    Not necessarily. Some people work very hard and have very little time even though they make a lot of money. Not everyone with a season ticket has a silver spoon. It's probably some construction workers with season tickets too.

    Yep. I don't have two of the three. Most nights the stands are not full so I am not alone. So a lot of people are not interested in going to 81 home games in a baseball season no matter why they don't attend the games.

    My soccer team's games always sell out. The away games are an absolute nightmare if you don't have season tickets... Gone in 5-10 minutes every time. Glad I don't have to do that shit anymore and just get the tix automatically posted to me.

    But yeah baseball stands aren't always full. And obviously many people wouldn't be interested. Failing to see what point you're trying to make though. All people have different interests. You'd have to pay me serious money to go to the theatre or the opera or whatever and yet I'm not making fun of people who do that.

    Don't get why people hate soccer and call it boring. Just because the scoring system is harder to score doesn't make it "boring"

    IMHO I like all sports because they are pretty much the same thing but don't have time to watch all sports

    - people passing the ball / puck around trying to unlock a defence
    - attacking line up / defensive line up

    But when people play sports video games they complain when they rack up easy scorelines and complain its too easy to get points on the board, but when watching sports they hate low scoring games and love high scoring ones?

    Yeah, you have the gang of "Nobody plays defense anymore in the NBA" and the gang of "NBA is a bunch of 40% chuckers the offense sucks"... And the funny thing is it's often the same people.

    It has nothing to do with the low scoring.....I just don't like the way its played. I think its boring. I don't care if anyone else likes it thats cool (I enjoy tennis and most people I know couldn't care less).

    NHL and soccer have a lot of the same things that bug me......offsides, the "four corners" offense, ties...

    only sport worth watching for the entire game is college football due to the ramifications of each game. however, even watching a full CFB game is hard to do.

    regular season MLB, NHL, CBB, and NBA are completely unwatchable. NFL extremely close to joining that group.

    After I get done capping the last thing I wanna do is sit through a whole game on TV. I would rather bake Crownies like the bad Romo. Or crochet a scarf. Or maybe golf.
