[US Masters](http://forums.usms.org/) for swimming. Depending on what you are looking for, but it is mostly swimming and swimming events. A lot deals with older swimmers though, but when big events come around, like the Olympics, there is a lot of discussion as well. ---

American Football? There are probably dozens, it not hundreds of them. Just about every major US University has a forum devoted to their sports, centered mostly on Football. I am sure most of the NFL teams do as well. Ditto Basketball This is a UK centric site (formerly affiliated with BBC I think) that has a rugby sub forum. and “Athletics” whatever sport that is. Not sure how active they are, though. The tennis thread is active though right now with Wimbledon going on. > **[The v2 Sports Forum](https://www.606v2.com/)** > > The sports forum community that talks about the sports you want - rugby, cricket, boxing, tennis, football, golf, even wrestling.

[Track and Field News forums](http://www.trackandfieldnews.com/discussion/index.php) are pretty good for athletics (aka track and field in the US). It is a bit US-centric, but has people from all over. ---
