Football of the European variety
When it comes to sports viewing on television I can’t watch anything except world cup soccer. The Eurocup is coming up, staring 7 June in fact, and I’m looking forward to it. I’ve never watched a Eurocup so I don’t know what to expect.
My point is that sports on TV suck! Yet when the stakes increase somehow the enjoyment of watching increases. A very few times in my life I’ve watched a final game of the baseball world series and that was also extremely engrossing.
Though I’ve not done any study on the topic, as in comparing goals or RBIs or penalty time, I could swear that the games with higher stakes are better, more intense, and faster. That may seem obvious but it leads into the question: what is it I’m after? It doesn’t seem to be the sport itself…
