Does the English premier league define all soccer or any specific league?? Soccer predates it so whatever issue a person has with the EPL is not relevant to soccer as a sport. The NFL is a league of a sport that was around decades before its creation. College football was wildly popular before TV or even radio, so Americans took to it. So, TV adverts has little to do with the popularity.
yeah epl is not football. i for instance did not like watching epl since 90s but like mainly to watch serie a it just is type of football i am drawn to la liga and bundesliga as well.
Soccer is easy to watch because there are no commercials, though I don't get excited unless it's literally Seattle in a championship game.
I get far more excited about the Seahawks and Mariners (and formerly the Sonics), but I've gotten far less ok with commercials over time. Now I turn the sound off and either channel flip or go do something else if a commercial comes on. This is more anger than boredom however.
NASCAR. It's not even racing, and I think w/o the usual gazillion wrecks (Daytona anyone?) most of the viewers would fall asleep. The announcers never, ever shut up either. F1 has become almost as bad though, w/ extremely boring races and silly Tilke tracks. Their announcers are WAY more annoying too.
I was going to mention golf, but no way is that a sport. Bunch of out of shape guys hitting a little ball w/ a stick into a hole? Oh yeah, bring that on, baby! Maybe they could talk Taylor Swift into showing up.

I like that MLB is faster now. But also means commercials are a larger percentage of the duration. It feels like 40% of the time flipping to it it's a motherf***ing commercial. So basically I'm annoyed 40% of the time I try to check in on a game.
Or it's those god damn in-game commercials where they do two screens and I have to race to turn the sound down and blacklist the advertiser.
