I have infinitely more respect for people on gear who waited til they were ~25, close to their genetic walls, and got blood work done than most "natural" athletes

    Like I said nothing is for everyone, but I used to think like both of y'all until I actually started watching the sport.

    No. Like I said, one goal can be extremely important but also not scoring a goal can also have huge stakes if you understand the context of the season or tournament. So every save is something happening, every tackle is something happening, every miss is something, every corner can be nervous or full of anticipation.

    Some games can be boring, but I've seen plenty of boring NFL games or basketball games too. It matters what games you catch, but since I've started watching, I think it has had the most exciting games and comebacks of the sports I watch.

      I've watched a lot of soccer and the fact that it's just a bunch of people running back and forth with the expectation that this is probably not going to be the 30 seconds of action that decides the 60 minute game really does not do it for me at all.

      Granted I've also got adhd and "constant action" sports with no discernible stop/go/test points are excruciating (I've seen too much basketball and it's very boring too even though someone scores every minute or so) but I don't think I'll ever see the appeal of just watching people run around knowing how improbable it is that this is the 30 seconds that decides the fate of the game.
