    Your point is respected.

    But I find that (and so do many others) as the beauty of the game. Anyone can play. Its like the only sport with equal opportunity.

    Baseball and hockey are very rich sports.

      Baseballs far from a rich sport. Dirt poor Dominican kids play it.

        You can play baseball on a dirt lot using broomsticks and lemons.

              All sports are boring to watch IMO. Then when you make a wager it becomes the best thing in the world.

                No need to get mad or laugh or act bitter.
                Its a conversation.
                Its just known that baseball is difficult to be successful in if you dont have money.
                Have to buy a glove, a bat, etc.

Is that why baseball is so popular even today? cause as far as entertainment value I see nothing until playoffs.
                  Baseball has become a regional sport. Local ratings are high and local TV contracts are lucrative. Meanwhile, national TV ratings are very poor. This is due to the fact that most baseball fans follow their home team very closely. If you have a baseball team that you support, the drama of the season is the backdrop for your summer. If you look at it from the outside in, it just seems like an infinite number of games that all look the same.

                        Soccer is the greatest sport in the world.

                        Baseball is boring and only remotely exciting in playoffs, when the series is tied, and the game is tied in the 9th inning, and you have money on the game.

                              nothing WORSE than watching soccer and having teams not play a true game due to aggregate BS....make the game shit IMO.....nothing worse than watching 90 minutes and ending 0-0...

                                  Draws in soccer aren't the greatest, but it's certainly a more fair practice than say the NFL overtime from years past or hockey shootouts (although those are exciting).

                                  One thing soccer does better than any other sport/league is the promotion/relegation format. This makes 95% of the regular season matchups important for EVERY team. Certainly can't be said about MLB or NBA where teams often tank or just sell off all their decent players in hopes of a better opportunity in the following seasons.

                                    agree soccer does it ass backwards too....only use shootouts in the most important of stages (world cup) ect.....NHL atleast settles them normally per game then in OT goes to the better format...

                                      The Aggregate scoring is dumb as penetrate....I mean come on......AWAY GOALS lol who cares if you lose a game 3-0 or 2-1....oh they do...its very very important...so a team down 1-0 vs a good team...is better stacking D away-instead of trying to win that game---then take their chance at home....so you get to watch a team load the box using weak counter attempts and booting the ball...how exciting...

                                        Going into a new game with an essential 2-0 lead is just dumb....it changes everything and takes away from the game in its true form....IMO

                                          The goalies in soccer are really good. In most of the 0-0 games you see spectacular saves by the goalies which are more fun to watch than goals. Anyone can score a soccer goal but only a few select great goalies can keep a clean sheet.

                                            you probably fall asleep by the time a good save is made though, and then u see its 0-0 and u lost ur bet... kinda crap
