How easy is it to get into a new sport?

[Optimistic Nick]

I rarely ever watched other sports when I lived in the UK. I watch American football now and baseball. I really like them both, but I don't know whether I would have got into them as much if there had been more football on TV when I first moved here. I suspect I would though. I can just about tolerate ice hockey and I can't stand basketball.

What was your knowledge of football and baseball like before you started watching?

Zero.

But my interest in baseball was piqued by seeing a documentary about the Brooklyn Dodgers. And American football is very hard to ignore in this country.

I never watch American football but I LOVE an American Football documentary - Last Chance U, QB Beyond the lights, I lap them up. The drama of it just fascinates me but the slowness of watching a whole game means the actual sport has never grasped me (so far)

I've watched it at least 3 times. Excellent.

So good isn't it! Perfect mixture of sport drama, great character development and genuinely gripping storylines.

Its one of those series that if you aren't gripped after the 1st episode then you never will be
