I used to hate soccer a lot too, but then I started playing FIFA and watching games and I realized how much fun it actually is and how exciting it is. Some of you just need to give it a chance. If you can cope with Baseball, you can cope with Soccer.

I only really like Soccer during the World Cup, other than that I find it uninteresting.

According to dictionary.com, the definition of a sport is:
an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
so, skill or physical prowess. Ignoring NASCAR for a moment, where you have to factor in the car, golf, without question, requires skill, and is of a competative nature.

That actually works if we are talking about sports watched. Baseball is incredibly boring, same with soccer.

It takes a helluva lot of skill to do well in NASCAR but it's like you need a lot of skill for bowling, billiards as well. Bowling, Billiards are activities while the best thing I can think for NASCAR (keep in mind, I'm a HUGE HUGE fan) is either a competition or event. You can't do what they do in your spare time, which is something that bowling can do.
I have major respect for golfers and the mechanical aspects are precise but I can watch it a bit. If I can watch NASCAR for 5 hours, you essentially can try anything.
I'm picking the NBA but little beat March Madness in College.

Defenitly Hockey. When the league allows people to fight each other, you know the ratings are low.

Baseball - I generally watch only on the weekends when the yankees or Mets play a good team, and the world series. I find the game very boring, but it has some good moments.
Golf - The only good part of Golf is the scenary.
Nascar - I must admit that i watched the end of the Daytona 500 and it was pretty exciting. Short track races totally blow. Speed tracks aren't bad, and if I watch it's out of sheer boredom and in hope of a major crash.

There's really not a sport I don't like, or at least hate. Golf I've never been able to watch, but I have immense respect for all professional athletes, really. Like, even darts.

I agree, I just didn't want to say it again in this thread.. I think in order to be a sport, you need to do something athletic.
|
Sitting in a race car where temperature in the cars can reach 130, the G's on your body, hell you can lose anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds during the race, you need to be a athletic racer if you want to have a successful career.

It's real hard to like college basketball when your coach is Tommy Amaker.

I'm sure, but it's just taste. People around the world probably feel the same way about American football.

I hope we sell Baseball to japan...in fact, lets just give it to them.
You people that say NASCAR and soccer are boring, you are awfully hypocritical if you like baseball or think it is exciting. I completely understand the game and still hate it. Buch of athletes that weren't athletic enough to play real sports, so they opt to juice up and just stand around waiting for the all to come their direction (of course i over-exagerate, but as an outsider, that is baseball's image right now).

Hockey is the best sport to watch live...
and i don't like or follow hockey...
I hate Basketball, it is extremely boring to me, I'd acutally rather watch it than go to a game, that way i can change the channel.
