who even watches combat sports, tennis and F1?

[comfortably dumb]

so boring, tbh. from the nature of the sport to competition systems

and I'd say obsession with combat sports is a pretty incel trait

football, basketball and handball (in Europe) are infinitely more interesting

idk, boxing is king when it comes to combat sports, but it's 99% hugging and dancing around each other and 1% clear punches. and there are like 2 high-profile fights per year

Very true, and I feel like the sport peaked in the 90s. Still, Jones, Ali, Tyson compilation videos are like a cup of coffe

mirin' based Indians for not giving a fuck about globally popular sports and having cricket, kabaddi and field hockey as their top 3, btw

I think sports will disappear in the near future, people won't have the patience anymore to sit for several hours and watch two teams or athletes against each other, it will simply be too boring, even now at football, basketball, etc. matches more and more people are mostly on their phones and just occasionally watch the game - watching tiktok, youtube clips, checking messages, reading news, posting on social media, playing mobile games, etc. provides a better and more intense dopamine rush, it also lowers the attention span and makes watching a long sport event a pretty dull and monotonous experience...

There are lots of entertainment alternatives now to sports - you have so many movies, tv shows, video games, etc. - it's a ton of content, and of course there's also social media, news and other stuff always at your fingertips on your phone, it makes going out to see a sport event a pretty underwhelming experience, sports might survive if they would change, become faster paced, more varied and find a way to include their audience in them.

Watching tennis is not boring by any means and is a high class high iq trait

Combat sports are usually interesting especially muay Thai and kickboxing cause there's always action going on and knockouts are very common, plus the fights are short, even MMA is entertaining.
