“Soccer is the best, I love it. You couldn’t pay me to watch baseball”
I agree about baseball. It bores me to death. You see very little game action and its requires less athleticism than anyother major sport outside of golf. It also has little room for creativity. You run in straight lines. You throw in straight lines, etc. It seems like every highlight comes from one of four or five molds. One thing I love about sports are the spontaneous creative moments where someone does something you’ve never seen. You don’t get much of that in baseball. Not like a counterattack in soccer or a fastbreak in basketball
I can’t understand why anti-soccer folks are so intimidated by another sport. Its a big country, see what you want, but the bravado against soccer is just childish.
I am a long time (since day one) Galaxy fan. We aren’t so good, but I like Donovan and Buddle.
I find it extrememly boring to have a game run on a clock. How creative can you get when you have 30 seconds left. Time's up, you lose.
Though you are correct regarding "athleticism", baseball requires much more athletic "skill" and coordination. Of course, the real attraction of baseball is that there is a lot more to the game than just making contact with a 90+ mph fastball. The gamesmanship and strategy is extremely intricate. So much so that baseball is a much more cerebral game. That's probably the main reason why soccer fans can't relate to baseball.
