Why is baseball so popular??

[njkid123]

Seriously out of the big 4 sports (NBA NHL NFL MLB) baseball requires the least amount of physical activity and has close to no action.. Lol at baseball fights. Guys are fat and lazy but get paid millions ..

[citysambo]

All American sports are just not good brah IMO. If they were, the rest of the world would play them.

[Keravnos]

it's all about subconsias.Subconsiansly people match the word baseball with base///as in 1t base and balls as in....scrotum and that turns them on.That's my explanation anyway.

[njkid123]

I'm a huge soccer fan and here in the US, people prefer ****gy time baseball over soccer

[StUck686]

u hit a ball with a bat and spit what dont u get?

[wolfdawgygawg]

baseball is the phucking greatest sport there is. I know I play baseball

[kclulz88]

I don't know if the "OP is a *******" saying has ever been more appropriate

[Dysfunqtional]

most baseball players are neither fat or lay, huge misconception. some Pitchers are yeah, but most are not fat at all.

Baseball is by far the most fun sport to play IMO.

BRB actually getting to have fun with teammates during the game.

I never had NEARLY as much fun playing basketball or football.

[matt7]

subconsias.Subconsiansly

[AuburnBrah]

People love baseball because they grew up with it. Same with any other sport. Very rarely do people become fans of baseball, football, soccer or any other sport without being exposed to it in their youth. Hence why India is obsessed with Cricket when the rest of the world would rather kill themselves then watch it.

[swagzilla05]

OP u mad?

[Ray9]

love baseball. the only people I know who hate it have never played or have sucked when they tried to play as a kid.

The rest of the world DOES play them, except football

love baseball. the only people I know who hate it have never played or have sucked when they tried to play as a kid.

Are u kiddin? A baseball game is like 3 hours, but in all 3 hours there is maybe 3 or 4 minutes of actual action.

[njkid123]

Not lazy?? "sore vagina out for 6 weeks"

Hockey players will take a 90+ mph puck to the face, get stitched up and come back in..

[SpartanIHSV]

It's just a chill sport not always exciting but you can go to the park or bar or such and just shoot the **** with the homies and drink beers and. Paying half attention to the game half attention to drinking and talking = great afternoon.

If you are looking for excitement hockey would be a much better sport to watch.

[Jester78]

All American sports are just not good brah IMO. If they were, the rest of the world would play them.

also take into consideration all the poor countries that can't afford to play certain sports, like hockey or football (equipment isn't cheap)

poor countries can kick around a wad of cow **** and call it soccer

[njkid123]

I just don't understand why the players are pussies..

I remember Posada a month ago pulled himself out of the lineup.. Really?? Didn't know baseball was a girls sport

And Rowand broke his face and was playing on a cracked rib.

If you don't get baseball, I can see how it's boring. But if you think, oh look another pitch, and don't understand the significance of the count and runners in play, then you just don't get it and are probably one of those fans who gets angry when your hitter hits a groundball to the right side with a runner on second and no outs.

[BleachedAnus]

used to play baseball. Its boring as fuk to watch, fun to play.

[thehord13]

It's funny how many of these pro "athletes" get injured simply by running to the base.

BRB too unathletic to run 90 feet without tearing a hammy or pulling a groin

I do understand that baseball is more of a chess game than anything and I respect that. I actually love the college world series, but that's about all I can handle as far as watching baseball on tv
