Some Sports Are Just Plain Old Boring

I love most sports. Most people in America love sports just as much as I do, or more. I think it’s because of the competitive nature that exists inside us. We love all kinds of sports.

They can leap to heights that can only, if at all, be imagined by the average person which adds to the thrill of the game.
