pit lanes for no apparent reason, and it's the perfect cover for closet homosexuals. Speed walking - With their ridiculous mincing gait, speed walkers manage to make even Julian Clary look butch. However, you should never judge a book by its cover. Are speed walkers really as gay as they appear? Boxing - Suited and booted men sitting round a ring admiring the well-sculpted bodies of the semi-naked athletes in the middle. As with rugby, the suspicion arises that fans of this sport are trying a bit too hard to be macho. Also borrows the F1 trick of throwing in some dolly birds to put people off the scent. Figure skating - At first glance, this appears to be one of the gayest sports going. However, the male partner does spend most of the time holding a fit young girl in a micro-skirt above his head looking at her g-string.
I voted for Formula 1. Like you Tarquin I suspect it's a cover up and only gay men watch it because of the pretty cars and the scenery.
Is speed walking a sport? If so, definitely the gayest. Walking round a track looking like you've had a cock up your arse all night with a group of other men in a similar situation.
Badminton. Limp wristed flicking a feather-duster 'shuttlecock' over a stretched-out fishnet tight. And the loser has to eat the spunky biscuit. At least, the way we were taught it in school.
