I think the boredom that many of us feel from watching "soccer" aka football, is that there is very little actual action--which is why sports like American football, rugby, lacrosse, or Aussie Rules Football garner a bit more respect as "action packed".
If you are a long time supporter or fan of soccer, then it's much easier to be interested in the game, but as far as a new viewer goes, there isn't much to be inspired over, or very little to be drawn in by.
There is a lot of setting up, a lot of back and forth, and very little scoring.
Any hockey fan will attest that a boring game is one where there is little scoring, few hits and even fewer fights.
In soccer, it's like a bad hockey game, over and over and over again.

Golf is quite fun to play, especially if you're just hitting balls at the range
I had a lot of fun playing soccer growing up, just can't watch it.

The only sports I'll watch are mountain biking and motocross--mostly on youtube to avoid commercials and other time wasting BS they interject into a TV broadcast.
Other than that, I'm more of a sports doer, not a sports watcher. I get free hockey tickets occasionally, but only go for the 8% beer they have at the stadium. And boobies. There are always nice boobies at a hockey game.

Yeah, Ryan Dungey. Christ boy, I call him.
Reed made a dirty pass, nearly taking him and Stewie out of the race....Villo passed them and Christ boy gets a podium place.
@Dan
The think with this is that passes are actually made, and it's less of a machine race. You can see the rider, read their body, see the frustration or anxiousness in their riding style.
With the obstacles, it makes the race change lap to lap. Top riders lap the slower riders in less than half the race time, and they become a new set of obstacles.
Can't watch car racing. Too impersonal, and the road is just flat with some turns.Bores the crap out of me.

I watch Superbikes or MotoGP with my dad, much more entertaining just because there's more chance of a crash or overtaking. Other than that motor-sports bore me.

Really!? It's been there for a while, even on 'the boards that shall not be named'. I saw it ages ago but at the time I was completely incompetent with how URLs and stuff worked so I didn't know I could use it like this. May update it soon.
Your sig reminds me of "Can't sleep, Clown'll eat me..." "Iron helps us play!" "Hello Joe!"

And they got one on my hamstring and one on my upper back on the same side and told me I'd croc roll lol. Was like an explosion of white energy lol. But I made no noise and didn't move just to spite em lol. 50000volts for the first shock before it goes to 12000volts. Fun times lol.

You tell those kangaroo hopping, koala hugging, fosters drinking blokes to not hurt my SPOOKERS or I will fly over there and kick their ass. And they respect my authority, they even named a city after me (though they spelled my name wrong).
