A co-worker of mine went to a Pittsburgh Riverhounds game and went on and on about how impressive it was that they ran (or jogged) the entire game... as if it was entertaining.
I bit my tongue as I thought "so it's as exciting as watching a marathon".
Soccer is a good game to play, especially for kids, because you're always running around but boring as hell to watch. When I was in Italy a pro soccer player named Thierry Audel was sitting with us on the train from Pisa, he was playing for Pisa at the time, and was nice enough to take a pic with me and my Terrible Towel. Tremendously nice guy. I looked him up later and found out that he's a pretty good baller.
