    Both the NFL and MLB are amazing (although I only watch the playoffs for baseball), can't bring myself to watch the NBA (yet), I've tried to watch the league in the past but I don't it's for me. The NBA disrespects its viewers

    NFL is fun if you have a phone or someone to talk to during the commercials.
    The NBA is meh, kind of boring to watch but very fun to see people online shitting their pants about it.
    I would rather tear my balls out and use them as Ping Pong balls before watching an entire Baseball game.

    Basketball is decent and I want us as a nation to do well in it. NBA seems cancerous to me though
    Ice Hockey is pretty cool, Germany has a dedicated fanbase (for German clubs) and I really enjoy that more and more Germans make it to the NHL, although most of the potential still is untapped

    Baseball is autistic and therefore not bad in my opinion, but I still can’t imagine it taking off here, even despite the autism we Germans love. To me, it’s just boring for the most part. I guess you have to grow up with it. Nothing against it.
    Football/Handegg can be somewhat neat to watch from time to time, but I really dislike Euros who genuinely follow it. I don’t think this sport offers us anything. But I don’t mind you guys watching and playing it since it’s yours
    Indycar also has its perks, even though I prefer F1 all in all

    NFL is the best one. Basketball might be good if I watched a good game, but every basketball game I've ever seen, I've hated. Baseball is weird and boring and you can't figure it out just from watching. Ice hockey should be a lot better than it is.

      The thing that holds back ice hockey is it’s tempo.
      Compared to football which is very rhythmic, coordinated, and explosive. Hockey is way more gliding around somewhat loosely.
      There’s no real point where all the players efforts are coordinated together in a single push, except maybe with some good passing.
      It’s just Euro football but sped up on ice.

    NFL by far but the breaks are ridiculous. Why do they need an ad break after a turnover or a scoring play? Just tell the players to get their asses to the line of scrimmage and form up. Can't take more than 20 seconds but we get more like 20 ads instead

    Football just doesn't do it for me, there are too many stoppages, contrived rules in order to make the sport work, two different teams to play offense and defense which is somewhat infuriating to a Futebol fan.

      People usually think its boring bc they don't understand the pitches.
      There's a lot of strategy and situational play involved.
      Like set a guy up high and inside with a fastball. Then throw a slower pitch in the same location

    i like basketball because it requires so much fricking skill to be good at it, blows my mind. i also like how it still has this raw aspect where you can completely shit on another player with a dunk or breaking their ankles and shooting a 3.

    i'm kind of neutral on baseball, the idea of the game is good but the games just take too long.

    handegg can be pretty exciting (watched the bears for a while when i was a NEET 10 years ago) but the constant commercials ruin it. at times it felt like i was watching a parody because of all the truck and fast food commercials.

    American football might be the best spectator sport in the world. It's a really great game and I like the fan culture too. I think the fact that the season is so short makes me appreciate it even more.

    Hockey is also a great game but unfortunately doesn't have the same popularity as football. There are probably too many games played and it can sometimes get quite tedious. I would prefer two halves rather than three periods. 3 v 3 hockey is an amazing spectacle but penalties are extremely anticlimactic. Should be a much more popular sport than it is.

    Baseball can be fun but it is an extremely slow game for this modern world. The games are too long and there are too many of them. I tried to get into it once but realised it was less time consuming and more enjoyable to watch the highlights instead. Also very depressing watching half empty stadiums all the time. Feels like this is a declining sport.

    Basketball is my least favourite of the main American sports. The back and forth nature of the game is tedious to watch and the amount of fouls given is excruciating for new fans. Feels like half the attacks end in someone flopping to the floor after barely being touched. I don't really see the point in tuning in until the 4th quarter as that's where the game is mostly won. Also the most political of all the sports and it's nauseating having black Id politics shoved down your throat.

    Handegg by far

    basketball is boring until last minutes of the game (it would be better with volleyball scoring system)
    baseball is just dreadful but the uniforms are nice
    hockey is all right but hard to follow the action and too similar to football

    Handegg is the most alien, uniforms have great look to them, it's the most America frick yeah, gets most media coverage and the season is of a perfect lenght

    If it stopped being Advertisement Ball, handegg would be pretty good - as much as I enjoy making fun of it. But a sport that's supposed to be around the length of a soccer game taking up to 4 hours due to ad-spam is unwatchable. Baseball is actually horrifying in its boredom, it seems more of a replacement for going to a park with your mates that you also pay for. Hockey is alright, it just seems slightly off that the main objective is getting past a "fat" guy taking up 90% of the goal. It's either worse than semen slurpers in soccer or very entertaining depending on skill level between teams. NBA could theoretically be fun but triple digit points make scoring boring until the end and people finally realising that you can bypass the entire defense with 3 pointers doesn't bode well. It would be like if every soccer player could score from 40 yards out. What you want to see is dribble drobbles and dunks, not some lanky nerd throwing into empty nets.

    Soccer is by no means perfect, it could use some rules to deal with diving (eg. you get sidelined for a couple of mins if you stay on the ground for too long - helping actually hurt people to recover and punishing divers) but it also gets minor rule revisions annually and major ones every 3-5 years, so it doesn't stagnate as much as other sports.

      i think that's mostly because of how the rules for defense have changed so trying to stop a 3 pointer will almost always end in a foul

    NFL - boring shite, that takes too long, with too little action, too many breaks too msny adverts. It should not take 4 hours to complete a match lasting 60 minutes
    NBA - exactly the same as above
    MLB - boring AF to watch, but the fact its history goes back into the 1800s, and it's all very well documented makes it interesting to me
    NHL - too quick, puck is too fast, can't see what's hae
