re: Why don't you like the sport of hockey or baseball?

I don't have a rooting interest in a home town team, don't really understand the rules, and I've never played nor know anyone who has.

The only hockey I'll watch is Olympic hockey.

Also, I love hockey movies so there's some interest there.

And I used to love this game.

I just have no personal connection or interest in any MLB or NHL teams

baseball is slow and therefore boring to watch unless you are drunk..and even then, still hard to watch..plus the whole steroids thing..turned me off towards the sport in general

hockey is hard to watch for me because of the puck being so incredibly hard to follow.. that and there really isn't much hype around hockey being from Nola (the Brass was cool though)..used to watch the Stars and Modano as a kid..


both sports are awesome events to attend in my opinion, granted I haven't been to an NHL game..but I assume they are much better than the Brass..

Baseball is fun at the park, but too many games and seamhead stat dorks are borderline unbearable. The sport benefits from having nothing else going on in the summer.

Hockey is sick in the building, but I can see why people otherwise don't care.

was so much more into baseball while I was playing it as a kid..

I really don't like how Baseball will not modernize to cater to television audiences.

baseball just fricking sucks. Its slow, no drama, no action unless someone gets a double or better. It just a sport for old boring people. It's not even as good as soccer and I hate soccer too. But at least there is constant moving in soccer.

Hockey is fricking awesome.

I completely understand people not enjoying hockey, or any other sport for that matter, but it annoys me when people jump into a thread (or irl conversation) to say "hockey sucks" or "who cares?" It's childish.

I like both sports fwiw.

Yeah the crowds for the Icegators was great for about 7-8yrs, then the fad passed. But I still enjoy going to a hockey game at the Cajun Dome. If there was an NHL team close I'd get season tickets. But you'll never see me at a baseball game. Not worth my time.

the Mystics faded out in 2002. But yeah, there wasn't one game I went to and left thinking it was a waste. Sat right on the glass a few times, very entertaining.

I don't really hate baseball but when I was a kid I loved it. I enjoyed playing it almost as much as football and that is saying something. I watched a lot of Braves and Cubs games on TV. But about the time when I lost interest in playing the sport, it was all downhill from there. I remember watching Game 6 of the 1995 World Series to see if the Braves could win it all. I really believe that was the last time I've watched a whole game.
