Soccer, especially European league play. The World Cup is great but the feel of league play rivals that of the NFL. My favorite team is

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


This.

I can pretty much a not watch LSU baseball on TV.

I do enjoy watching soccer on tv though. And in person.

Soccer because the games don't take four fricking hours.

Tough call. Both are really slow and boring. I grew up playing baseball, so probably that, but soccer will put you to sleep fast.

If it’s little kids and I’m at the game I like soccer just fine because it’s cute. As for tv, I feel like I’m watching ants run from one side of the field to the other and sometimes in the middle of the field they stop and go back the direction they came from. I’ve tried multiples times, I just don’t like it.

So, baseball.

I’d venture to guess soccer is “boring” because there isn’t a lot of goals. But to call it “slow” is pretty stupid.

On tv? Soccer.

In person? Baseball.

Overall? World Cup soccer.

Unless it's my Royals in the World Series.

Which probably won't happen again for another 30 years

Gun to my head and those were my two choices?

Soccer. Why? Because it is only a 2 hour event. Baseball can average over 3 hours.

I wouldn’t cross the street to go watch the two best soccer teams in the world play a match. As for baseball, I enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of watching a game at a nice MLB stadium and have been to a few games in recent years. Other than that, I don’t really care to watch it.

Not crazy about either sport but definitely baseball over soccer.

Soccer. Baseball is 95% standing around, 5% actually playing the game.

That's being a bit generous.

Yeah, the Sweden/Germany game was anything but boring. The Swedes apparently hate the Germans and were on the verge of eliminating them from the World Cup. Then, in the next-to-last minute of extra time the German's star player fires in the winning goal from a seemingly impossible angle. The Swedes looked as though their hearts had been ripped from their chests.

Great stuff.

Not to mention the German guy (assistant manager?) on the bench that was taunting the Swedish bench after the game, which almost started a brawl.

Soccer.

Baseball isn't a sport. It's a past time hobby made for the days of radio. Most of the game only three people are playing. Hell half the game most of your team is on the bench. It's the type of "sport" only a lazy person could enjoy. Kinda gay, but hey if you have nothing to do for 4 hours every day but rest your budlight on your beer gut then have at it.

If you are bored by baseball, you don’t know the game.

classic "If you dont like what i like, you just dont understand it." Baseball isn't chess, no matter how many times the announcers use that same cliche to try to make you feel smart about that boring lame made to sell radio commercials game.
