Why do so many baseball fans trot out this tired, insulting argument? It's pretty arrogant to assume that the only reason baseball bores the crap out of some of us is that we don't understand it. It's also insulting to assume that we'd be better off if we DID want to blow three hours watching a game.
It is equally insulting to assume that all who enjoy watching spectator sports are brain-dead morons who can only find enjoyment in the more seemier aspects of the human condition, like the discharge of bodily fluids or guys getting kicked in the nads (not that there's nothing enjoyable about THAT!).
How about living and letting live?
After all, it is the anti-baseball side who started this worthless thread.
