compared to Quidditch?
If Quidditch were a sport, I wonder if there'd be 'roid scandals of users boosting their magic.

Originally posted by @vivifySoccer, baseball, tennis, bowling, golf and many other sports are very boring to watch. If you consider chess a sport, then you can put that in there too. I'm not big on hockey either, and car racing is for the birds.
No, baseball is incredibly dull. So is soccer.
Of course I am talking about for most people. There will always be fans, but for non fans these are very boring sports to watch.

Bowling is fun to watch for brief periods of time. At most, I can only watch one standard game; however, I rarely even make it that far, on the few occasions I happened to catch it. One of the most baffling things I've ever seen, was a bowling match on ESPN that actually had cheerleaders who jumped up and down excitedly whenever there was a strike.
Golf is boring, but when in the right mood, on a relaxing weekend with a beer, watching it on TV can be pretty peaceful, though I'd never watch it in person.
I can only watch chess if I'm there with people I know, like at my barber shop. As far as watching it on TV, I can only watch it if it's blitz.
I actually do enjoy watching baseball the playoffs. There's an excitement to the game that's sorely missing during the regular season.
Soccer is fun to watch during the World Cup, if I'm around other soccer fans rooting for their home country. I once watched such a game with Nigerians cheering for their nation. That was a lot of fun.

I was good enough to get called up for 1st division. Central midfielder.
A few goal assists and long range strikes in my time.
I never made out of the pub leagues
Was it in England?

Originally posted by @eladarI understand now why Americans are so obese. When you go out to a game there are so many breaks with nothing to do or see so you stuff your faces with weenies (are those hotdogs?) and corn dogs (couldn't even imagine what they are) or other disgusting food things that I have no idea about.
Soccer is so boring that quite often you'll hear a drunken crowd just start singing about nothing.
They should make eating a sport. The USA would win the world cup in that for sure.

But you lot actually pay for young girls in short skirts to be cheerleaders. Strange very strange.
Oh and the one song you do your players show disrespect to your national anthem
Must be great day out.

In Murwillumbah I started playing for a 3rd (and lowest) division. After 4 or 5 games the 1st division team asked me if I would play striker for them.
In Brisbane I started playing 5th division. After 2 months I was offered a spot in the !st division team due to another guy's injury. I kept my place in that side for the rest of the season. I think we came 3rd out of 14 or so.

Originally posted by @karoly-aczelIn tennis, there's never more than a few seconds before someone scores (love, 15, breakpoints, etc.). It usually doesn't take very long for someone to actually win a point. It can take a while for a set to be won, but there's lots of action and scoring in the meantime.

edit: Tennis you say?
That's unlike soccer, where it's not unusual for a game to end with a score of 0-0.
