In response to "How much of this tournament have you watched?" by Hunta

None. Because, as I said, soccer is boring to watch. I'd rather watch golf. And I hate golf.

I'm glad that people find enjoyment in it. But, for me, it's a pointless (pun! Ha!) exercise.

It's all part of my "points to action" theorem. The perfect sport according to that theorem is American football.

Responses:

there's like 12 minutes of play in a little over three hours of time in american football. that's boring. -- nm - mafaça Jun 26, 12:15 8
- *DINGDINGDING* and baseball is no better. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 12:19
- You're thinking of baseball. The average football play takes about 12 seconds and there are about 150 of them in a game. -- nm - David Jun 26, 12:17 6
  - the average football game is longer than the average baseball game. also: typical play lasts ~4 seconds, -- (link) - mafaça Jun 26, 12:27 1
    - I apologize. I legitimately have never heard that. Metrics sites I read do go with 12, although the number is in decline as one word offenses increase - David Jun 26, 12:31
  - I've rarely seen a football play take that long from snap to tackle or score. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 12:18 2
    - Oh, so -now- you want to keep precise time! :P -- nm - David Jun 26, 12:21 1
      - :-p -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 12:23
  - 12 seconds? Are we counting the time from hike to the time Ray Lewis jumps on the pile? -- nm - Hunta Jun 26, 12:17
Football is artificially inflated (pun! Ha!) by counting a TD as 6 points. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 12:14
With all due respect then, you have no idea what you're complaining about in this instance. -- nm - Hunta Jun 26, 12:12 5
- Every soccer game I ever watched was boring enough that I have zero desire to watch again. - TWuG Jun 26, 12:14 4
  - No, I'm trying to tell you you sound un-informed, but whatever floats your boat. -- nm - Hunta Jun 26, 12:20 3
    - I'm uninformed because I find the game you like boring? No. I'm bored by what you like, not ignorant of it. - TWuG Jun 26, 12:24 2
      - I don't like it becuase it's a game of keep away. No it's not. Oh, I haven't watched. - Hunta Jun 26, 12:27 1
        
        I see, your complaint is about the "keep away" part and not the "boring" part. - TWuG Jun 26, 12:31
