I have played just about every major US sport at one time or another. Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey and Soccer. Ok, Soccer is not a major US sport but, thats because people dig High Scores. I'm not much of one to watch any of them. Baseball is a summer game, meant to be enjoyed with a few brewski's, hot dogs or other grilled food of your choice. Outside with friends and family. The game and season is long and is more of a zen type thing to sit and watch. Football is shorter in season, thank heavens for those players whose average career length is less than 10 years. You go once a week, have a tailgate party, drink brewski's and depending upon where you live and if you have a domed stadium.....freeze your noogies off!
Basketball is high scoring and with a lot less stop and go action. And the one sport I can actually play with some skill, albeit fair to middlin'.
Hockey is quite puzzling to me in that, it's a Canadian National Sport, yet most of the NHL teams are in the US. And it's almost idiotic to me that there are a lot of teams in the deep south. Florida I can see, since many Canadians retire or vacation there in the Winter. But, Phoenix, DALLAS, NASHVILLE, ????????????? Unless the Boston Bruins are playing for the Cup, I usually root for whatever Canadian team is there.
I don't mean to offend people thats just my tongue in cheek perspective! For a real humorous spot, I wish I had pictures of me playing for my dorm team back in college, talk about pathetic. LOL I'm the only person who ever fell on his butt before a faceoff and nobody was near me! <grin>
As for Car racing, yeah it's big in many areas. Just not something I care for. Golf as Mark Twain put it was, "A good walk wasted". Tennis, same as car racing.
