while watching game two of the sharks/ducks playoff game, i realized why i am indifferent to professional hockey, basketball, and baseball. it’s not pacing as i previously thought (hockey being the exception). each league has too many games for me to keep track of and in my mind, there’s no great significance for each win or lose. and the longevity of the playsoffs are just as bad as the regular season. hockey and basketball extends the season by playing the best of 7 games. baseball is somewhat better doing a best of 5 games. i find myself not paying attention to the standings until the semi-finals.
sports i enjoy watching because of the fast pacing and significance of each game played:
college basketball
football
sports still up in the air
soccer both us and europe – love watching but i’m not keeping track of the standings
