[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, Impatient? How does that explain baseball, the most boring sport on earth?[/quote] Baseball only is boring if you don't understand it. And baseball has several virtues that soccer doesn't: (i) No ties. (ii) No contrived way to pick a winner (penalty kicks) when a game can't end in a tie (elimination rounds). (iii) Players don't fall to the ground, writhing in agony as if they've just been stabbed, to be carried off the field (excuse, me, pitch) on a stretcher, only to hop up and return to the game as soon as they get to the sideline. [/quote] Soccer itself has some virtures that baseball doesn't: (i) No fatsos. You can't run for 45 straight minutes with a beer belly and saddlebags (ii) No contrived way to make teams/athletes seem more interesting by announcing statistics on every possible situation and outcome. (iii) The World Cup actually refers to the World, not two cities in New York[/quote]
