NFL. Constant commercials with a little football sprinkled in and even then booth review after booth review.

I would say soccer...but they don't cram it down out throats here in the US. So, my vote goes to the NBA. Completely unwatchable sport....

Soccer fn hate it. Sick of ESPN and FOX putting the scores on their ticker during College Football as well. Nobody in the states truly cares if Bjab tied Sluma 1-1


THIS. Did anyone notice that Fox and NBC had soccer up against the Pitt-NYG game Sunday? Wonder what kind of ratings they got.

They had great ratings. Fox just got outbid for the next contract which is worth seven times what the last one was. BPL rights go for way more than NFL rights.

I enjoy soccer especially the Premier League and any games between countries....kind of grew on me living outside the states for over 20 years....I really don't watch that much NBA but it is my least favorite sport, even though I watch the playoffs...

No hockey for me either. But I've booked some of those bets and made out well.....only problem was it was a set up for an LA Administrative vice sting!

Soccer . Shortn the field and have obstacles like wipeout maybe I'd watch
Maybe try watching Futsal (world cup is currently held in Thailand): Much smaller field, played indoors 5on5. Much faster game, but you'd still be missing the obstacles and the slapstick from Wipeout *LOL*

Hockey and NBA.

Who cares about the US? I'm talking worldwide rights.

This is the big fallacy about soccer. People in the US don't care that much about it, yet it is forced down our throats. It may be the biggest worldwide, but for networks to show it opposing the NFL is laughable.

Shoved down your throats? How so? It is usually only available on specialty channels that you have to pay extra for. I love soccer because we don't get a commercial break every five seconds. We get a forty-five minute half with no commercials, then a fifteen minute break to make something to eat, and then another forty-five minutes with no commercials.

I would have the exact opposite opinion. The World Cup sucks to bet on or watch. So many crap teams from African and Asia in it. The Euros are much more interesting on so many levels.

Disagree....World Cup is exciting and the biggest betting venue in the World...bigger than any Super Bowl or March Madness...
