I probably watch more NFL football than any other sport, followed by hockey, then baseball and basketball. I enjoy all of those sports and I just love the numbers and statistics and the analysis and strategies and so on. I can discuss any of them all day, and occasionally make a valid point even.
I can watch golf in very short spurts, like a couple of minutes, and then I'm wondering if it would really be so bad to spend the rest of my life blind. Similarly with bowling. Some sports are fun to participate in, but not really to watch.
Soccer is somewhere in between. Love playing it (haven't played in decades, though) but don't watch it very often. Have pretty much no idea regarding the strategies and without that it's mostly a confusing jumble. I might just be too old to want to learn another sport.
Oh, don't be silly. No one would pay money to watch other people having sex.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
