The way I see it, the people who find sporting events boring don't
have much interest in them. Or you only care to watch one or two
particular teams or events that you do find exciting. I happen to
like watching baseball, basketball, hockey, golf, tennis, gynastics,
MOTOR RACING, and virtually any sporting event. I find them much
more interesting than XXXXXX (insert any prime time weekly TV show).
I don't happen to have cable, so I watch very little TV. When a
sporting event does come on, I usually watch it. Unless I am outside
participating in some sporting event.

That last thought may hold the key to this whole boring discussion:
Do you people that find basketball on TV boring ever play basketball?
Maybe if you did you would appreciate what the pros are doing. Have
you ever tried a tomahawk dunk? It isn't real easy to do. Anyway,
armchair quarterbacks can always change the channel if they don't
like what they see. Thank goodness for variety! And I thank GOD for
not letting me be pacified by a TV. A few times a year you can find
me watching the Daytona 500, Indy 500, NCAA basketball tourney, NBA
playoffs, World Series, etc. But most of the time I'll be outside
playing softball, basketball, golf, skiing, etc. or cruising my
Vette.
