No, but whining about the popularity of college basketball is.
I'm always amused when hockey fans feel the need to attack basketball, as if the sport in general was the reason hockey has such a hard time getting a strong national following. In no other sport do fans see another sport as an enemy.
I could point out how cycling and rowing are more physically demanding than hockey, or how hitting a baseball requires more skill than controlling a hockey puck. But none of those things have anything in common with what sport deserves more media coverage.Last edited by Kstat; March 24, 2014, 07:14 PM.

An argument over personal preferences? Seems like a good thread for it.
Personally, I can watch and enjoy almost any sport. I love soccer now, though I've never played. I can actually watching any cycling race, mostly because I do it. Aussie Rules is a fantastic game. Once you figure out Gaelic football, it's great to watch. The stuff I don't much enjoy are Olympic sports and X-games nonsense. Of the major sports, hockey is very low on my list and baseball, a childhood favorite, has dropped.

I have watched several Aussie Rules Football games on ESPN and I enjoy it. I'm still a bit fuzzy on the scoring system, but I can understand why its so popular. Its like a combination of Soccer and Rugby on steroids. Amazing to me is how hard those guys hit each other, and they are wearing no equipment. Reminds me of when I was a kid playing with the guys in the neighborhood. We played full contact tackle football, and rarely got hurt."in order to lead America you must love America"

I'm still not sure how often they have to "dribble" when running. Seems arbitrary to me.

A player running with the ball must bounce it at least once every 15 meters.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho Marx
