So you like sports huh? You like watching men run around on a field for 90+ minutes just kicking a ball back and forth? That is the most boring thing. Oh, faking injuries in soccer is an art form. You pay one guy like 100 million dollars just to run around for 90 minutes and sometimes make a goal. Soccer is stupid.

In real football people wear armor and have CTEs. On the flipside though, it is usually like a 2 second play, 5 minutes of commercials, and 3 minutes of instant replay. The same 4 teams go to the playoffs every year too, pretty much.

Baseball? Baseball is for idiots. Hitting a ball with a stick and watching men with mitts running around trying to catch it. The average baseball inning lasts 3 hours. Not really but it seems like it. It is a good way to waste time but that is about it.

Basketball is full of exciting , never mind. They dribble a ball and jump and put the ball through the hoop. Sometimes referred to as a dunk. This goes on for the whole game. Basketball is pointless.

Hockey, hockey is so terrible one year the finals got interrupted for pre-horse racing coverage that is how bad hockey is.

George carlin said it best about golf, it's like watching flies gently caress.

Nascar is a sport? Driving around in a circle is a sport, who knew.

If I forgot you sport of choice go ahead and list it, because chances are it is probably terrible and a waste of time too.

the biggest problems with soccer are it takes to long to make goals and it's hard to watch on tv, they should make the field smaller and solve both

I think it's actually one of the best sports to watch on tv, no commercials (except at half time).

Baseball is fun. It's best when played, failing that, seen live. It's not a good tv sport.
