boring sports on tv (ie. football)

[stringbeans]

how can people spend a whole day watching football? ive tried it once and i couldnt even get past halftime

my buddy even tried throwing a superbowl party at his place today but everyone just decided to play gamecube instead heh

football is so much fun to play, but it sucks ass to watch.. same with baseball, golf, and curling

^ i was made to go to many foot ball games over a two year periode and slowly began to enjoy it.... but i only like seing it live.
i find watching most sports is boring.... except the olympic swimming and waterpolo. i get up and yell at the tv. i even threw something at it when there was a fucking shitty call agains tthe canadian women and they lost a chacne to score.... fucking refs....

The way most people enjoy watching sports is by getting into a particular team or players. Once you start routing for something, you become more emotionally invested into it and start to hang on every loose ball/puck/rock.

It's all subjective.

I personally hate football, but that might just be because I don't really understand it and the pace isn't fast enough for me.
My 18 year old sister is obsessed with it. Her high school had a football team, so she got to learn a lot about the sport that way. She's a football fanatic now, which is good for her because she attends the University of Oregon, which is a crazy football school.

I used to be crazy about college basketball. I could spend entire afternoons watching it. In high school, my friend and I obsessed over Mike Bibby and Michael Dickerson when they were in the NCAA finals two years in a row. I almost died when he was chosen by the Grizzlies in the draft.
Anyways, I like faster paced sports like volleyball and basketball.

damn patriots, cost me $40 this year. meh at least it was a close game and down to the wire.

foot ball would be great if they didnt stop the plays so many times... guess thats why they need such great expensive comercials.


But anyways... the last 20 minutes of the supper bowl was GREAT! Close ties are always great to watch.

golf and football are sooo boring
how can someone actually enjoy it?

[mojo]

like previous stated, they are fun to play, but boring to watch

[hardstylin]

I actually watched the WPT - World Poker Tour just before the football game started. WOW! Now this was a sport. Gave me shivers when the players would say "All in..." with 1 million to bet :284:

^ some of those poker places are stone cold to the bone. There faces are like robotic in hiding any thoughts and feelings.

p.s: i like playing golf and watching it too, though i agree playing it is more fun, watching the tournaments ain't bad either, and sykonee is right.

When u got a team to root for or a player in my case in golf. It makes anything more enjoyable but curling oh god

i love watching football but i can see how some people find it boring cause there are alot of whistles and stuff to stop play all the time etc..
