it involves speed and so much skill overcoming teams wielding various sporting paraphanalia at you...who have various personalities and abilities.... \n\nYou put it together and its a heady mix...so why wouldn't you like it?

Hockey is more exciting because there's more non-stop action.  Football is great to watch too, but there are too many strutting, posturing idiots like Terrell Owens out there, who think the whole game revolves around them.  Hockey has no one like that, thank God.  It's a true team sport.

baseball does not require anywhere near the degree of athletisim that sports like basketball, football and soccer do. What makes the game interesting is the matchups and strategy that you come to see only when you have a good grasp of the game. The most important of these is the pitching. How the pitcher mixes and chooses the placement of his pitches and the types of pitches he throws. I can understand how someone wouldn't like baseball its an aquired taste

Because soccer or I shall say football is one of the most played games in the entire world, except USA. \n\nThe world is hooked on it, just like americans watch superbowl and would kill someone if anyone would try to stop them. Hence, football puts the fighting on the field with 22 players.\n\nIts an awesome sport if you play professionaly. I spent 12 years playing it, its awesome.\n\nFootball is diplomacy with balls!

They bring fans together, are a form of entertainment, much like a TV show or shopping, and are so organized (standings, statistics, final scores) - people subconsciously seek this organization within their hectic lives. It sounds cheesy but its true. I HIGHLY recommend the book "The Meaning of Sports" by Michael Mandelbaum. Sports are a form of diversion from the burdens of daily life. It is like an unscripted drama - the outcome of each game and each season is unknown by all. Some say "it's only a game", but is the Grand Canyon "only a hole?" Absolutely not

It's a thinking man's game.  There is a lot of strategy.  Yes, it can be boring to watch at times, but there is so many things going on in the game that the casual viewer misses.  I watch the "game within the game".  For example, when there is a good base stealer on base and a pitcher tries to keep him close to the base.  Baseball is also a numbers game.  Baseball is the best game for satistics.  It is also nice to compare players and eras.

it brings nations together. You look at other sports, American Football, Hockey, Baseball etc. No other sport other then Football can say that all nations in the world play it. A world championship that brings nations together, this is no national championship, its international and you see the emotions on the players. It truly is a beautiful game

Formula one is the most interesting. Its the worlds most watched sport only second to world cup soccer which is once in 4 years.

Probably because it's relatively easy to play.  Only a ball is needed, and no other specialized equipment, so even children in poor countries can afford to play it, which builds its popularity.  It doesn't hurt that the teams are large and everyone gets involved, either.

I love the finesse, it's definitely the highest skilled of all the sports, you don't just bully the ball down the field, you dance with the ball.  All your body parts (Except your hands) are in on the action.  It takes stamina, strategy, teamwork, and a bit of Art!  The World Cup brings all the best together for this, what is more awesome than that?

I play sports and like sports in general so I find it to be a fun extra outlet for competition. \n\nThere are those that don't like it at all and it is not for everyone.\n\nLike some things, you should try it to see if you like it and not just base your decision totally off of the opinions of others.

It's one sport that everyone - no matter their background - can learn to compete at a professional level if they work at it hard enough. There's also a lot of careers that can come out of it.

Yes, Its a great sport, that all ages can play.\n\nAge and skill do not necessarily go hand in hand. \n\nIt's also easy to play with very little equipment.\n\nI've been playing for 23 years. And I still love it!!

its soooo much fun!!! i have no way to explain it to you, but its tons of fun to play and watch. but, its all a matter of taste and opinion! and there's a hebrew peoverb that says "you can't argue about taste ans smell", meaning that these things are personal...\nbut, baseball is one of america's biggest pastimes...! and its played all over the world- europe, asia... \nwhatever...!

it is exciting enough as it is. Haven't you seen the millions of fans who watch it? Plus, it wouldn't be exciting if the field was shorter, because the big field gives the opportunity to develop a strategy, to have a team sprit effort, the ball changes hands more often and then back again, I mean the game is not just the part in front of the goal posts.
