Any sport, baseball anyone?, is boring when you are not vested in one of the teams playing.

You want boring? A 9-6 Field Goal Fest between the Cardinals and the Titans, if you’re not a fan of either team.

MLB baseball actually is my favorite sport. I completely understand why others find it boring, populated by players from the Third World, etc. I just do not see many FR threads about MLB containing many comments about the same.

Indeed, you make a good point. Two of my favorite sports are golf and cycling. They are hard for those who don't, or haven't participate d to watch.Recently I got caught up watching a darts tournament final round. I thought it was great because I used to toss a bit myself.

I think soccer has a lot going for it because it is so universal. I think I was turned off by the way American wussies got a hold of it and turned it into a pansy game with boys and girls playing together, sometimes even with no keeping of the score.
