I can recommend Premiership Pro Rugby from England if they ever start it up again. It’s enough like football to keep your interest—except the players are wearing soccer uniforms instead of armor. I’ve seen no kneeling for anthems (although to be honest they do have ‘rainbow’ games). The game is pretty much continuous and like football of old players play both offense and defense.

Cricket I kind of enjoy. Baseball is considered in England a child’s version of it. Some games can go for days, but there is a version 20/20 that takes about 2-3 hours to complete a game. The best way I can describe it, the bowler (pitcher) can take a running start before delivering the pitch, and all pitches are bouncers in the dirt. The batter hits until he’s out.

I do that sometimes in the sporting goods department because they make that wonderful sound, but otherwise they're rather boring.
