Football sucks. Most boring sport on this side of soccer.

Is this real??

Is this a legit comment??

MLB is a joke league. As bad as the NBA is on calling even games(refs in prison), MLB umps are equally bad. On top of the bad umping, 6 of the top 8 playoff teams are usually within the top 10 payroll(on average). That alone makes the sport a joke. And that's on top of bad umping.

I want to believe you're being sarcastic but I don't think you are. Truly disturbing if you think MLB is a legit league. Especially if you own a business. --- Let me sink your business into the ground by offering the same service with quadruple your payroll. Good luck surviving.

Again, I think you're being sarcastic. Otherwise... stupid. Football(NFL/NCAA), Basketball(NBA/NCAA), Baseball(MLB).... nobody cares. That's the pecking order. If I had to choose another sport to follow after that, NHL. Soccer will never be an American sport and neither will college baseball.

Again, I hope you're being sarcastic.

If you think baseball is more important than UT football, troll.

Any league without a salary cap is useless, and college baseball isn't shown on TV for a reason. You're flat out trolling if you care more about baseball.

Most people that don't like baseball either hail from socialist countries or were exposed to lead paint as children and tend to eat boogers.

Baseball in general is more important to more people than UT football. Not sure why this comparison is being made.

Also the NBA sucks.

I would rather watch XFL than MLB. Well I can watch about 2 innings at a time. I love attending baseball games but I cant stand watching it on TV.
