What's this prove? Since when is yawning evidence of boredom? You're trying too hard.Dude, that doesn't happen with hardcore fans of any other major team sport on important matches. How many times have you seen folks yawning or sleeping during the superbowl or during the NBA finals? I'm sure that you being the pathological internet arguer that you are will find maybe one or two examples in history; but on these playoffs alone I caught at least 5 games where that happened, including game 7 of the ing World Series.
Did you know that there's a physical correlation between yawning and being disengaged/desinterested on something? It is physically impossible to yawn when you are going through the strong emotions that a final match involving your favourite team should provoke.
That is, of course, unless the sport you are watching is a stone age one with the dynamic of a turtles race.
Sorry, couldn't read your post. I started yawning uncontrollably after the word "soccer" and had to scroll down.
It's understandable. You are not suppossed to be interested in soccer. I expect a baseball fan that pays to see his team live, on the championship game, to be interested, tbh.
It's a wiki away.
I suppose those paratroopers were bored right before jumping from 30K feet, right? The increase of pleasurable neurotransmitters can also increase yawning:Nervousness has also been suggested as a possible reason. Nervousness often indicates the perception of an impending need for action. Anecdotal evidence suggests that yawning helps increase the state of alertness of a person. Paratroopers have been noted to yawn in the moments before they exit the aircraft.
Anyhow, what's the boring argument prove anyway? Calling something "boring" is the most simple minded and shallow argument there is. When someone is "bored" by something, it's more a reflection of bias than anything else.Another hypothesis is that yawns are caused by the same chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain that affect emotions, mood, appe e, and other phenomena. These chemicals include serotonin, dopamine, glutamic acid, and nitric oxide. As more (or less) of these compounds are activated in the brain, the frequency of yawning increases. Conversely, a greater presence in the brain of opioid neurotransmitters such as endorphins reduces the frequency of yawning.
"Well, you say soccer is boring."
Usually as a response. I find the sport frustrating because of silly like penalty shootouts and diving in the box for penalties and then basically getting awarded a free goal. I also talk down soccer because its fans think it was gifted by God himself. It's a in goal sport that has about 6 million other sports that are similar to it. Do I find its design a bit uncompelling? Sure. It's derivative, like a McDonalds cheeseburger, but I'm not "bored" by McDonald's cheeseburgers.
If yawning out of nervousness were so common why don't we see it on high pressure situations more often? Why don't we see fans of other sports yawning in finals?

Point is, yawning has various causes. Until you get those people's opinion on the game, I don't know why they yawned.
What's this prove? What's the "boring" adjective prove?
I don't know. You are the one that brought the word "boring" to the argument, tbh.
Me? You bring up the word every time as an insult to describe baseball. I think boring is a pretty stupid adjective in the first place. It's the shallowest of all criticisms.
Boring is just an opinion, you can't argue opinions. And I didn't brought it here, so I don't know why you did it, tbh.
Yes, I have seen Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and even Micheael Jordan yawn at the free throw line out of nervousness during the NBA finals. WTF brah!!!!
I have also seen Ronaldo yawn during a pentaly kick and Josh Beckett yawn during the Red Soxs final. *sarcasm* Just pure stupidness.
Seriously, baseball has a lot of dead moments (even after every single pitch) whether people want to admit it or not, and fans due yawn out of boredom during those moments.
You're implying the opinion through telling me about the people who yawned. And I know you find baseball boring, you stated it many times. I think it's a shallow criticism and runs contrary to your supposed open-mindedness toward any and all sports. ALL sports have their own unique nuances that any open minded person can appreciate and be entertained by. There's just not enough time to watch all sports, obviously.
And I agree that baseball's dead moments needed to be sped up. No reason for 30 seconds between pitches and endless mound visits.
Why are you thumb-upping son? Did you miss the *sarcasm* part?

I do find baseball boring. That's a a subjective feeling that you can't control. You either like something or you don't. And I do keep an open mind and from time to time I enjoy some particular little things from baseball.
Anyway, I'm not implying on this case. I'm just stating a fact, which is that baseball is a slow game, and even hardcore baseball fans show the results of that.
I did miss that. But I would not be surprised if it happened, since the nervousness theory has supporting evidence.Why are you thumb-uppong son? Did you miss the *sarcasm* part?

http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/08/health...hot/index.htmlWell, a new study suggests that you may not really be yawning because it's contagious, or you're bored or tired.
You're actually yawning because your brain is too hot.
Nervousness would indeed increase brain temperature.
Your sample size isn't convincing of anything. And we still don't know the root cause of yawning. Why not bring up the fans in Houston who literally did not sit down over the 3 games there?
What are the things you enjoy about baseball?
Almost everygame I catch on TV showing ar least one shot of a guy either sleeping or yawning is not a convincing sample size?
You don't even have to take my word for it. Everyone that is reading this, and is honest with himself, knows that when they watch a baseball game on TV there's a high possibility of watching at least a shot of a sleepy guy on the stands. It seldom fails to happen. You are going to say that that is not true, that I'm exaggerating, but you know it's true son. You have to at least admit that is something that happens semi-regularly on baseball games and it doesn't tend to happen in any other major team sport.
Regarding what I like from baseball: I enjoy when a guy fully connects a ball with a nice, smooth swing, a physics-breaking pitch, an impressive defensive play.
Out of the thousands in attendance. Pretty small sample size. I also fail to see the point. More people would likely fall asleep watching the Godfather or Citizen Kane than while watching Daddy's Home 2.

Not sure why it matters if someone falls asleep during a game. Over a 3 hour period someone is likely to fall asleep during any event. The difference is most sports don't get as many crowd shots as a baseball games does. I mean there's basically a constant shot of fans in the background for every pitch.
Well, out of thousands in attendance you don't see folks getting asleep in other sports, as often as in baseball, and much less on important matches.
I saw no one fall asleep this post-season aside from a kid who was probably 4 hours past his bedtime.
Baseball is boring as .
Lmao weren't you arguing with me
this time last year over baseball not being boring? Why do you get all hippie over this issue?
