I used to enjoy it, but as they kept injecting more and more ads, in addition to their horrific response to the concussion stuff, it's become unwatchable to me.
However, that being said, I think the sport itself is pretty good. Think of it as being "turn-based" rather than the "realtime" of soccer. There is an extreme amount of strategy involved, in addition to the necessary physical abilities. Also, weirdly, math sometimes lol
But yeah, not good enough for me to ignore the insane and dangerous culture of giving your child dozens of concussions before their brain is fully developed...
there's like 11 minutes of actual play in a 3 hour game. Not even exaggerating. The rest is ads, replays and watching people stand around twiddling their thumbs.
Thats so fucken inane, can't we just bring back gladiatorial games? Mock naval battles, to first blood fights, and having Christians mauled by lions sounds a lot more fun with less brain damage.
Perhaps we can use it as a breeding incentive for increasing the Asiatic lion population, we be close to historically accurate since the Romans almost exclusively used the Barbary lion which was a sub population of Asiatic lions.
