If soccer is boring then why do people watch baseball? - GoFuckYourself.com

Most of the time the ball is caught via pop flies etc. Isn't that similar to the "boring" action with soccer? Still, baseball has a huge following and it was the US pastime for a long time until too many damned strikes by baseball millionaires and the rise of the Xbox/PS3 fucked its shit up a bit.

I don't think "boredom" is the real reason why football/soccer didn't take off in the US. Must be something else.

GrouchyAdmin · 06-11-2010, 03:40 PM

Baseball, there are two teams who change position.

When the one you don't give a fuck about is up to bat, you can get another case of beer.

That's why nobody in America gives a fuck about soccer: You have to keep watching it.

dyna mo · 06-11-2010, 03:48 PM

because it is a more complex sport.

SykkBoy · 06-11-2010, 03:48 PM

baseball is like a chess match
anyone who thinks baseball is merely someone throwing a ball and someone hitting a ball has never had someone throw a 90+ mile per hour ball near them...

it can admittedly get boring at times, but there are so many nuances to it that non-fans don't get...as I'm sure my fellow non-fans of soccer are probably pretty much the same...

I'm sorry, but even though I'm not a soccer fan - have you ever seen a soccer game? Fuck a broken nose or an owy rib. They get FUCKING NASTY in soccer. Cleats to the head/gut/et al.. just part of the game.

NaughtyRob · 06-11-2010, 03:52 PM

I played organized baseball from age 10-16, then played again in an over 21 year old league. I guess its what you grow up doing. I love baseball but I love soccer aka football as well.

shimmy · 06-11-2010, 04:01 PM

Baseball is way more boring than soccer. I'll watch the Soccer championship game, I can't watch any baseball game unless I'm actually in the stadium. Football is the only sport I can watch every week.

kane · 06-11-2010, 04:06 PM

For me it is all about the scoring. If you have a high scoring baseball game it can be 10 to 12. You can see guys hit 3-4 run home runs etc. With soccer a high scoring game is 3-2 and there is no chance of it being blown open. There is no grand slam or base clearing triple. With baseball, if your team is down by 3 runs you are a walk, a base hit and a home run away from tying up the game. With soccer, if your team is down by 3 goals, the game is over.

fatfoo · 06-11-2010, 05:25 PM

I think basketball is more interesting than soccer and I will tell you why. In the basketball sport, someone scores a point every 20 seconds or so. In soccer, sometimes you have to wait 30 minutes - 1 hour until someone scores.

Deej · 06-11-2010, 09:24 PM

same reason people watch nascar... which for the record is far more lame than baseball or soccer.

Chosen · 06-11-2010, 09:29 PM

Football/Soccer....Cricket...etc even GPrix ( if its a sport) are slow in part compared to Hockey

but I think the reason some dont take off in the USA is simply down to the fact they have thier own popular established sports.

Football/Soccer is the fastest growing most popular game for teens in Canada at the moment I read.

good post... i never liked watching baseball till i was older and never played as a kid... play lots of softball now and there is much more to the game then the non fan understands... i enjoy watching it now its slow paced and i can work while its on and not get distracted like a movie... also reason these are the most popular sports is cause the cost to play is the lowest

Scott McD · 06-12-2010, 02:42 AM

Yeah i try and watch some baseball over here, but i can never last a full game. It just seems to drag on forever, and some games the ball hardly even gets hit!

It's all about the pitching in baseball, and that's what makes it a pretty dull sport to watch. Ok i get that it takes skill in the way they pitch it, and to throw it that fast, but c'mon, we watch baseball to see people hit home runs etc, not swing and miss the damn ball all day.

The fact the crowd at a baseball game look so damn bored, pretty much tells it's own story...

But do you watch cricket ?

...I watch BBC world news and it includes a sports section....biz segment etc etc......and once I saw a match report for a game and he said something like well after 3 days of play it looks like this will be a draw ..im thinking WTF 3 days play...and its not finished yet and the commentator knows its going to be a DRAW !

Crazy !

Baseball is like chess, bloody boring.

PornMD · 06-12-2010, 03:34 AM

What most people would say: baseball is more complex.
The hidden answer: because the average sports fan can more relate to a baseball player. There are no fatasses in soccer whereas there's a bunch of 'em in baseball, like one of my all-time faves T. Gwynn.

GatorB · 06-12-2010, 04:19 AM

simple 0-0 games. That = boring. kick the ball one way kick it the other way for 90 minutes. No one scores. YAWN!

digi · 06-12-2010, 05:24 AM

people who say soccer is boring because of low scoring obviously doesn't understand the game. There is so much going on in a soccer game besides scoring and personally I find people who focus only on scoring to be pretty dumb..

