The great Boxing Day Sport Sloth-a-thon is here, a day where live sport stretches out across more than a day straight. Grab a lounge, some drinks, and a nap.
After the great Festival of the Fork and Glass, one does need to take it easy on Boxing Day, and thankfully most sports around the world oblige with the Great Boxing Day Sport Sloth-a-thon.
The Great Boxing Day Sport covers more than 24 hours, going from a reasonable 3am (AEST), all the way through to the next sunrise and beyond.
What else are you going do after a big Christmas Day?
Grab a lounge and a remote and sloth the day and night away with sport.
Great Boxing Day Sport Sloth-a-thon Highlights
If you like NBA and 3am, there’s the first of five straight games of basketball to kick off the big day of sport, the poor basketballers playing on their Christmas Day for our amusement half a world way.
The big event of course is the Boxing Day test from the MCG, with a home Test Series looking evenly balanced for a change. There’s also way more cricket with Test Matches from everywhere and the Big Bash.
Of course no Boxing Day Sport Sloth-a0thon would be complete without people pretending to know something about sailing as the Sydney to Hobart jets off t some time convenient to avoid the cricket at the MCG.
As the evening closes in, those fans of A League and NBL, and why wouldn’t you be, will have something to watch. It’s a good night for Adelaide sporting fans with their Cricket, Football and Basketball team in action.
Finally there’s a full book of Premier League, Serie A from Italy, and all the divisions from England to follow the scores and watch the occasional game.
Can you watch it all? Only for the most diehard and childless sports fans out there.
