I agree with this. Basketball is a fun sport to play but not watch for the exact reason you mentioned. That's why I think sports like baseball and football have the perfect balance of scoring and tension. There just isn't enough going on in soccer...

I'm not a sports person at all, but soccer and hockey are the funnest to watch for me.

I agree with everyone so far. Watching any sport is pretty boring.

I've got a feeling I'm the biggest baseball fan on this forum. :laughing:

New question: do any British people like the Austin Powers movies?

I know where he stole the idea from...

Disturbing. :yikes:

Sad thing is like Austin Powers he used to get really hot women every week.

Well each to their own but in terms of not enough going on, i would have used golf. Too much going on is basketball. Too long is cricket. I think football is a great sport to watch, for several of the reasons that have already been given in this thread, but of course you get some boring matches. Its the same in any sport. When it comes to American sports, i can watch American football and i dont but i could watch hockey. I really dont understand baseball though, i have to admit. I dont understand the appeal this sport has to grown men. Ive tried to watch it but it looks like it should be a childrens sport to me.

As i said though, thats just my opinion. Each to their own and absolutely no offense intended. I mean, lots of guys over there like baseball so clearly you guys see something in it that i dont.

As someone who doesn't like to watch sports in general, I'm curious: what to you is a sport that does seem "grown up" and why?

Its just that no matter from which angle i try to look at it, baseball is the equivalent of the sport they made the girls and the younger boys play in school while they gave us a football.

I have tried to watch baseball a few times, fully expecting to be able to prove my childish opinion of a major sport to be untrue and nothing about the game can convince me otherwise or entertain me to the point my opinion wouldnt stand in the way of being able to enjoy it.
