it has to be a shot on goal...It’s still bad. You launch the ball 500 miles out of bounds you should not be given the ball again

auto, horse, dog racing.
Easy answer.
They move backwards more than forwards
They make the floppers in the NBA look like tough guys
It’s just a brutal brutal sport
It’s a product of what you do when you’re younger.Sign me up for all the Netflix documentaries on EPL teams. I find that super interesting, but unless it's a world cup, I make it through about five minutes before getting bored out of my mind.
Maybe it would be better if I treated it like baseball and kept it on in the background while I was doing something else.
I absolutely disregarded all things auto racing for my entire life; never cared about NASCAR, Indy Car, all the other weird American sectors.This is sort of off topic, but I recently watched this Formula 1 docu-series on Netflix. It is amazing and got me into F1 now. Crazy sport that I never knew much about.
Soccer.
I hear you on the big pitch, but Rugby 7s is a fun watch.Rugby. During the early pandemic, Aussie Rugby was one of the first televised sports available but since the rules are incomprehensible, just the worst.

Everything is 7. 7-on-7, 7 minute running time halves, and lots of scoring. I can (and have) watched all afternoon, game after game.
The WNBA can be brutal, but it has its moments. There was a playoff series between Diana Tarasi‘s Phoenix team and Sue Bird’s Seattle team that was epic. The two of them went to add each other making big play after big clay. It was a great watch.WNBA (and starting to find the NBA unwatchable). MLS. Used to watch NASCAR, but cars are too aero dependent and there's not enough action at the front. I watch F1, but the same thing applies.
I'll watch anything UConn even if I don't fully understand the sport (I'm looking at you field hockey and lacrosse).
/threadSoccer.
I'm with you. The whole game has become guys tossing up 3 pointers. NO team play whatsoever. Celtics, who I historically rooted for, had to have one of if not the worst assist to basket ratio. For the moment they have kissed ball movement, player movement and passing aside. It's all about spacing and chucking.I'm in the minority here, but i find the NBA largely unwatchable, at least now. Too much iso play, travelling has gotten even more ridiculous (which i didn't think was possible), uneven refereeing.
Every once in a while, you get a back-forth great game, but largely the minority.
Now that you mention it. What are the rules for scrums and change of possession? I thought it was 4 tackles but that doesn't always hold true. I tried to look it up, but it is confusing.I enjoy rugby, but i think most Americans struggle with the possession rules in scrums, etc. Otherwise it's pretty fun, especially in person.
