If you hate baseball, this is the slowest time of the year in sports.

[Jacob1983]

If you hate baseball and or are just not a fan, this time has to suck for you. No basketball, hockey, or football. If you like soccer, NASCAR, UFC, golf, or tennis then I guess you can satisfy your sports curiosity. Baseball is number one right now until August when football players try to lose the weight they put on in the winter and spring.

[DAF86]

Dude, get with the times and watch the biggest sports event in the World.

[Jacob1983]

The World Cup? I have been watching some of it. Been trying to get interested in association football since last year. Takes a lot of time and dedication. You also have to deal with soccer haters in Texas which is always fun.

[Franklin]

Baseball is like Gone with the Wind imho, it seems boring at first but once you get into it, you'll appreciate it more than anything and be totally absorbed in it tbh.

Agreed.

Unless your team just sucks monkey balls.

I actually have some fun shit that I can watch such as the remainding season of the F1 season, Indycar, NASCAR and MotoGP.

[TE]

Rangers ball is a chore to watch tbh imo fwiw.

:cry

[dg7md]

Baseball is fine, but it really isn't worth dedicating to until August/September, which is when the NFL kicks off so it's almost moot. Baseball has some merit late summer, but otherwise it all doesn't really matter until the postseason time starts.

BTW i heard Qatar the oil rich and honor rich country is spending $200 Billion for the 2022 Cup. In contrast, South Africa spent $2.7 billion and Brazil spent $14 Billion for the 2010 & 2014 World Cups respectively.

By 2023, their oil deposits are projected to deplete. Lefty the terrorist, weigh in on this sh!t man.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

The World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the WORLD. The Last Finals had like 1.3 billion viewers.

So this year that hardly will be the case. WC, NBA Free agency, NFL Preseason and Season. Set until next summer. By the Cowboys season is over (midseason), NBA will be back on.

[Kidd K]

No football? ESPN talk about that shit 365 days a year. FFS they have more football shows (which are also longer) than basketball ones even during the peak of basketball season and the dead center of the football offseason. lol

Anyway, NBA has free agency and draft bullshit coming up at least. Plus there's more to life than sports too. Hit up some chicks or some video games or something bro.

[spurraider21]

i've tried, really can't watch baseball. i'll keep up, scoreboard watch, stats/standings, etc... but can't watch it and its especially terrible on the radio. at least this summer we have the Cup to keep us busy until NFL preseason

[Cry Havoc]

I enjoy the WC but man, it makes Stern look like a straight and narrow kind of dude. Shit's so corrupt it's closer to WWE than sports at times.

Nonsense. That stadium was fine, seated 80,000. The new one was/is just another toy for the politicos like (light rail) here. Christ, McDonald's doesn't ask us for money to build another restaurant. They just build it and keep all the money. We have to help pay for these stadiums and they keep all the money.

Baseball pretty much IS CRICKET! (minus the gay ass tea breaks.) Just good ol' America stealing something from the Brits and making it their own. Similar to making gridiron football out of rugby football, stealing American from the Indians, etc... Imagine if baseball paused for tea; I'm sure they had the idea of a "7th inning tea break" or some shit like that.

It's why I think the NBA should push back it's season. It should start Christmas Day. That's when people start paying attention. Before that it is NCAA & NFL. NBA could dominate the summer.

[Infinite_limit]

I grew up on Baseball. My favorite sport as a child and even up until the past 5 years.

But I'm now 30 years old and investing 2.5-3 hours almost daily on a TV event is comical. They made matters worse by increasing the number of Playoff teams. When I was a child: 4 Playoff teams. That's it. 4 total

Now there are 6 division winners & 4 Wild Card teams. So the 162 game season got even more pointless. My interest in Baseball has nearly bottomed out, as has NBA over the past 3 seasons (As I've started watching UEFA Champions League which is Godly). MLB & NBA are simply sports with pointless Regular Seasons that occur for half a year, not to mention the ridiculous amount of advertisement per telecast. Give me a 47 minute Half, piss and drink/smoke at Halftime and then another 47 minute commercial-less Half. And then i'm on my way. 3 hours? What sort of loser has that amount of time.

My good friend has season tickets to Baseball and I wonder if it's worth it. He has to spend 30+ minutes in each direction driving. He can't drink & drive. He's gonna drop 40+ bucks on food for himself & date. Just seems like a waste of time to me for something that occurs 3-4 times a week if not more.

[Jacob1983]

I think the reason why a lot of Americans hate baseball or think it's boring is because of the current culture and mentality in America. We are all about instant gratification. We want to be entertained and amused quickly and often. Watching baseball and being a fan take patience and dedication. Some people don't want to put forth an effort into that shit so they hate. Football is like an HBO show. It's only a small number of months each year and it's a weekly sport. It's easier to follow and watch. Hockey and basketball are more like shows on CBS, FOX, NBC, and ABC. They start in the fall and end before summer.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

All that and yet baseball STILL shits on soccer :lol

:lol I'm a fan of both.. but how can you shit on a "third world sport" when the real third world sport took football's actual name :lol...


Every country in the world strives to be in the World Cup = third world sport
Being most popular sport in world = third world sport

You are correct to an extent but my patience and need for gratification didn't decrease as I aged, it grew. I just can't spend 162 games X 3 hours = 486 hours/a season Which comes out to 20 days of my life I'll never get back.

Let's take Soccer out of the equation because 'No Commercials' is Un-American. Ultimately I can watch every single second of my teams NFL season. It's not realistic with Baseball unless you are 12 years old with nothing else to do.

And why would I want to invest all that time when with 10 playoff teams, I only have to watch the Final 6 weeks. As a 30 year old, Baseball makes for great background noise. I can take care of business while getting hundreds of replays of anything worthwhile.

How the fuck does an NFL game telecast last 3 hours ? :lol
