probably we should lighten up, but you’re dead wrong about soccer being boring and not having continuous action. Have you noticed the ball is in play the entire 90 minutes? Not so in American Football or baseball. Basketball much more so....I’ll give credit there.

I think it’s a matter of taste. I grew up playing football, baseball, and basketball. Football was my first love, and I’m still very passionate about the game. I lost interest in basketball in the late 80’s, but I still love baseball. Baseball is also a game that many consider boring, but there is a lot more going on than just the duel between pitcher and hitter especially when there are runners on base. That is when the game within the game begins. Is the “Hit and run” on?, will the runner just straight up steal the next base? Is the other team just going to pitch around the hitter? What is the defensive shift going to be? If there is a man on 3rd, is the defense going to play up, or are they going to concede the run? The later innings are also when strategy really comes into play. Matchups between relievers and hitters, the double switch. Baseball is a great game. I think the most beautiful play in sports is a well executed 6-4-3 double play. Again it comes down to taste. I don’t like soccer, but I can understand why others do. To each his own.
As I was saying, movement doesn’t necessarily equal action.
