Florida’s Most Hated Activities

Not all sports are created equal, some are just a punchline to a running joke. Take for instance, this year's Olympics in Paris. Did you know that break dancing is now a real sport. Like, with gold medals and everything. I wonder if each competitor needs to bring their own cardboard? You'll see it pop up on the schedule as 'Breaking', but I'm not sure how much coverage it'll get.

Outside of Olympic breakdancing, what other sports or activities will make you go hmmm? Casino.org surveyed 4,000 Americans asking them about the most hated sports, what activities they find cringe, and the running events that make them roll their eyes. But let's just focus on Florida.

Floridian's cited the Walt Disney World Marathon as the #1 cringiest running event. Sure, it's a very well known and very well run event - but - that $236 entry fee is pretty steep. It comes with a free t-shirt, and a medal when you finish. I personally have no issue with the Disney Marathon, I wish I was in shape and could do it. But this next one, however...

For general team sports, Floridians found ultimate frisbee to be the most hate-worthy. I'm all in on this, bro. People who play Ultimate Frisbee need to constantly tell everyone that they play Ultimate Frisbee. Or just "Ultimate", and then they post it all over their insta. Like, I get it. But I'm not interested.

Floridians cited pilates as the #1 most cringe-inducing individual activity, with the majority stating that “people only do it for social media”. So why is Pilates one of Florida's most hated activities? There are over 3 million #pilatesinfluencers on Instagram. They are everywhere. And I don't even really understand what it is.

For the record, there is some dispute on the last one. Men think pilates is annoying while women say weightlifting. I can see that. Listen, you do you, whatever it is that you enjoy. People used to make fun of pickleball a few years ago, and now that sport is everywhere.
