if you just watch it, you will miss it.
Well that's the thing with any sport.
When a knowledgeable fan watches a baseball game, in between pitches he's considering number of outs, whether the runner might be going, what's coming next, this pitcher-hitter history, the count. He knows that pretty much every pitch changes the situation slightly. He's thinking. He knows the game. He finds baseball interesting.
People that don't know the sport are just sitting there waiting for the next pitch so something can happen. Or a person that does know the sport doesn't find those things interesting enough to make him sit through it.
That's why it's a dumb debate to call one sport a garbage sport and another sport interesting. No sport is inherently "dull" or inherently "interesting". They only become dull or interesting when a person sits down to watch them and puts one of those labels on it through his own filter.