In basketball they score so often its more exciting when one team fail to score because it gives the other an opportunity to take a lead.. so isn't that basically the same thing?

Is American Football only exciting when a team score? Fans don't appreciate a good tackle, solid defense, great runs with the ball? its just touchdowns that matter?

what he said - football is not only about goals. but of course a 4:3 is usually more fun than a 0:0

IllTestYourGirls · 06-12-2010, 06:17 AM

each pitch can be a home run or an out. 30 mins of kicking a ball in the back field gets kind of boring.

BlackCrayon · 06-12-2010, 07:44 AM

people can say what they want about each sport,it comes down to growing up around it and it being a 'national pastime. the euros love soccer, lots of americans love baseball. who cares?

Caligari · 06-12-2010, 07:54 AM

Baseball vs soccer (football)

There are two main kinds of sports IMO, dynamic action and continuous action.

American Football and baseball fit into dynamic action, where one pre strategized play triggers a series of quick reactions, then its over, there is a pause until the next play.
Its the absolute test of order vs chaos theory in sports.

Basketball and soccer (football) are continuous action and in a period of time there are dynamic reactions but they occur in the flow of continuous action. it is continuous chaos with spikes of order.

So you have preplanned strategy with dynamic action sports vs. spontaneous strategy with continuous action sports.

I for one like watching football and american football, i do not like to watch baseball or basketball. baseball only if i am there at the game.

It would seem that americans like their dynamic action sports and the rest of the world continuous action sports.

For me, baseball is usually a snoozer and the least "team sport" out of them all. I love American Football, especially the NFL.

mattz · 06-12-2010, 07:53 PM

to each his own

Amputate Your Head · 06-12-2010, 07:55 PM

Baseball is boring as fuck too. If I was forced to choose between Soccer or Baseball, I would choose the channel making the least noise so as not to interrupt my nap. They have as much interest to me as watching the 700 Club.

borked · 06-12-2010, 11:34 PM

I do agree, the France vs Uruguay match was goddam boring as hell.

Apart from that, I've watched the redsox play at fenway and I've seen liverpool play at anfield and I can tell you I would rather be in The Cop anyday, because the atmosphere at a football stadium cannot be beaten. 0-0 or not.

Like I mentioned before...17 million Americans play organized soccer. More than any other sport in the US.

It is a myth, that Americans aren't interested in soccer.

SpongeBub · 06-13-2010, 05:32 AM

I had to laugh when I heard the score from one of the big first day soccer matches in the World Cup - 0 to 0. Now how long did it take for them to get that outcome? Two hours? Jeez, that is why soccer will never catch on the the USA - we like scoring over here.

There's a big difference between participating and watching. I mean, almost all of us played tether ball or even tag ball back in elementary. Those aren't big spectator sports.

Do you have any age breakdowns for this? I say this because youth soccer is huge in this country. It seems like a ton of kids play youth soccer up until around 7th-8th grade then they branch off and start playing other sports and while soccer is still around for older kids it becomes a lot less popular.

J. Falcon · 06-13-2010, 05:58 PM

Any sport can be boring if the teams are playing like crap. It's about the match and how important it is. A playoff game will always be better than a regular season game.

That was participating in organized league play. Which too, I think makes the difference

I'm going to look for sure. I play in an organized indoor league in the winter and it's a pretty big to do here...adult 25 and up. The league is made of of two groups each group with 15 teams of 10.

im betting that 16 million of them are under the age of 15 though. big difference... We coined the phrase "soccer mom" for a reason.

Soccer also seems like a sport any kid can play, where as football, baseball and basketball they need to have a skill. baseball if you can't hit the ball you don't play. Basketball if you can't shoot the ball you don't play. Football every position is a skill position for the most part and you need to have size. Soccer, if you can't run and kick a ball then you are retarded.

Slick · 06-13-2010, 06:22 PM

I can't watch baseball games, like everyone says, the games are boring is hell, plus with the amount of games they play, watching one game really has no significance if a team wins or loses when they play 162 games in a season.

Apart from that, I've watched the redsox play at fenway and I've seen liverpool play at anfield and I can tell you I would rather be in The Cop anyday, because the atmosphere at a football stadium cannot be beaten. 0-0 or not. __________________ For coding work - hit me up on andy // borkedcoder // com (consider figuring out the email as test #1) All models are wrong, but some are useful.

It is a myth, that Americans aren't interested in soccer. __________________ Spend you some brain. Email Me

Now how long did it take for them to get that outcome? Two hours? Jeez, that is why soccer will never catch on the the USA - we like scoring over here.

A playoff game will always be better than a regular season game. __________________ Adult Copywriters SEO Content for Porn Sites sales at adultcopywriters dot com
