World class badminton is wild, I can play a bit but when you see the professionals in action you just sit there & consider your life choices, it's so much faster. Rugby sevens is also an absolute blast as a fan to watch as it's quick paced & with the quicker games you're usually seeing a bunch of games in short order and it's rarely if ever dull!

Not sure if it’s considered underrated, but Water Polo to me is super cool to watch

I try & watch every sport. It took these athletes years to perfect their craft. The least we could do is watch them. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I play badminton and also give training to children. I'm not an extremely high skilled player myself, but I know how the game works.
It is such an underrated sport, people just think you play it on the beach and it doesn't mean much.
But on a competitive level it's extremely high speed and skill based. You can do much more with a shuttle than you can with a ball in tennis.
Even on the screen it looks slow, but this has a lot to do with how effective the pro's walk. The precision in footwork required is huge.

Ok, this is gonna sound like a joke, but it's a true story and I seriously recommend it to everyone. I thought Curling would be on here and for good reason. I was on a weekend get away with my fiancee back about 10 years ago... We were in the hotel room and women's curling happened to be on... As we were just relaxing and starting to get a little frisky we "thank goodness" never turned off the TV... The womens curls teams SCREAM different things during competition... So as my fiancee and I are in the throws of passion, it's as tho I have a literal cheerleading section behind me on the TV... I keep hearing HAAAARRRRDDD...." Then cheering and high fives... Simple to say it wasn't the last time we watched women's curling during love making 👍🙏

I played handball for seven years while in school, from grade 6 all the way to grade 12, and was a goalie the entire way. Let me put it this way, being a goalie in handball is like being a baseball catcher without padding; I've suffered numerous injuries due to shots hitting me hard and in bad places. Handball is an intense, fast-paced, tactical game the requires players of all sizes and shapes. I seriously wish they would broadcast it on TV more and give it a chance to rise in popularity in Canada and the U.S.

The Olympics: two weeks of sports that people don't care about the other three years and fifty weeks (with some exceptions)

I had chills watching my son run out onto our states D1 college football programs field for two state high school championship games so far (2 undefeated seasons) and hoping for two more seasons like that. I can’t imagine being the parent of an Olympian watching them at their highest level!! It’s the field every boy in our state dreams of playing on some day in high school (and girls, we saw more girls in junior high football, not so much in high school) Nebraskans football team has struggled for years but seeing your own kid run out of the tunnel onto the field with their names and pics up on the big screens is so cool.
