I am a lover and watcher of all sports but I find both of these to be a little boring if someone or some team I'm interested in isn't featured or if it isn't an important game/league/tournament.

Isn't baseball considered super boring even by americans? I've never watched it
People tell me this, but I went to games as a kid so I like it.

It's American Football by a considerable longshot.

The amount of commercials and downtime make a game completely impossible to watch.

I think any sport can be fun to watch as long as it's a close game. Unfortunately most games I've watched are complete blowouts, so I generally don't watch them

You certainly managed to pick the correct two options.

Always fun to watch: Basketball, Hockey

Usually fun to watch: Baseball, Boxing

Only really fun if a team I root for is playing: Football, Volleyball

Can be entertaining on rare occasion: Tennis, Racing

Always boring: Soccer, Golf

Baseball by far. It's just a bunch of standing around and bluffing for a few seconds of payoff.

The correct answer is:

Pretty much all sports are boring unless you are watching a team/ player that you really want to win. (And that team/ player isn't losing badly with no hope of a comeback.)

Football is the best sport in the world.
Golf is not even a sport. Most American crap are barely sports, like baseball, which is just pathetic. Americans only enjoy pedestrian stuff.

Americans are indoctrinated by the cheap Hollywood rush, so they tend to prefer idiotic crap like Basketball so they can see points racking up instead of a good competition. The problem is with your culture, or lack thereof.

Basketball has the most entertaining off the floor stuff if you're into analytics and salary cap/trade stuff (aka nerd stuff). The on court game is meh.

Football is the opposite

edit - I get people not enjoying american football because of all the breaks but once you know the sport and can analyze everything happening pre-snap the game really takes on so much more meaning. Watching audibles because the qb is seeing cover 1 and their #1 wr is matched up against the #2 cb with single safety help running a seam route makes me giddy for much longer than the three seconds that the play is actually happening

Yeah golf is my favorite sport to play with friends but you'd have to put a gun to my head to watch actual tournaments.

but get a group of friends together, a few beers and some music, and you have a great, great four hours

Counterpoint: once a game goes to where fouls are necessary to catch up, it's trash.

Gonna go with golf here. Watching hole-in-ones are amazing though.

I honestly don't understand the appeal to watching soccer. There is so much kicking the ball back and forth...... and that's it.

I feel like the game might be more interesting to watch if they eliminated the offsides rule.

Any "is this sport actually good" discussion is always, always made worse when somebody says "and that's it" (or some variant, like "it's just x"), because you can be that reductive with every other sport.

Offside can be annoying and there's an argument that the current interpretation of the rule favours defenders when it should favour forwards, but the game would be very dumb if you removed it entirely

Sports need a balance of something happening vs. nothing happening

Too much of something happening is bad: Basketball
Too much of nothing happening is bad: Soccer

Most sports are in the action genre, including the above examples, along with quality sports like hockey, BMX, and tennis. They are the Aliens or Terminator 2 of sports.

Then you have the suspense genre of sports, which are the Terminator 1 or Alien of sports. This includes things like billiards and baseball.

The only time golf is exciting is when an incredibly rare shot happens, where as soccer at least gets counter play.
