That soccer is boring. I'm european and love playing soccer but it's boring to watch.
That's pretty much all sports IMO
Can we get a sample of your username?
...a sample? Like, you want to whiff farts orrrr?
No, a little soundbite. What accent is it? French?
Aah, I see. Well, it varies based on what I've eaten. I ate maple sausage and scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and chives for breakfast so I guess it'd be an American fart?
I'm afraid I don't have one in the chamber though, so no farts to share.
Basketball comes to mind as a pretty good spectator sport. But I agree for Baseball and American Football at least
Soccer is fine. It's the flopping which makes it unwatchable.
Bro you are a full grown fucking man in the prime of your life and you just spent the last minute rolling around on the turf screaming in agony but now you're back at 100% for the next attack?
The game really needs a rule which requires any player who goes to the turf for longer than 10s to get a sub or serve a 60s penalty.
There's no soccer in Europe ;)
Only futbol.
Soccer is at least barely enjoyable.
Not like those cycling races that take 5 hours with nothing happening in them.
I think that's just sports in general. I enjoy playing almost all sportsball games. I'd sooner watch a Pong Livestream than watch 99% of sports.
Volleyball is pretty amazing to watch (and play too)
Sitting volleyball is kind of ok.
The greatest spectator sport is curling 🥌. I'm not even joking.
Well that's just it; it's not boring, but watching it usually is. Professional sports was a mistake.
OK now this one I agree with
