baseball, no question about it.

it's a boring sport to watch if you don't know the strategy part of the game..sort of like watching a chess match...you have to know what exactly is planned and counter-measurements to opponent's strategy.

other factor is, unlike the clock-driven sports, baseball had to be played to the very last out in order to call it a game. that is, anything CAN happen, and you actually will lose a game even if you are riding a 14 run lead. not a lot of sports out there allows this to happen (yes, football or basketball, but each has "multiple scoring" system...it's harder to score just 1 runs...in baseball you have to score 1 by 1 all the way up to win.)

it's also not as easy to actually play the game. try stand from the rubber, throw strikes without being hit, or try to step in the box and make solid contact to the pitched ball. and that's only the basic of the game like skating and lift the puck in hockey.

soccer? don't get me wrong, it's also not easy to play soccer, but there're 2 reasons i really dislike the sport.
1. what's the problem of soccer players being touched and they all automatically go down and cover their faces like they've been run over by a car or something. then healed once the opponent team was punished or trainers wiped their tears with a tower.? what the heck?
2 and the biggest reason, soccer is internationally known as a "violent-related" sport, due to brawls on field, brawls between fans. what? is it ok to burn down the stadium because the home team lost? it's ok to shot the national team player because his brain cramp resulting a scoring play? heck morally it's not even ok to punch an opponent fan in the face because their team won the game...but it's being done in soccer. Not every game but soccer people has to admit, a whole lot.

edit. i shouldn't use the word "hate", i apology. it's nothing against the sport, sure it's fun but just how the game is carried out. i absolutely dislike it to the extreme.
