Breaking News: Soccer is the Most Exciting Sport

January 5th, 2006 | by: WC Bob | Comments Off

A team of scientists in the United States has determined that soccer has been the most exciting sport over the past 100 years with baseball second and watching paint dry a distant third.

The scientists, who decided to study something really important instead of, say cancer, determined a sport’s level of excitement based on the frequency of upsets. Apparently soccer has become less exciting over the past ten years since there have been fewer upsets, while watching paint dry has been able to consistently maintain its level of excitement for over a century.
