I pretty much love all sports and will watch all of them. I have become disenchanted with basketball though...The NBA sucks and the college game is dominated by refs and one and done players.

And before anyone tells me "you just don't understand it" or some elitist argument- think for a while about the similarities between these two sports and how they differ from every other sport.

Yeah can't say that I "hate" any sports. I find performance sports like gymnastics and figure skating boring.

On TV, both are hard to watch because the screen doesn't allow you to see all of the action.

Hockey? The players there are as tough as any sport. Soccer? Those players are more conditioned than any other sports in terms of cardio.

Both, I enjoy watching live. But, they don't translate to a good TV product.

I don't consider the following statement to be elitist at all.

Before you criticize, play the game.

I would challenge that a lot of sports have more cardio and the athletes are in as good or better shape. Distance and cross country running, water polo and rugby just to name a few. In Soccer a lot of the players are not constantly running that is a misconception, and the halves are only 45 minutes...not quite the endurance test that it is being made out to be. That being said you do have to be in shape to play soccer and it is a lot of fun to play.

I do not doubt the toughness of hockey players or the conditioning of soccer players.

I just find both sports to be incredibly frustrating to watch. Not that I don't understand what's going on- again, it goes back to the similarities of both sports.

Nope, not that.

I find it frustrating if I'm supporting a team.

Its like- oh, we've got the ball / puck...maybe this will be I...wait, nevermind. An opponent kicked the ball or hit the puck to the opposite end.

I don't know, its tough to describe. You and / or others will flame me for my opinion, but I don't mind.
