I guess you have to play the sport to truly experience it. At first I thought American Football was boring to watch. Then I played for my high schools football team cause my schools basketball team was a little racist(I'm hating cause I had a better shooting percentage and higher assists per game then our starting PG). Besides that point. I played safety on my team and just saw a whole new outlook of it. The complexities of Am.Football beats out all other sports in my opinion. I base this on the teamwork and execution of each play. One mistake can end your career also.

Am.Football- Fun to play (not so fun to watch if you don't know what you're looking at)
Basketball- Definitely fun to play and to watch but the teamwork isn't as important as it is for Football
Golf- Boring to watch, very frustrating to play.. and expensive
Tennis- This sport I find fun to watch, cause I play a little with my girl
Baseball- Let's face it.. Americas Past-time sport is a little lazy.
Soccer- Fun to play, and watching it constantly teases you with shots that just fly right over the goals.

Same could be said for Soccer. Is dribbling the ball at mid field really action?

So much non action , u basically watching the refs calling outs and coaches coming up with game plans and then having 5 sec action here and there.

And if your wondering am an American to so this says much but hey we all have our opinions.

Its all a matter of preference. I would rather watch American football because I find it to be more exciting than soccer, which is probably because I played in high school so I can relate to it. I appreciate European Football, but I just find American Football more entertaining.


At least in American football you dont seen people flopping to try and draw penalties. ;)

Soccer or Football was way cooler during the 80's and beginning of the 90's. Now, sadly, it has lost most of its entertainment feature. Some matches are, sadly, boring. However, when SCP is playing i still go watch it with my friends and some beers. lol I still enjoy it.

American Football is actually one of the most action packed games currently played in the world. Its gathers speed, tactics, skill, strength, etc. I think its a pretty complete game and it never gets boring.

I admit that curling, golf and baseball are the most boring sports for me. I just don't get the point. :|

But above all these, give me motorsports but not on TV...watched live...in the field! ^^

Only if it were an International Sport though.

Yeah ... NO.

No sport is boring to watch if you know how it works.

Just like chess.

In American Football, the best thing I wanna see is an RB running through routes not made by LBs or TEs.

Which is why I like Barry Sanders.
