Re: What is America's True Sport?
Gotta be football. I can't think of a single person I know that watches baseball even somewhat regularly. FWIW, I would much rather watch soccer than baseball.

I now know 1 person that watches baseball somewhat regularly. :smile:
Re: What is America's True Sport?
I just cannot watch baseball regularly, there are too many meaningless games in the middle of the season. It is fun to watch in August when the games start to matter, but then once football season starts, I forget there is even a baseball season going on. Baseball needs to shorten the season and end in late August in order to get some interest in it.

Crud, forgot about my cousin and his parents. He plays baseball at a JC in Oklahoma. I enjoy going to his games (played HS ball at Ames), but baseball is one of the last things I would watch on TV. More fun in person and when you know someone playing.

Football hands down.
I'd bet there's more passion for Basketball than Baseball - that'd be the real comparison.
On a side note, America does kick *** at inventing games don't we?
Futball/Rugby/Cricket vs Baseball/Basketball/Football/Beer Pong
it really isn't even close.
Re: What is America's True Sport?
Why isn't basketball an option?
Re: What is America's True Sport?
Curling and ribbon twirling.
When those arent on I watch football.

Cricket is an intersting sport. I probably spent more time watching that in Jamaica then I have the NBA the last five years....and I still don't understand the sport...

Curing is a great sport to play, just can't get the same excitment from watching it.:nah:
Re: What is America's True Sport?
If it weren't for the Twins, I wouldn't care about baseball.
