Re: the different sports....
American Football - love it, probably fav sport. But I can totally see why people don't. Hard to go from a continuous game, to stop/start.
AFL - I don't mind the sport. Their cardio fitness is unreal. But I don't enjoy it watching it too much, unless it's a big game with tension.
Ice Hockey - Again, I like the sport, but I find it very difficult to follow, as the puck is so small.
Cricket - I tune in & out.
Basketball - hard to follow, because the coverage here is shithouse. I like it. But unless it's my team, I find it hard to follow. Until it gets to playoffs, & I usually just check the scores online. I actually think the fact that they play 84 games minimum, takes away the excitement, as they sometimes play the very next day. My favourite thing about it, is it's the sport I make the money from betting.
Baseball - only fun to bet on. I think you have to grow up with it..... They'd probably tell you cricket is boring.
Rugby - if League didn't exist I'd love it. But you ultimately compare the 2, & League is just so much more superior.
Soccer - I like it, love West Ham. But some games can be dreadfully boring. And soccer players are the biggest punces. I seen this meme, which said 'Rugby is pretending you're not hurt for 80 minutes. Soccer is 90 minutes of pretending you are.' Pretty much sums it up.
