No but like a concert, or a dog show or domino knocking or literally anything else would involve an excited crowd and something enjoyable to experience.
I can’t explain it to you how this is different from something like a concert more than saying that the intense competition going on is a big part of it. I don’t even think you can say that about a dog show because there’s no action there.
That feeling of pointless arbitrary competition is the worst part of it for me - it honestly just disgusts me. Quite literally.
Every big live sport thing I’ve been to has left me feeling physically ill. I came very close to quitting a job instead of sitting through the last 15mins of a soccer match.
No offensive to others, I know it’s my thing and that other people can enjoy that.
“Intense competition” and “action” aren’t associated with baseball. Why do people drink so much at baseball games? Because nothing exciting is happening. At least with bowling the people playing do something, instead of 80% of the team standing around doing nothing. Everytime someone bowls is exciting, things happen. A pitcher, at their best nothing happens. Boring!
Okay, well you can find sitting at a bowling alley watching people bowl more exciting than a professional baseball game, but I sure don’t. And one other person here agrees with me about not enjoying sports but enjoying the whole atmosphere of a baseball game.
It’s adding a reason for the crowd to be excited for one. Do you think they’d be equally as excited in an empty stadium?
