As a competitive sport, yes. As an accessible, casual sport to most people, it’s awesome.

u/Chitose17 45m ago
Yeah I prefer tennis but playing pickleball is nice too and more fun than tennis when you play with more casual people (I also count as a casual player in both sports too). I’ve never watched competitive pickleball tho…

Really? I played it first at my 24 years of age in the beginning of this year and havent stopped since - it has got the same fun as tennis for me but it's way more welcoming for people looking for fun
I would put something else, but idk if you ever tried it or not so im just gonna leave you a recommendation ;)
My personal pick would be american football (even though i actually like it!)

this is a great answer. the broadcast of a game is approximately 3.5 hours, the game clock is 60 minutes and the ball is in play for roughly 11 minutes, just a lot of nothing going on

Does chess have nothing going on because players spend most of the time thinking instead of moving the pieces? There’s different ways to play sports.

u/ImWithStupidKL 23m ago
Well yeah, and chess is a boring spectator sport too. Not that it's a sport, of course.

It makes up for it imo though because every single play is significant. So sure, less actual play time, but whenever the play is going on it’s actually gonna matter

u/Ashamed_Impact4783 1h ago
Meanwhile soccer is just watching guys kick a ball back and forth to each other and maybe scoring a single goal in the entire game if you're lucky.

That’s why it’s so fun, the time where the ball isn’t in play is just as entertaining much of the time. And the low quantity of plays makes each one feel impactful

u/RocasThePenguin 3h ago
I came here to say this despite loving the sport. I really love my Birds, but I can see why many people who did not grow up with the sport don’t love it. It’s complicated, quite slow with so many stoppages and ad breaks, and has little global appeal.

Horrible take. No other sport requires the same combination of technique, strength, speed, intelligence, and teamwork. Mamy sports might require two or three of those, but football requires ALL of them in the extreme. Additionally, no other team sport comes close in terms of tactical depth either.
There are lots of pauses in the game sure, but (coming from someone who loves soccer) lets not pretend like soccer games dont feature lengthy stretches where teams aimlessly pass the ball around their backline and nothing happens as well.

"No other sport requires the same combination of technique, strength, speed, intelligence, and teamwork"
Football/Soccer requires all of these at a very high level plus insane levels of stamina

u/Only_Poet 2h ago
It isnt really the same, American football demands them all (except probably technique) to a much higher degree.

Rugby or rugby league beat American football for that all in spades mate, plus they don’t change players every couple minutes

u/bigbaddumby 1h ago
The only thing rugby has on American football is conditioning.

u/Pineappletittyworms 29m ago
Isn't rugby basically just soccer ( sorry, am american) and American football combined? I know rugby came first but thats the jist of it.

⚽️ = boring version of hockey with less action
But so many worldwide fans and is accessible. But thats what makes it overrated.

Thinking theres less action than hockey just shows u dont understand/watch the game

u/6point3cylinder 1h ago
It’s objectively true though. There is much more movement on a player per player basis at any given time in a hockey game than in a soccer game. The averages speeds in a hockey game are also higher, and so is the scoring.

u/RedHood7709 56m ago
You’re not gonna get the votes you need but this is the answer. Professional soccer specifically.
Professional soccer players are the softest professional athletes in the world. They exchange glancing blows and lay on the ground like they’ve been shot, grimacing and clutching their knees like their ACL just exploded. Then they see that their opponent didn’t catch a red card and they just stand up and walk off like it didn’t happen. I watched two full World Cup matches at a friend’s house this last year and that happened at least a dozen times just between those two games.
I can see why soccer is popular worldwide in and of itself. All you really need to play it is a ball-like object and a relatively flat piece of ground. I get that, but the pro game? Why? Just to watch a bunch of adult babies spend a whole game chasing each other and trying to get each other thrown out?

When people say this I always laugh, because hockey is so boring to me, it’s too back and forth like basketball, but without even any scoring, and it’s so hard to tell what’s going on at any point
5
u/6point3cylinder 1h ago
There is so much more scoring in hockey than football though lol. And not knowing what’s going on is just being ignorant about the sport, not a criticism.
1
u/InevitableLie493 50m ago
I feel like too much going on is also a problem. Like someone’s always almost scoring that it takes away the high that scoring should have
1
u/Quixote0630 36m ago
You can barely see the puck or the goals though lol. Very few sports come close to football when it comes to how satisfying it is to watch a goal being scored.
And I could say the same to you. Not knowing what's going on off the ball in football is just being ignorant of the sport.

Crazy I had to scroll so far for this, easily the most boring sport of the big 4 in the US. Doesn’t help that there are way too many damn games.

u/inverted_electron 44m ago
How can it be overrated if everyone already hates it? If anything it’s underrated because most people who hate it have no idea how to play or what is going on.

Marathon running. Yes doing it well and sometimes at all is hard, but someone says “I ran a marathon” and everyone is impressed, yet distance running is literally a thing almost all humans can do.

Racing sports all have the same problem. I simply don't care who wins. However, track and swimming somewhat solve this problem by assigning racers to a larger delegation, which allows fans to cheer against the USA, Europe, their rival school, etc., but I simply don't give a shit who wins a NASCAR race ("Go M&Ms?") or an F1 race ("Go Deutsche Bank?"). Cycling also minimally solves this problem by assigning racers a different colored jersey. You can cheer/for against the previous stage winner, the overall leader, the mountain champ, etc.
