I’ve watched my Cincinnati Reds, who have really good pitching and worse than average batting, lose a few games this year 1-0.

Germany beat someone the other day 7-1. In football that would be 49-7. A 14-7 football game wouldn’t raise eyebrows at all. You can find links to hundreds of them.

7-0 is not an unheard of football score, either. It’s not common, but fans don’t say they’re quitting football over it.

Heck, that's the average score the Texas Rangers are losing by these days.

"fans not quitting"

I did. Forty years ago I used to watch (American) football games back to back. Then after a very large number of boring, low-scoring, run-run-pass-punt games in a row, I asked myself why I watched them. I stopped watching most football games.

After being a fanatic in my youth, I now see maybe four or five games a year. Don't miss it all. It's true, if they eliminated fgs and only gave one point for tds, the average score would be about 3-2. Maybe not even that. Not much more exciting than soccer.
