#41You're a moron. Your argument is baseball is great cause the NFL/NBA/soccer aren't as good. If you're going to be such a fukin blowhard about your love for baseball, at least learn to argue better than a fourth grader.Comment -

i gave you a list of sports and shit that goes on and you think those are more entertaining? if so, then so be it ...
but the fact that you say baseball is boring because there is no scoring within 4 games is just absolutely dumb
there have been times where they had soccer games on all day and all the scores were 0-0, 1-0, 1-1 after 90 minutes ... yeah thats really entertaining to most people but the others dont sit on an online forum and cry about it. instead of crying about it they just dont watch the sport.

#46i never said baseball was the greatest sport to watch on TV .. i am simply asking you what makes other sports more entertaining than baseball?

I'm simply asking a baseball fan, such as yourself (although you do seem to lack any ability to argue intelligently, so maybe someone else should give it a shot), to explain to me why baseball is popular enough to sustain itself and give these TV stations reason to broadcast it.Comment -

#48They don't show soccer games on US television 7 days a week for any league, nor is it on sportscenter for 75% of the show during the summer. And I understand that, soccer just isn't as popular in the US.

#51Why? They don't broadcast MLS, on any major network for the most part, and I would put that mostly garbage product on par with baseball. Yet I see baseball on major networks almost every night. Just because it's "america's pasttime"? Is that why baseball is so popular even today? cause as far as entertainment value I see nothing until playoffs.Comment -

#55its 3x as entertaining as soccer sorry but it is though its a slow game that's much much better live. people say that about most sporting events but baseball is really a lot better. Lucky for me I get to watch the Dodgers back to being the Dodgers ....the McCourt era was tough.Comment -

Its a simple answer- revenue.
Baseball = money
Soccer does not.Comment -

#58Yeah I understand that. I was trying to get a reason(s) why baseball remains, for the most part, popular. And what people find so entertaining about it. The "live" reasoning is somewhat understandable, I'll go to a game every now and then and it's a decent experience. But I don't see how it is anything more than background TV for most people. It certainly is for me. I find very few baseball games entertaining enough for it to be something I can intently watch.Comment -

#59cool dude enjoy watching fatass wayne rooney jog up and down the field giving the thumbs up after missing yet another goal lets be honest soccer is a horrible sport with the rules the way they are refs that can add or take away as much time as they see fit, guys flopping all over the place at the slightest contact dudes faking injurys to blow time. I could go on for a while .Comment -

And yes, diving in soccer blows, can't argue with you on that one. But missing yet another goal? Do you realize how often baseball players "fail" with RISP. But I never started this thread for a soccer Vs Baseball argument.Comment -

#64Baseball is a thinking mans game, either you get it, or you don't.
Soccer will never warm up to the American public, they like scoring, they don't get off on 4 minute volley midfield kicks back and forth.Comment -
