That soccer is boring. I'm european and love playing soccer but it's boring to watch.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

That's pretty much all sports IMO

Can we get a sample of your username?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

...a sample? Like, you want to whiff farts orrrr?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, a little soundbite. What accent is it? French?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Aah, I see. Well, it varies based on what I've eaten. I ate maple sausage and scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and chives for breakfast so I guess it'd be an American fart?

I'm afraid I don't have one in the chamber though, so no farts to share.

Basketball comes to mind as a pretty good spectator sport. But I agree for Baseball and American Football at least

Soccer is fine. It's the flopping which makes it unwatchable.

Bro you are a full grown fucking man in the prime of your life and you just spent the last minute rolling around on the turf screaming in agony but now you're back at 100% for the next attack?

The game really needs a rule which requires any player who goes to the turf for longer than 10s to get a sub or serve a 60s penalty.

There's no soccer in Europe ;)

Soccer is at least barely enjoyable.

Not like those cycling races that take 5 hours with nothing happening in them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think that's just sports in general. I enjoy playing almost all sportsball games. I'd sooner watch a Pong Livestream than watch 99% of sports.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Volleyball is pretty amazing to watch (and play too)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Sitting volleyball is kind of ok.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

The greatest spectator sport is curling 🥌. I'm not even joking.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Well that's just it; it's not boring, but watching it usually is. Professional sports was a mistake.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

OK now this one I agree with
