I had no idea who Messi was last time and whenever he was playing he was fucking EVERYWHERE on the field and doing all sorts of rad plays and I was going "damn, this dude fucking rocks". Come to find out he's regarded as one of if not THE best player in the world. So if anything I'll make sure to watch the games he's in.
Same with golf...I watch it mainly to watch Phil Mickelson, end of story...I could care less about most of the rest, even Tiger Woods most of the time bores me, but I love watching the major events and even some of the minor events because Phil is always entertaining to watch because he plays it like the rest of us would play it on a video game. Barely any space between a couple trees in your way? Fucking try to hit through them anyways and somehow slice it towards the hole, why not?
Bottom line, there's entertainment in ANY sport if you look hard enough.

Very well said....
I believe all sports has it own value of entertainment and skills involved.
But to actually judge football shitty is really not fair. I think most of the people who hates football never tried juggling or dribble a football. Using JUST your legs to make a ball "stick like a glue" to your feet requires years of practice. Using you legs to control objects is not our first nature compared to using our hands.
I am not saying hitting a homer or making a slam dunk is easy.....but I think is simply easier to pick up sports that uses hands.
As for entertainment value, everybody is entitle to their own opinion...just like making money in porn....everybody has their own favorite niche. Can we claim that BDSM is more of a manly choice due to all the gadgets and torture that goes with it?
So bottom line is, everybody has their own preferences just like about any other things. You can call football the lamest sports in the world but just don't feel disappointed when people don't agree with you.
But one thing for sure, most of the people who hates certain things is due to ignorance. I am guilty of becoming a prick once for condemning stuff that I actually don't understand. I used to think ballroom dancing is dumb and hip hop is way cooler...lol
