I think a lot of it really is preference. Americans also generally prefer football and basketball over baseball which is a more objectively "boring" sport. We like more action.


Football is objectively the most boring sport, least action sport there is.

Sports preference is about 1. Marketing 2. Availability thats it

as far as being objectively boring based on scoring I guess your right but football definitely would rank high on the "action" scale.

Bingo. I think It's because there's only one commercial break in a 90 minute match, and thus not much opportunity to catch people's attention, which is why a lot of major networks don't carry it. (exclusively)
