Is a movie with 50 murders neccessarily better than a movie with 1 murder.. ??
Is a concert with 50.000 people neccessarily better than a smaller concert with 300 people.. ??
Seeing each team score every other second in handball or basketball isn't all that exciting to me, in certain games maybe..

Your examples are irrelevant to the topic.
In a movie, it is better to have one murder. If you have 50 murders, you lose touch with the characters, no room for a good plot, etc. etc. Sports have no characters or plots to worry about.
The number of people in a concert have nothing to do with the actual performance on stage.
It's simply all about preference and nothing will ever change that. Baseball is a slow-paced game, and that's supposedly America's past time. I personally can't stand the sport from a spectator's standpoint.

Sports have no characters, then what are they, robots.. ??
The comparison was relevant, both movies & sports is supposed to be exciting for the viewer..
Wether movies have a "plot" and sports isn't already planned, is irrelevant.
If a movie have 50 murders, you get bored, like "Who they gonna kill next.. :sleep:", and if a sports game have 100 points scored, you're gonna be like "Gee, who's gonna score next.. :sleep:", at least for regular matches, or matches where one team is clearly better than the other.. obviously important matches and close action packed games are gonna be more exciting, but the point is: If you're watching sports ONLY to see the ball hit the net, you're kinda superficial, just scoring/getting points in itself isn't all that exciting, imo.

Why are Europeans so confused why Americans like American Football. It's a game of quick outburst, and explosion. It's also a human chess match. Using big guys as blockers to try and have smaller faster guys score behind them. On the other side, you have defenses trying to do what is can to stop the other team, either by having more fast players to stop the pass, or bigger players down low to stop the run. Each coach has their own schemes, and their own theories. It's not a hard game to get. Just like soccer is as easy as they come. The difference with soccer is that it's just frustrating to watch. I mean, if Mexico is down 2-0 in the beginning of the game, I'd still like to feel like they have a chance to win the game. In football, yesterday the Raiders were down 21-10, and by the last quarter they tied it up. They still lost with no time remaining on a field goal, but that was exciting. I mean a field goal with 7 seconds left and a game on the line, it's a beautiful thing. In basketball, a team can comeback, the Lakers were down 17 in the 4th quarter and cameback to win, who will ever forget Robert Horry's last second 3 to win the game. Shit, even baseball has last second rallies to win the game. Soccer don't have that. I'm sorry, but American Football and Basketball and Baseball are all going to be popular here. But I mean, you guys invented Soccer, and Cricket that's going to be popular in England. That's fine, different cultures, different ways of entertaining ourselves. And you can look down at us for liking what we like, but that's just difference in culture. It's not that we are stupit, or you are stupit. It's just like with any other culture... it's just different. And surely you liberal Europeans understand that.
