Would you rather watch baseball or soccer?

I grew up playing soccer and going to my siblings’ soccer games up until I was about 12. I think this over-exposure jaded me toward soccer, and the only time I’ve enjoyed watching soccer since is the World Cup when Germany won it (only because I was in Germany at the time.)

I hated watching baseball growing up until I got into high school. Now I love watching the Braves and State.

Depends on the event. For soccer, I really only watch the World Cup, and Olympics. Its awesome seeing tournaments that are country on country and the entire worlds watching. For baseball I'll watch the Rockies, Mariners, and Rebels if there on.

I was never a big fan of watching baseball growing up, and I played both sports, but I always loved going to baseball games, and the chill-old fashioned American vibes of being at a minor-league/MLB/ or college game. I never really liked watching either on TV growing up.

I watch a lot of baseball now because my friend plays in the MLB, I had my Swazye College experiences, and I live close enough to Coors Field. So its by far watching Baseball over Soccer for me at this time.

For me, nothing beats actually being at a baseball game. I love the ability to sit back and relax through the 9 innings. Completely different experience than basketball, football, or soccer

Baseball

Soccer is right up there with Nacsar in the excitement level for me. Hats off to you guys that enjoy it. I just never could get in to it.

This... is a tough one actually.

I do love baseball but the atmosphere for a big soccer match is through the roof.

For the season, and the playoffs, I lean towards baseball. For getting my hate on and cheering for the home side only soccer comes close to college football.

Yeah, nothing against soccer or people who enjoy it. Just not my thing I guess.

I wish we would have had sports like hockey, field hockey, and lacrosse growing up.

Soccer. Before living in Europe I couldn't have cared less about the sport. Since living in Europe and traveling with my team to away matches and seeing the passion and grime from the fans and players, I've been hooked.

It’s like any other sport. It’s amazing to watch when your team in winning.

If team USA was dominating the World Cup and state lost that series to Florida and didn’t make the post season you would say soccer is better.

I love both. Baseball takes a lot longer though, so I'd rather watch soccer.

Soccer is by far the sport I watch the most.

Baseball is the only sport I even got bored playing.

I don’t think so. I didn’t care when the US was doing well in that previous World Cup, and I didn’t care when they didn’t qualify this year

Baseball, no question. But I watch soccer every four years and enjoy it.

Baseball. Soccer is boring and gay.

Die Mannschaft and Bayern are the only soccer teams I'll watch.
