no i do not entirely agree. hockey is not slow. football has 35 seconds at most of slow parts between plays then a burst of action.
baseball, while i love it is admittedly slow.
the one thing soccer tops all with in terms of pace is basically about 45minutes of uninterrupted action followed by a half and another 45minutes of action

The perception of sports being slow or fast can vary depending on individual preferences. Different sports have unique pacing and qualities that attract different types of fans. While soccer is often praised for its continuous play and non-stop action, it may not be the preferred sport for everyone.
Many people enjoy the strategies, tactics, and suspenseful moments that slower-paced sports like baseball, hockey, and football provide. The slower rhythm allows for close examination of plays, intricate details, and individual skills. These sports also build up tension, leading to exciting climactic moments.
Ultimately, the appeal of a sport's speed or slowness is subjective, and people's preferences vary widely. It's important to recognize and appreciate the diverse range of sports and their unique attributes, as they cater to different tastes and interests.
They are all boring to watch. Soccer is about the boringest. I'd rather watch chess.
Baseball... yes.
Hockey and football... no. Even though there is some down time between plays and if the coaches go crazy with time outs and there are reviews the game can stop at times but when the action is on, so much is happening, so much speed, violence, collisions, the big plays are so big and dramatic. I would not call it slow.
Baseball yes. Just pitch catch, throw back to pitcher, batter steps out, fixes glove, steps in, pitcher pitches. No swing, ball is thrown back to pitcher, batter steps out, fixes batting gloves, steps in then signals for time, steps out again, steps in, he's ready, pitcher throws pitch, no swing, catcher throws ball back, batter steps out, another pitch, no swing, another pitch, fouled off, another pitch... etc. That is slow and can be quite boring.

I can’t watch American football for that reason. Half of the time they stand around, debating. And, even worse, that will always be used to throw another stupid commercial in my face. 🤬
Real football is just 2 x 45 minutes of game (unless they beat each other up, of course).No. There are a few sports like baseball, NFL, golf, cricket, lawn bowles etc which are slow.
Then there are a lot of fast paced sports like association football, rugby, rugby league, basketball, ice hockey, field hockey, tennis, lacrosse and volleyball which are all fast.
I think soccer is boring. When you can end in a 0-0 tie, there's something wrong with the sport.
I love baseball and like football as well. Baseball is extremely strategic but you need to understand the strategy.
Basketball and hockey are fast-paced but I'm not really into either.
I think hockey is faster than soccer is. Also, basketball is faster in the way they score points. So that's more fun. They don't run as fast because they have a much smaller court, so if soccer fields were smaller, they would be jogging also.
Baseball's a tad slow but not as slow as cricket!
Whats the difference between soccer, hockey and football? They're all the same game but with slightly different rules.Google says the average soccer/football game, from beginning to end, lasts roughly 2 hours. I'd rather sit through 2 hours of rusty nails being slowly hammered into my eyes, my joints, and under my fingernails. lol
Hockey is faster than soccer. Football is slower but designed around breaks in play baseball is... more of a game than a sport, to be honest..
That's the sport where a final score could very well be 1-0 right? No they're all equally boring.
I do not agree at all. How many points do they actually score in soccer compared to the NFL and NBA
To be honest. I would ban golf, and make it a war crime to play.
Soccer is boring af. It may be fast, but that "fast" consists of a bunch of guys running up and down a field to little effect.
Actually, hockey, like basketball, is considered one of the fastest sports when it is NOT interrupted by a referee's whistle.
Baseball is slow and golf but not hockey at all, football sometimes but not all the time
Hockey is the fastest sport on earth
What are you talking aboutcontact sports are exciting, soccer and baseball are a bit slow and boring to me.
Football (American) is not a slow sport.
Hockey is not slow. Disagree.
No…clarify what you mean.
Exact opposite to me. Soccer is slow to me.
I agree. They are also all over paid
