In live action, nothing can compete with the energy of a hockey game.
What's interesting is that I take people to hockey games who are not fans -- and they like it very much. They more often than not want to go back. Unfortunately, that's more the exception than the norm.
Wow, I've read the entire thread, and I'm only the second to pick open-wheel racing. (Although, I prefer the IRL to any other, rather than the aforementioned Formula 1)
P.S. Vote Helio!
But what can I say...I'm a little biased, having grown up near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Baseball is a close second...proud member of the Red Sox Nation!
I like to actually play softball or baseball, if I have to pick one to play. I am not nearly coordinated enough to play basketball (bounce a ball and run at the same time?! I'm lucky to walk without tripping!)
Actually, it's mostly the way the game is shown on TV that causes the puck problems. American stations seem to have this nasty habit of using a central, high-angle camera for most of the action and the puck gets lost in the shuffle.
World of difference if you can catch a game on a Canadian program like Hockey Night in Canada, or TSN. The camera shots tend to be a lot tighter to the action and the puck isn't hard to follow.
