Because just like golf it's extremely boring to watch. Americans like watching games with fast paced action like football and basketball.

 

 

lol. you are so right.

baseball is 20 minutes of action packed into 5 hours of play.

basketball is a good sport but when a player gets touched on his wrist they stop the game for 2 minutes to shoot free throws.

football is very boaring. 20 seconds of play then a 40 second break. and during the 20 seconds of play they barley move up field.

hockey. i hate hockey. (pretty weird for a canadian) but hockey is really a sissy sport cuz they wear mad padding and theres so many players on a small rink which makes it very hard to score.

soccer- soccer for me is amazing to watch. sometimes it gets boaring if your watching to shit teams i.e sheffield united and QPR, but the atmosphere of the crowd the close calls,the amazing saves, and the penalty shootouts make the game great. also when a player scores, its a big relief. wish i could go see a man utd game.

cricket is just an amazing game. i really dont know what to say about this game but its good speically watching it.

The padding is for the 90 mile/hour puck flying through the air 

Oh and the skates

 

 

 

Also, Soccer players are all actors and it pisses me off 

Soccer player takes a dive - Gets awarded a penalty shot
Hockey player takes a dive - Gets punched in the face as soon as he gets up

 

But I love TFC games, one of the reasons is cause we even "boo" our own players if they dive. You're Canadian you should know how we feel about those types of players.
