What sports do you like to watch or play?

Hockey and hockey.
- Me too

I've watched more tennis in the past couple of years than any other sport. I used to only watch the slams, but now I also typically watch a few matches from earlier rounds and everything after the Round of 16 in 1000 and 500 level tournaments.

To watch or to play?
- Good point I edited it. Either
  
  I don't really play any sports, especially these days. I had a hard time fitting in and working well in social situations so I had no interest in even attempting team sports as a kid. Later on - but back when I still had some friends left - I did enjoy the occasional 5-a-side football, but I was never a sporty kid.
  For watching sports, I find I can get into almost anything if I give it a chance. My favourite is the Olympics, and getting hyperinvested into niche sports for a month every 4 years. Otherwise I am a big F1 (and general Motorsports) fan. I used to be really into watching football (soccer) too, but that has sort of cooled into a more casual interest over the last couple of years. I still watch games frequently, but it's not the same sort of obsession.

Climbing. The IFSC World Championships are going on now through September in cities around the world. I love the combination of puzzle-solving and absolutely insane athletic performance.
Watch? None. I will join a game of soccer or basketball, and I surf.
To watch:
The only traditional team sports i can watch are hockey and American football. But I wouldn’t mind rugby or aussie rules football its just not very common in US. I find baseball and basketball and football / soccer just uninteresting.
I do find myself watching bizarre stuff on YouTube like water buffalo racing, thai longboat racing, chariot racing, and redbull soapbox cart racing etc haha
To play:
only solo sports like snowboarding and surfing
Pro Wrestling if that counts. Although I watch more for the shenanigans and drama than the athletics to be honest (haven't watched in a while though). Other than that, I don't really care much for sports.
I will say that if I'm in the company of someone I enjoy, who enjoys sports, I can adapt and enjoy it too.
