F1 and golf are hardly sports. I'll say polo and (association) football.

Most reactionary - any kind of sports hunting, doubly so fox hunting.

Most proletarian - football, any kind of sport that just involves running fast or jumping far, mario tennis for the Nintendo Wii.

Rowing or Polo for the former, knock-n-run for the latter.

What's knock-n-run? Is it rugby? There's a saying, I forget where I heard it but it's essentially

"Soccer is a gentleman's sport played by brutes, and rugby is a brutish sport played by gentlemen"

Dialectics (kidding. Mostly barely-concealed class politics from the British upper crust)

No, I think Americans call it ding dong ditch - it's the one where you knock on a door then run away before they can open it. When I was young we could only play soccer if John's older brother let us use his football, so we often had to find activities that needed even fewer materials than that.

Ahh yeah we call that nick-knocking. I remember a drive time duo did a skit of competitive three-step nick-knocking (you have three steps to try and hide) bit naff but mostly in good fun https://youtu.be/uyRrInqg-R0
