I voted other (Wimbledon) as I hardly bother with other sports anymore, but I always watch and enjoy Wimbledon fortnight.

Wimbeldon isn't international. Its individuals.  I mean where you play for your country.

Voted other - Olympics for me - was thinking of the Ryder Cup but you lumped the presidents cup in there which was a golf tournament invented by the yanks at the time they werent doing well in the Ryder Cup so they could claim to be best team golfers in the world .

I don't think I worded this correctly. Its supposed to be events where you compete with your nations flag on your shirt.  Wimbeldon doesn't count Masters doesn't count. Heinkin cup doesnt count. The Ashes doesn't count because that is just 2 countries, same with the international rules game.

Kinda funny that you mentioned the superbowl though Dawson. I recently stumbled on an article that said the first ever U20 World Championships in American Football are taking place this summer. And the US is playing. Those are going to be the most lopsided games in sport history.  We play the French first round :D
