The countries of the Gulf are just obsessed with the American culture. My cousins who used to live in Kuwait actually met a person whose first name is "George Bush".
Talking about some allies to the bones here.

Oh right, I meant that's the general idea I believe people have of it here. If we see baseball, it's something that goes on in american movies or TV shows. It's not something that interests us much beyond that.

I didn't mean to make a statement that it's not popular anywhere else than the US. Even if it is, we don't see that from here and so it doesn't factor into our general opinion of it.

Ah I see. I just misunderstood what you meant.

LOL @ soccer fans calling baseball boring...

Baseball is boring.

I think basketball is the most boring sport on Earth personally.

We are NEVER going to be in agreement over this, but I think soccer is one of the most boring sports on Earth. I won't say the most boring though, because watching a tennis match or golf for three hours are both far worse...

It's definitely more dynamic than football, people score at least a hundred times there.

Yeah but where's the tension in each side scoring so often.

I've seen some amazing 0:0 draws in football where I've been on the edge of my seat for the whole game. (Not counting last friday :( )

See I think basketball is way more boring than football for exactly that reason. Every five seconds there's another point scored in basketball, whereas in football there's more buildup and suspense involved. Football is like a slower, more wussy version of hockey :D
