Baseball may be more laid back than other sports, but I’ve never found it boring. Sometimes the games can be downright exciting.

As to football, I don’t follow the NFL, but I’m a huge fan of the USC Trojans. From 1973 to 1999, I attended every home game and quite a few away games. The most boring thing about these games is the TV time outs, in which the game is suspended while TV stations run commercials. They can add perhaps an hour or more to the length of the game. TV time outs are signaled when a man with a clipboard—the most hated man in the stadium—walks onto the field.

This isn’t a problem at Occidental College Tigers games, which are not televised.

I hate baseball, which isnt even American anyway.
In fact, none of your major sports are. lol.

Actually I am a gridiron/NFL fan of 30 odd years.

But I am also a big soccer fan, and I will fire a few shots back when soccer gets bashed here.
