That part I understand, but that doesn't answer why it's so popular from a viewing standpoint. Fun and cheap to play, but a snooze-fest to watch for the most part (just my opinion).
Soccer was the only sport I played growing up, yet it's the only major sport I truly don't care to watch aside from the Olympics.
Then again, it's only the 5th most popular sport in North America, the least of the major sports, while it's really the only major sport outside of North America, so it makes a lot more sense from that standpoint.
